Modern gaming consumers man!, its just a cycle of outrage instigated on You Tube Spreed to the Audience then to Twitter and back to another You Tube video, just a cycle of people looking to create or be out raged,
    This re release was made for consoles the PC game all ways looked good because games scale with PC hardware, so you wont see much difference. On PS3 and 360 this game was 720p at 30FPS, you can now play it at true 4K 60 fps on the 1X and 1440p 60FPS on PS4 pro and 1080P 60 FPS on base consoles, this is a massive upgrade, IF you cant understand those number than you wont understand just how amazing they are.
    Yes the art and assets are the same, thankfully because the character models in the original game are more attractive than the character models in modern games made today, thanks to political pandering. Yes the animation looks dated but this isnt a full priced release and re animating 1000s of characters would have made the project way to costly to risk.
    Its meant as a performance upgrade so modern console gamers can experience this amazing game. After the cry baby reception that the game has received for not completely over hauling everything, and them not spending 500 m on this risky project dont expect many more of histories hidden gems to be brought to the new platforms. Its just to much of a risk with today's entitled modern You Tuber community and their hungry for out rage audience.    … Expand

    why

    cons:

    the fact that they didn't even bother to enhance and improve the graphics and the only thing they did is to add a color filter just shows how lazy they were i really wanted at least some graphics enhancement here and there

    game is still buggy as it was eight years ago and there are a good amount of performance issues

    the game it self is really clunky really weird 2012 voice overs and sounds again as i said it really feels like they didn't bother to do anything to better the game

    pros:
    the game does open this jar of nostalgia and it did put a smile on my face as i am a fan of the original game

    the gameplay is really fun and everything about this game from switching classes to combining them to crafting and everything else is just pure fun

    in conclusion i don't have a lot to say about the game because we are talking about a eight year old game so everything has been already said about it the game is really outdated for new comers so im guessing that they made this remaster for the OG fans although they didn't update the graphics or even better remake it it really is a fun throw back to more simpler times so my final score to this game is a 7 out of 10    … Expand

    My initial review for the original was a 10 out of 10, but since this has clearly aged graphically mechanically, I have to lower it for the remaster if you want to call it a remaster and not just a re-release, which is pretty much what it is. But I can't stress enough that this is still an extremely fun game that I hope everyone picks up, especially if you haven't played it in the past. The negative reviews that you see are usually from people who rated only as a remaster, but don't elaborate on how great the game actually is. Great story, combat and music combined make this a solid game in and of itself.

    In terms of gameplay in combat, this pretty much has even most modern-day RPGs beat. It's extremely fun and arcade-like and being able to pick and choose and even mix classes together very seamlessly make this a pretty great experience.

    Back in 2012 when this was first released, I felt that this was one of the best RPGs released, in my opinion of the game is still the same today. I really hope that this re-release is successful and that we get a sequel. The great news is that there is a new DLC coming out next year, which most reviewers failed to mention also.    … Expand

The new version has also tweaked and balanced game play, including much needed improvement to the loot and area level system. All the released DLC is included (including the Mass Effect inspired ‘Shepard’s Armour’). The game is still awesome and fun to play.

    It's a remaster. The same thing that was done here was done with darksiders 1 & 2. People need to realize that remasters will only look slightly as better as its original. The game is great as of now as it was back in 2012. With an expansion coming in 2021, fans of the game have something to look forward to.

    I played Skyrim right before I played Kingdoms of Amalur, and because of that, Amalur was cast in its shadow. Fast forward to 2020, and there's no hint of that shadow here, but the problems are.

Fast forward to 2020, and there's no hint of that shadow here, but the problems are.

    I'll get the most common gripes being thrown out first. Tying the X button to multiple functions is silly. Picking up items, running, talking to NPC's all connected to the X button is not smart developing back then; it could have been fixed. Run could be set to R3, for example.

    I am playing Amalur on a 4k HDR LG from this year, and even with all the graphical support coming from that TV (and ps4 pro), the game is muddy looking at times. The inclusion of better textures should have been a given with a remaster. Whatever they did, though, it wasn't enough.

