Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning review question

[barackopala]

Not an amazing game, the game has camera issues and it's a bit too restrictive on the movement, another problem is the questing system itself, it's bland and boring.

The upsides are the customization system for your talents meaning that you'll get bonuses depending on what talent tree you chose giving you cool bonuses, the loot that you get, the weapon variety and overall flow of combat (feels meaty, maybe slightly less responsive in terms of animations), the game does emphazise exploration, meaning that the more you search for hidden stuff more bonuses you'll end up receiving.

Another downside is that if you do most quests you'll end up extremely upleveled thus taking the challenge out of the game, the level cap is 50 so you can't do big talent comibinations, add to that no mount or big movement speed buff and you'll have hours walking/running.

I tried the demo and asked myself why would I want to play a single player MMO-like game.

After 2 hours of playing it, yesterday, i asked Origin for my money back and gave my reasoning why, and they gladly gave it back

Is it worth it for 6 dollars? Yes.

Is it a good game? You have to decide that one.

Cons:
Uninteresting story.
No roleplay that I can see.
Each quest is more of the same. If you've played one zone, you may as well have played the entire game.
It's your typical "you're the only person who matters" questing game. Did I mention there's no decent story?

Pros:
It's skyrim-lite on bulk
The price

Considering everything? Releasing this game at launch was EA putting a gun to 38 studio's head and forcing it launch an unfinished game. But 6 dollars is fine.

Inclined to say; Well done

worth worth, especially for like $6.
I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first fable.
Never actually got around to finishing it, unfortunally, but I enjoyed all I did play.
Definitely get it, especially at that price.
op returned it after 2hours. nice...

I really liked the game, however the travel time was insane. Lots of running around/gathering quests.

He-he, this reminds me of KotoR back in 2004. I didn't know anything about the game other than that it was Star Wars and that it was almost universally acclaimed as the best game of 2003. So, I bought it, installed, started and was like, "WTF is this? Terrible controls, terrible combat, terrible graphics, terrible plot, lame tutorial, clunky character system...". I almost quit 40 minutes in, I thought it was an absolutely horrible game. I am so glad now that I persisted and wanted to see more of the game before finally turning it away... As of now, it is my second favorite game of all time, right after Mass Effect series.

But, well, you are free to do whatever you want with your money and time.
