Ambitious RPG, great qualities and flaws
Review as 1.08 version. To summarize KoA-RR as much as possible, it'd be more or less like oblivion with less in-depth mechanics and WoW-like graphics. However, the game has interesting qualities and flaws alike. Performance wise, I'm playing on a Ryzen 5 3600, 1050ti and 16gb, runs fine, although I can't see the FPS on GOG, feels 60 FPS or more, likely the patches solved performance issues people mentioned. Another important feature changed after patches is how the area changes the leveling (not of chests loot) everytime you enter, instead of the first time. This is quite good in Amalur for two reasons: first, the level of the area is capped, second because of the massive ammount of content, you'll hardly manage to do everything that area had to offer, so the dinamic leveling gives you a chance of revisiting while keeping it worth your time. Exploration is surely one of the biggest qualities of this game. A vast open world game, lorestones scattered around to give you some good lore, sometimes even in form of poems and songs, which is really nice and fitting for some cultures. Plus, they give you XP and permanent bonuses for finding all of the same set. However, there is a big flaw that hinders the exploration, that you can't jump unless on certain platforms, hence the movement suffers a lot by that. Quantity of content is absurdly big, more than most of open world games. The quality of them is varied. Some quests are bland, but many quests are really good and interesting, and so are the NPCs. I've never met a character unvoiced so far, and most quests have a good background to mask well the chores themselves. Sadly there isn't a first person camera, and while there is a day/night cycle, there is no clock and the night is too bright, you might think it's day. Plus no character sheet with summary of status (like Morrowind's). Overall, I'm hopeful for a sequel that THQ Nordic will keep the amazing qualities and work on some of the most important flaws.