    The loading screens are ridiculous. I know there are going to be loading screens; everything is a loading screen. I am getting ANTHEM flashbacks. I hope THQ Nordic comes back around in a future patch to streamline these a bit.

    Personal gripes:
    Voice acting and dialogue are tedious and grating at times. I forgot how much each NPC has to say about either current events, factions, races, locations. The menu breaking down every single thing that every NPC has to say gets real old, real quick. Apparently, every inhabitant of Amalur gets their rocks off being gossips! Not every NPC needed to have something to say. Half the time is just the same root thing being told by everyone else, but because the option exists to ask them about it, the compulsion to ask for the player rises.

    Combat, while fluid and has been, also has no weight or impact. The sound effects of connecting with attacks are muted or nonexistent, even fate mode. It would have been nice to hear those attacks connect with this remaster.

    Quest log and quest tracking, which worked in 2012, is woefully inadequate in 2020. Get ready to criss-cross the map and fast travel (and the LOADING!) all the time. An exact tracker/distance from the goal would have been appreciated in this remaster. Also, one visual tracked mission on the map, please.

    Storage and prices are awful for the early game and pointless at the late game. Stop gating content like this. Also, "fenced" items are a stupid mechanic that should have been removed. I mean, how in the world could any merchant know those peasant boots I stole in Gerhart are stolen in Sheildring Keep? Couple that with early game issues with space, and you're left with this silly balancing act with your bags.

    I love the fate system. I hate and always have how easily you can respec throughout the game. Money costs are pointless after a time. There should have been a different (and harder) way to change your fate. With that said:

    Magic is worthless of an option as it was in the first game. I tried early on and found the ranged to combat style to be boring. At least with the physical builds, you can have a mixed experience, but they're never dull. The game is obviously designed and optimized for physical combat, so why both even trying to use magic?* Until the end game when you've max out everything, playing magic makes you beyond overpowered. It's still boring.

    This is a minor point, and I hope should an Amalur 2 become a thing, but the narrative thru-line should be much, much clearer next time. I get the need to establish a whole new world, and it's people and beliefs, but you lose the plot almost as quickly as you start it. There is no urgency in Amalur, no sense of what you are beyond being unique, and no real timescale of what is coming or how quickly you must act.

    The quest system at large is probably responsible being much like an MMO, but the central story doesn't feel more significant or more urgent than, say perhaps, collecting some guy's bones and returning them to his family.

    I get the above is negative points, but others have already said the positives. I could easily see giving this an 8 if THQ Nordic cleans up the graphics a bit more and cuts the loading times down. It's worth owning and worth playing, and I hope the next batch of DLC supports a future for this series. I would play more of this.    … Expand

    The original Kingdoms of Amalur was one of my favourite games of the last generation. 38 Studios managed to create a world which, visually at least, was obviously inspired by the of World of Warcraft but at the same time combine it with personality and charm that just made you want to explore for hours on end.

    Fast-forward almost ten years later and, thanks to THQ Nordic prying the IP from the filthy clutches of EA, we have Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning. A title which when I first heard it I was thrown off by, but now having played the game I feel it suits it far more than was actually intended.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, whilst still a blast to play, offers little more than the original. THQ claim that the game now runs at a higher resolution and with more detailed textures. I can’t speak for the console versions of the game however I struggled to notice a difference when playing on PC. Both looked nearly identical, aside from some colour correction, and offered the same high and ultra-wide display options. Perhaps this is why the game is being offered at a discount of 50-60% off for the first few weeks of release.

    Aside from this Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is the same game that 38 Studios released in 2012. It’s bright, colourful, charming, funny and definitely worth a play if you haven’t already. Even at the current discounted rate though I can’t recommend purchasing Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning on PC if you own the original. It may be worth picking up in a future Steam Sale at 75-80% off, but until then the original will surely suffice.    … Expand

    Game completely broken at launch and missing all of the advertised new features.

    Patch finally comes 2 days later but will not apply the changes to an existing save.

    First of all, disregard the apologists yelling "This is a remaster, not a remake." We all KNOW it's a remaster. The problem is, this barely qualifies as a remaster, if at all.

