In brief, it’s great that THQ Nordic revitalized this classic. I appreciate the presentation boosts, and the under the hood changes to leveling and difficulty. I would have liked to have seen shorter load times and a revised inventory management system so that players can more easily avoid spending so much time in their inventory, but these are things that could very well be addressed with patching. Those two gripes aside, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is an awesome game and a wonderful experience to sink into.
Looks like Warcraft, plays like Fable, Amalur brings nothing new to the table. An RPG-lite, if you will, there’s enough for casual players to have fun with, as well as hardcore players to sink time into.

A masterpiece. We need more of this. Great storytelling. Enough crafting elements to make it interesting, but not so much that it becomes burdensome.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning’s world holds so much promise that it was heart-wrenching when the franchise went dormant, but with this new lease on life, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it won’t be long before we get a full-blown sequel. Until then, I shall continue exploring the world of Amalur as Barnaby, the dashing rogue.
Reasons for playing, then? Nostalgia.
Appeasing all those ‘best RPGs you’ve
never played’ listicles. And as
a reminder of why character–
new ideas and memorable
places – is so important to a
grand adventure. [Issue#181, p.86]
Hopefully, this is just THQ Nordic's first step with the new IP, and that could perhaps be the biggest selling point for the game. Back in the day, there were big plans for an MMO set in Kingdoms of Amalur's world, while potential sequels were brought up in fan discussions from time to time. While it may not be perfect, Re-Reckoning would be a great way to finally lead that charge and realize the grand vision that 38 Studios once held.
The best parts of Amalur are still intact, but with the caveats of the visual bugs, outdated look, and endless sprinting, you’ll need to keep those rose-colored glasses on for the entire playthrough.
Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning is a poor attempt at a quick money grab by the
developers. We’ve expected a remaster and gotten a re-release of a 12-year-old
game. Little to no improvements have been made and the price is almost as a full
modern AAA game. The game itself is amazing, and all RPG fans should play it, but
either get the original or wait for a big discount on this re-release.
Sorry, but far superior to Skyrim, The Witcher, or Fable. It's actually fun to play. And the combat is FAR superior to any of the aforementioned, Skyrim is dull and drudgery compared to it. And in Skyrim you get attacked by a dragon about every 5 steps you take. I want to explore and **** fight a dragon every 3 minutes. Whomever made that game design decision should be canned. And the Witcher combat...just plain clunky. Fable may come close, but Amalur is fun and fantastic.

Приятная игра из детства. Пробежался по сюжету, насладившись прекрасной музыкой и красивым миром. Боевая система всё так же принесла много удовольствия.

This is one of my all time favorite games on the ps3 but on ps4 it looks prettier and that's it. it's in a technical aspect an inferior port , is not even a remastered is a demastered, it has problems the ps3 version don't have. Still is an enjoyable experience for arpg enthusiasts!

For nostalgia only. For new players all the positive and interesting features are met with "that's it?" after a couple hours in. Interesting concept, bland execution. Leave it back in 2012.

I‘m pretty sure the most of the 8+ reviews belongs to the original game which was awesome back in days. The remaster itself is just a joke. You won‘t get a last gen PS4 game, instead you will get a PS3 game with higher resolution, which is pointless along such low texture quality. It is just the original game with some minor patches which was bundled as standalone for the full price. Hopefully they will add some texture improvements, shader, lighting and effects along the upcoming fate extension, at least some additional improvements for the PS5.
