Meh
Big boring world, terrible writing and world exposition. Only fight stands above it.

6/10
Re-Reckoning is a reminder of what made the original great in 2012, but mostly a testament to how far we've come since.

8.5/10
It may not be the most important remake of the year, but Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a gorgeous, dense, and charming adventure.

7/10
Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning is a good solid remaster, just don't expect much to have changed compared to the original. The world is as magical fantasy as you could get, and it really does draw you in, but some technical issues and a number of repetitive quests can dull the otherwise colourful experience.

Utterly Hollow
This is an Action RPG at its core. One that is tragically flawed. I'll say this much for the game - the range of voice acting is pretty great. And that's it - in 2025 nothing about it holds up. The combat feels floaty, unsubstantial and poorly balanced. On normal everythjing is so trivial its boring on hard everything is so spongey its just a slog and boring. Apparently the builds get interesting but I just can't get over how BLAND the action feels. The most efficient course of action is just to stunlock enemies and potion spam beat down on anything higher than normal because the health pools are just so pointlessly inflated. I just don't care. In this age where games like anything Souls related has firm but fair balancing and has since before this even came out the first time around I just feel my time is being wasted with this. I click the button, the health bar barely moves but the can't do anything click click, hope my clicking doesn't get interupted by adds! Oh no I miss a dodge my healthbar barely moves is not engaging. Turn the difficulty down literally NOTHING is a challenge at all now. Bullet sponges are BAR NONE the most annoying unfun design methods in gaming - it's a fundamental misunderstanding of "high stakes" when your difficulty is just bigger numbers is harder. The game design here just does not understand what makes action fun. This is stuff happening for the sake of stuff happening style gaming. And I suppose I could forgive it given the age of its original design but I'd rather not - it costs people real time and real money today and both could be better spent elsewhere. The game is either barely above an idle game in engagement on the first two difficulties and thus just box ticking MMO tedium in a single player game. Or else just repeating your win combo on things for minutes at a time after figuring out their animations. It's just so very dull. YMMV - I'm sure there's someone out there that this appeals to but this is a hard miss for me.

Check the community wishlist before tank
For those writing negative reviews here due to the re-release, I suggest checking out this page on the Community Wishlist: https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/kingdoms_of_amalur_reckoning_original_nonrereckoning Which is specific to the NON-rereckoning version. Anyways, as an actual game, this game is incredible, not much more is needed to be said.

Rinse, Repeat, Snooze.
So much potential. So much waste. This game becomes a slog fast. The story which starts out so strongly isn't enough to keep you interest as you plow through infinitely respawning areas that all feel the same, just with different skins. I want to like this game. I want to enjoy the pretty feel of it. But I can't. I finally just gave up as it just ended up feeling like wading through a swamp of disappointment and eventually just boredom. There never got to be a point where I felt I had accomplished anything, despite the piles of quests. What went wrong? I don't know. But something did, and it means you should probably pass on this one. There are better RPGs.

Fantastic game
Played the original years ago, one of those games that I didn't want to see end. The combat was fantastic, from the skills to the actual mechanics of launching your attacks. The world was beautiful and big enough, with each area having a distinct feel/vibe to it. I even got into the lore of the game and found myself making decisions based on what I wanted for the world, not necessarily min/maxing my char. It felt like I was playing in an MMO world built just for me. Loved it. Unfortunately, this is a game that will always be judged by many for the "off the field issues" related to 38 Studios. And there's a lot that went wrong there, no doubt. But solely judging the game on its own merits, it's a fantastic experience well worth the time of any rpg fanatic.