The problem is, this barely qualifies as a remaster, if at all.

    I absolutely LOVED this game when it was released. It stands as one of my favorite games of all time. When I heard it was being remastered, I was overjoyed - but that was short lived. The first red flag was THQ's reluctance to show any gameplay until days before release. The second red flag was two mistakes in their released gameplay that the company had to apologize for. The third red flag was the comically bad pre-order "Statuette" that looked nothing like its packaging (including the basic color of the character).

    All of this pointed to a half-*ssed, low quality re-release - which was all but confirmed by looking at gameplay videos: The graphics are the same as the original. All they did was upscale it and crank the contrast to 11. There is literally no discernible difference between the PC version from 2012 and the PS4 version from 2020. And don't tell me that's an unfair comparison - the versions are EIGHT YEARS APART. A remaster with (as THQ said) "newly polished gameplay" should look better that a version that existed 8 years ago on ANY platform..

    On release day, the game was riddled with bugs, including a documented game-breaking one. Furthermore, xbox players (more than one third of the gaming community) couldn't play the game because the day one patch became a day 3 patch. Even so, the game is still a buggy mess with unacceptable load times for a so-called remaster of a game that ran on hardware from 2012.

    All of this would be forgiven if THQ simply called it a port and charged $19 for it. Instead, they had the gall to promote it as a remaster and charge $40 (!) - $54 for the collector's edition with the as-unyet-seen dlc that's purported to be released "sometime next year.". lol

    The original game is a blast and one of the best RPGs ever made, IMO. But charging $40 for a bug-riddled, load-time heavy upscaled port that 1/3 of gamers couldn't even play on release is a crime. Contrast this to the recent Saints Row 3 remaster - a game that ALSO used an open world and non-photorealistic graphics - and this is an embarrassment.

    if you feel comfortable spending $40 for a port, fine. I'd advise people to wait until it drops in 1-2 months to a more appropriate price. Spending full price on this only serves to enable software companies to take advantage of gamers for a quick buck. Don't be that guy/gal.    … Expand

    Remaster of an 8-year-old game that hardly brings any new features.
    New dlc will be added which comes in 2021, dlc of a then 9-year-old game. Of which no content is known other than its title. So no one knows what they are giving them money for. But it has been announced. To have a reason to create another version above standard for more money. The true incentive. Because, you know, 55 for a 2012 released, decent game with unspecified dlc and some minor tweaks is normal yes? Could've (and should've) included that in the already overpriced standard edition, but that would be a missed opportunity for these leeches.

    The game itself was decent back in 2012, although a bit soulless. This because the game world felt like it was supposed to be an mmo first, with it being vast, empty, and flat. Also many fetch quests.
    It definitely feels old now, especially for newcomers unfamiliar with the title. Hardcore fans will however be able to look past this.
    Combat felt pretty good, and still is decent now.
    This bad excuse of a "remaster" however, being full priced, with multiple editions that are even more expensive, is only attractive for the hardcore fans of the old, mostly same game. New players would be better off waiting for a sale, and/or til real dlc contents have been revealed. I do not expect much of this dlc, other than to attract buyers and having a reason to make another edition for more money. They should've just added this to the standard, already full priced game, but they did not. Missed opportunity there. The standard pricing would already have been high enough to include this dlc.

    At 30 or so this game + dlc would perhaps be a better starting price. But 55 minimum (depending om region) for an 8 year, when dlc is released 9 year old game? Dlc of which no specifics have been given?
    Only the most hardcore fans that want to play through the same of a slightly improved game again, should find this worth a buy. Newcomers and less hardcore fans would be better off waiting for a good sale, which will come way before dlc is even released.
    Right now, with pricing at moment of writing and unspecified dlc, for a last gen game that has clearly aged a good deal, this is a cashgrab. Half off is a worthy price.    … Expand

