Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Re: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

I’m always nervous buying a reboot as I tend not to like older games. I tried Skyrim and didn’t like the combat but this combat looks better (more varied and less clunky). It’s half price too. I may cave lol.

For a game like Amalur, I'd wait for a Black Friday/Christmas type sale tbh. It's solid, but nothing that makes you go "oh wow, I need to rush out and get this now".

Its available on EA Play in some form, not sure if that's just Pro or not.

I won't play the remaster until it eventually gets on Game Pass and the DLC comes out. I know that the lore is why the combat is the way it is, but I've often said that if The Witcher 3 had the combat of Amalur it might be the GOAT for me instead of a game that I to stop playing a third of the way into the game. For action games give me ultra easy, fluid controls and movement every time. Amalur itself is a top 25 game all time for me.

So....I got silly and picked it up on a lark....

It's been a long time since I played this, but IDK....

It really doesn't look like a true remaster - it looks like a slightly polished PS3 version of the game. Still pretty and with it's unique art style, but even the menu screens have a 'dated' look to them.

I will say, the fidelity of movement and combat is still very much there.

If you're looking for a "next gen version" of the game, meh. If you're just wanting to be able to play the game on your current console...it's good enough...but it feels more like a PS3 port to PS4 if that makes sense. I have not gotten in deep enough (or remember enough) to tell you how good/bad any added content might be.
