Product Review
Release Date: 10 February 2012
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning™ is an open-world action role-playing game set in Amalur, a mysterious and magical new fantasy world created by New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore. Brought to life visually through the trademark style of renowned artist and Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, Reckoning brings a new level of visual style and visceral action combat to the RPG genre. The game is being developed under the leadership of Ken Rolston, lead designer of the critically acclaimed RPGs Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Reckoning combines intense third-person action combat with deep exploration, expansive character development and customization, and immersive storytelling in an extraordinarily detailed fantasy universe. Gamers begin their journey when they miraculously rise from the dead, wielding dangerous new magic capable of changing the very Fate of Amalur. Thrust into a brutal war between multiple races, factions, and alliances, players vie for the secrets of their immortality and the ancient evil that threatens to consume the world.
The lore of Kingdoms of Amalur spans an epic course of 10,000 years of history created by R. A. Salvatore. Reckoning captures a moment in this history, the tale of a singular hero capable of reshaping the fate of the world of Amalur. Every building, tree, and creature has a clear and defined history within this immersive world filled with extraordinary landscapes, mysterious cities, colorful characters, and fantastic creatures inspired by the legendary art style of Todd McFarlane

And silver goes to....
Reckoning is a more than decent game. Doesn't reach the level of Elders Scrolls or Dragon Age but isn't far behind. The experience leans more to Dragon Age because of the huge yet limited world. You can't just go where you want and how you want. The world, and its several subdivisions are more than interesting enough to make up for this. Nice story, although it tends to disappear into the background because of the multitude of side quests an side stories. The action is fluent and the controls are near intuitive. The tutorial more than covers the basics and while playing, and gaining abilities, you easily keep up with the expanding number of possibilities. In-game you sometimes encounter some unbalances, but as they tend tot be in the advantage of the player, nothing to worry about. After over 70 hours finally starting to get near the ending (still 1 out of 5 regions to go though) Overall a nice game, logical controls, a world that keeps you going and for quiet some time as well. Definitely worth your while/money/time.

If Skyrim and God of War had a baby
... it would be Kingdoms of Amalur. Overall it's an amazing game, that's definitely worth the price. By the end it starts to feel a bit tedious as far as quests and gameplay goes, but it still brought me over 50 hours of fun on the hardest difficulty before I had my platinum trophy.

An action RPG with some unique twists
Looking for an accessible action rpg with some unique twists in a vibrant fantasy world? Then Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning may be for you. In many ways Reckoning resembles World of Warcraft; a vibrant fantasy setting with some unique graphic design, skill development trees, and more simplistic interactions with non player characters. Players of WoW will feel comfortable here although it's in the area of combat which Reckoning is the most fresh; an action oriented system which takes a leaf out of God of War's fluid third person action ethic. If you're looking for a truly immersive experience with options and choices in virtually all aspects of the game look to the land of Tamriel. If you're looking for an action rpg game with a fluid action experience and an engaging and vibrant sense of design then give Reckoning a try, you may just fall in love with it.

ARPG meets FUN
If you like ARPG, this is your game. If you like hack'n'slash, charting territories, discovering treasures, leveling up your charachter's skills... it's your game too. Kingdoms of Amalur is FUN, is BIG and is all that a great rol-playing-game must be.