However while it aged not terribly more recent games have set the bar higher. Lets start with the story of the production. It was developed by 38 Studios founded by major league star Curt Schilling. It was their only project before bankruptcy (There are many stories circulating around that) and it was ambitious. They had R. A. Salvatore as writer (famous for the Drizzt novels), Todd McFarlane for the artwork (I think he is famous enough so no introduction) and Grant Kirkhope for the score (So many good scores in his career). It was amazing back then. While slightly missing to be a masterpiece it had an amazing battle system, a good story (Some expected a bit more from R. A. Salvatore so there are mixed opinions) and a unique character development system. The world of Amalur has interesting concepts. Fate is absolute and cant be avoided no matter what. There are even some with the ability of seers that can spot glances of the future (That does also make no difference). There are mortal and immortal races. Immortal means not that they cant die. Their essence is reborn and I will use the game term respawn for better comparison. Then Gadflow became leader of the immortal Tuatha Deohn and did the unthinkable and broke the cycle of fate for him / his supporters while declaring war to the rest of the world claiming that a new god is coming into existence. 10 years have past and the tide of war is slowly turning against the rest of the world. In a hidden complex there are made experiments to gain the ability to revive the dead as there is no chance in winning the war otherwise. Your hero is the only positive result and has a remarkable ability. He is no longer chained by fate and even more can cut the yarn of fates (He is called the Fateless). This is the start of the adventure. The story is really good and has a few good twist. Side quest are a bit mixed. I think 50-70% are good. The gameplay is however great. You can freely combine any kind of two weapons for your play-style. Some are faster than others and you can test many combinations. I prefer twin blades and bows (Very fast melee and fast range attacks). Bonus for magic Chakrams (Xenas weapon). The battle system overall is excellent and entertaining through most of the game. There is a fate meter that fills for fighting actions. If full you can activate a powerful mode where time slows and you can crush enemies with experience bonus if you have fast fingers (= repeatly triggering a random button). For character development: You have the standard warrior, thief and mage approach. However you can freely mix them. At level up you can use ability points to these roles. Then you can chose a fate. Depending on points spend you get additional bonuses. These are different for pure roles and mixed roles. Additionally you get some permanent fates by finishing series of quests for factions or trough progressing along the main story. There are also abilities for you to learn like lockpicking, persuasion, forging etc. You get 1 point per level and there is one skill-book and trainers in the world. I know this is today nothing special but was really innovative back then. The graphics and artworks were great for its time and aged relatively well. The soundtrack holds still up and there are many memorable tracks. The lore of the world is intersting and there are lore stones that give you small bonuses when you find all of a kind. Also all DLC was added and it was an enjoyable addition. There are however some negatives. The game crushed many times in the first few hours (Strangely later on I had no crashes anymore) and I cant enter the Cynric Quarry without crashing the game too. My main complaint is that the gameplay will get too repetitive far before you finish the game if you are like me and do many sidequests. I will not decrease my rating that far for newer games improving the formula (It cant compete with the Witcher 3 or other newer games). Overall this is an excellent game but it got a bit old. Still worthwhile but not as amazing as back then. Remark: I played it back then and must point out that nostalgia could influence my rating.… Expand

Gameplay was really fun because of how you could personalize combat style at each point in the game, so it doesn't bore you with the same mechanics. The story was also pretty solid and I was pretty invested in it. Another bad thing for me is that it drags out quite a while with too many side-quests and don't get me wrong, I like doing side quests, but too many can feel like a drag. Didn't like those never-ending tasks, being a completionist it sat there on my mind that I can't finish them and one last thing, too many and too long loading screens. Some quests make you go in and out of a location multiple times and each time the loading time is painfully long. But it is not a new-gen game and I believe if I were to play it when it originally released, I would've had even more fun than I already have. I believe if a sequel were to be released, it could be an amazing game. In conclusion, it's a nice game, but if you've played the first one, even if I didn't play it, I can't find a reason to play it now again, maybe if you're in quarantine and want something to pass the time faster.… Expand

    I'm not really writing the review on how it was remastered for the ps4/ps5, but just about the game and my initial impressions.

    I felt somewhat misled at first, because with this being on ps plus I was expecting I guess a game that was like closer to what you expect from an RPG/MMO for today, but when I started to play the game I realized this is definitely from around the ps3 era.

