Reviews
“…I'll come right out and say it: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will be
discussed when Game of the Year 2012 rolls around. It has brought the
conversation about what combat can be in the role-playing genre to the forefront
and sets the bar exceptionally high for its future contemporaries in the genre.
But don't let its competition-shaming gameplay lull you into think that
that's all this game has to offer, because that's just gloss on an overall
package that's bound to impress the RPG faithful. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
isn't the perfect game. Its random technical hiccups and inconsistent art style
certainly holds it back from even higher levels of greatness. But no matter what
you're looking for, whether it be amazing gameplay, immersive storytelling or
perhaps a riveting new world to explore as you fully customize and re-customize
your character at will, Reckoning has it all. And after I jump back into my own
game to clean up all of the optional stuff I didn't do, I sense I'll want even
more. And yes, so will you.” 9/10 – IGN
“..Deep, polished gameplay wrapped around an interesting and engulfing
universe with all of the bells and whistles RPG and action game lovers crave
spread across enough content to keep you busy for months.” Gaming Nexus
“…Though it leans a little too heavily on well-trod genre conventions,
there's no denying that Reckoning has a whole lot to offer in terms of sheer
breadth. Similarly, though the challenge tapers off dramatically toward the end,
its combat is welcoming, gratifying, and hypnotic.” 82/100 Game Trailers
“…If you love any or all of the following – RPGs, rich fantasy worlds,
action games – Reckoning is a rich action RPG with a deep narrative, even
deeper character customization, and plenty of content right out of the box. Go
get this game.” Team Xbox