    I felt somewhat misled at first, because with this being on ps plus I was expecting I guess a game that was like closer to what you expect from an RPG/MMO for today, but when I started to play the game I realized this is definitely from around the ps3 era. Obviously this game is dated, but even with imagining when the game was originally released, it has some flaws that really prevent the game from being better. And you can instantly tell within the first few hours.

    First issue is that you have no connection to your character. Your character doesn't say anything, doesn't show emotion, and just looks disinterested when talking to other characters. Your choices don't really change anything and feels forced when you have to make a decision on how to proceed with a quest.

    The NPCs, their voice acting is really bland and don't get your attention at all. I've played the game for a few hours and not one character has wanted me to go through all of their dialogue options. A further issue is that ALMOST every character has WAY TOO MUCH dialogue. It's too much to comprehend and understand what is really going on in this setting and makes you just skip everything other than what's the quest so I can get the quest and decide if I want to complete it. NPCs talk about all these different places and characters and groups that it's just very hard to understand what they are even talking about or referring to because you don't know anything about the game or where you are at.

    Quests, This game just throws WAY too many quests at you right from the start after you complete the tutorial. It's a shame too because if it kept the fast pace of the tutorial, that part is actually really fun and you sense the urgency to continue. After that, there's just no urgency or drive to complete the main quests. It just puts you at the first village where's there just a bunch of random quests to do, If you go south then you run into another village with even more quests...and a lot of them just seem boring and don't feel rewarding to complete.

    The main issue is that when you just play the game for a few hours, you really get the sense that this is all that the game has to offer and just feels like a drawn out RPG, and from my understanding was supposed to be an MMO at some point, which would explain why the game feels so empty. and with this being a remaster sort of, you then realize how dated the game is.

    Overall, not a terrible game, but the game just feels like a chore to play and doesn't really give any sense of emotion. Most likely I'll just play this once in awhile for the combat and just to explore and complete a quest, then move on and do something else.

I play all the RPG's - the MMO's you name it - and I have to say the combat in this game is it's shining star - it's crown jewel - in fact the combat in this game is so good it might be some of the best I have played in any open world RPG like this. The world looks really cool and has this half-fable half-warcraft feel to it - great colors and ideas and overall it's just really well done. The lore is in my opinion a bit overwhelming. Every single sentence from every single NPC is loaded with names and history and lore and as a person who truly loves that stuff in these games I gotta admit it all got lost in the overwhelming mix. Where other games kinda slowly introduce you the lore and allow you to discover it - Amalur grabs you by the ankles and dips you head first into a rushing river of fantasy names and concepts and lets you sort it out later. I kind of just got used to the idea that I have no idea what or who anyone is talking about and just wanted to know who's ass I need to go kick and where they are. Final words - this game is huge , it's got lots to do and it plays really well. If this game had a 2020 look to it it would be one of the best RPG's out today. I really really hope that the devs on the next Elder Scrolls game takes note of how awesome the combat is in this game and how well it works for an open world RPG like this.… Expand

    A great remaster of the best “single-player MMORPG” ever. The original seemed to have everything it needed to shine, but some external factors (poor marketing, the closure of 38 Studios) robbed it of success. I’m happy to inform that the remastering was done expertly and this charming, fun, unpretentious game resembling Fable is still worth both its price and all the hours needed to complete it. I’m really happy I got this chance to revisit Amalur, and I want to believe that Re-Reckoning foreshadows the revival of the franchise that died prematurely years ago. [11/2020, p.48]

    Reasons for playing, then? Nostalgia. Appeasing all those ‘best RPGs you’ve never played’ listicles. And as a reminder of why character– new ideas and memorable places – is so important to a grand adventure. [Issue#181, p.86]

    If you’ve never played this game before, or if you want to dive back into it but don’t have access to an older copy, Re-Reckoning is easy to recommend- but only because the game itself is as good as it is. If you were hoping for an impressive visual upgrade, this isn’t it, and those who already have access to a copy of the original game should probably save their money.
