Some note the remaster is mostly a graphical update with few changes, and some bugs remain. [1][2][3] A minority find the game bland, repetitive, or lacking impact, especially in later hours. [4][5][6]

tl;dr: Original game had an amazing premise, but this "remaster" is objectively awful. 5/10. This is another one of those games where I wish Steam had a "Neutral" option, but as it is now, I can't recommend Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning in good conscience. To preface, I've played the original Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning about 3-4 times and am currently halfway through my second playthrough of this "remaster". I …

Kingdoms of Amalur is a generally enjoyable middle era RPG with some notable drawbacks. It should be noted that Re-Reckoning is mostly a graphical update with the addition of a final DLC to wrap up the storyline of Amalur. The game was originally from the early 2010s and started as a MMO project, morphing into a single player RPG. Positives - If you like lore, there's a lot of it. - The concept behind the setting is …

DAMMIT. I was so ready to be smug about it, but... Ellen was right. This stupid game is awesome. RIP my free time. Extended Review: Weeks after I posted my original review, I'm still playing this game and enjoying it. Which is... unusual for me. I usually lose interest after 100 hours or so. I couldn't even finish Baldur's Gate III because I got bored at the point where you reach the city. But, somehow, this one has …

Started playing this at 11pm and next thing I know it's 10am in the morning. This game is incredible and if not for poor timing during its initial release around Skyrim's in 2011, it would be hallmark fantasy RPG for sure. KoA:RR feels like a mixture of World of Warcraft and Skyrim in all the best ways. Think of it as if third-person Skyrim, with far better combat, had a baby with a singleplayer, offline MMORPG. I …

This is a tough one, but I am going to give this a positive review because this game did a lot of things right and they took some risks but it also has many problems. ♥♥♥♥ that sucks: -No jumping/z-axis. There technically is jumping, but it's scripted. -No mount. You are running everywhere, but there is sprint. -Animation locking in combat. -Severe FPS drops for inexplicable reasons. -Unpatched quest bugs from the …

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning sits at 83% positive across 236 opinionated reactions from 4 sources. Fresh or rotten — where do you land?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Over its first two months on sale, Reckoning sold over 400,000 copies not counting digital sales, a figure referred to by NPD Group as impressive. In the United Kingdom during its first week, the game reached the top of sales charts, surpassing the previous lead Final Fantasy XIII-2. By July 2012, the game had sold 1.3 million copies worldwide; this surpassed Electronic Arts' sales projections, and was highlighted a contributor to the company's profits in the first half of 2012. Despite this, it underperformed for 38 Studios, which had needed over two million copies in sales to turn a profit. Revenue went almost entirely towards repaying Electronic Arts's loan to the developer, and negative…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →every few years I reinstall Kingdoms of Amalur: Rekoning and go, "Dang, this game rules" and then remember it's also like, six times bigger than it should be because it started out as an MMORPG, and it'd genuinely be vastly improved if they released a DLC that shrank all the maps and cut most quests
neutral · AI labelView post →Hell yeah. The game I keep coming back to as I play this is Kingdoms of Amalur—another pedal to the floor action fantasy game with great combat and a colourful world. The small studio feel of Eternal Strands really feels like a product of love. Plus, I get Hades vibes from the cast and dialogue.
neutral · AI labelView post →Kingdoms of Amalur can be summarized as Fable tried to be an MMO developed by former Morrowind leads with lore written by R. A. Salvatore himself. Though its misfortune came from releasing just 3 months after Skyrim which resulted in the game never received the attention it truly deserved, myself included. I couldn't get past more than 2 hours of gameplay after having kept myself busy with Skyrim like everyone else which at the time seemed like the superior experience. 13 years later with no…

positive · AI labelView post →Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning Had all the individual makings of an exceptional game (with input from Todd Macfarlane, R A Salvatore and Grant Kirkhope), and while it was definitely enjoyable enough - it lacked any wow-factor whatsoever, winding up an otherwise forgettable 7/10.

neutral · AI labelView post →Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is, in my opinion, an absolute peak RPG experience and one that holds a special place for me personally. It was a childhood game I used to play with my grandfather, and revisiting it through Re-Reckoning felt less like replaying a game and more like stepping back into a memory. What makes Amalur stand out immediately is its depth. The world feels massive without being overwhelming, filled with regions that each carry their own identity, factions, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning, do you remember the original one?. Seems to be the remaster of a PS3 / Xbox 360 title. The name rings a bell, but I never played it. Some context on the remaster (not mine) > For those who never heard of the game, it's a remaster(?) of an old PS3 Action RPG that apparently had a real rocky development. And you're absolutely gonna notice some rough areas with quests that don't really resolve, story wise, or choices that seem big having few(if any)…

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Fatesworn DLC for PS4 played on PS5. Played this game to 100% on PS3 originally. Was fun to play it again completely, and then get a bit more story beyond the original release with this DLC.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdoms of Amalur is the comfort food of RPGs Before getting into it, the use of the "Ramping Speed" mod is HEAVILY RECOMMENDED. This is an enormous game with vast amounts of backtracking. This mod remedies that. I've tried getting into this game a couple of times before but the remaster just about sealed the deal with its extended camera controls. The beautiful world you explore, the timeless WoW aesthetic, the somewhat shallow but fun combat system, the simplicity of the quest system…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm playing this for the first time in 2026 and I'm loving it! My favourite games are the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series. This has a bit of Dragon Age for the magic and realms. However, you don't have any companion characters. There are a couple of recurring characters but they don't join you. And I don't think you have conversational choices that matter. I've been doing all the side quests and they're a lot of fun. The combat is fun. I'm impressed that while there are quite a few…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was way ahead of its time. A rare gem now. Classic beautiful fantasy open world RPG with fun combat, a unique class system and 100s of hours of content. Something that feels ancient in the year 2026. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed coming back to this game after so many years. It's a bitter sweet feeling because you might never find a game like this ever again. 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the overshadowed sibling of Skyrim. It had the unfortunate timing of coming out the same year as TESV. This game is amazing, a lot of fun, and similar to Skyrim, but different enough to make it worth playing. Story rich, fun combat mechanics, and flexibility in play style.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if you're familiar with a game called "Fable" it is a lot like that. If you are familiar with D&D, R.A. Salvatore (the Drizzt Do'Urden saga) was the head writer on this game. It is a great game, and expansive, what i would consider a huge open world. There have been a lot less stable and more buggy games from bigger AAA game studios, this one has always been bug-free for me. the only real downside is that this game is still full price despite it's age
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first few hours are truly fantastic. Great world, engaging combat, fantastic abilities and spells, and much to discover. In the last 15 hours, however, absolutely nothing new has happened. I use the exact same abilities, I loot the same items, which are almost never better than my current gear. Everything is the same. It feels so boring. Combat bugs are extremely annoying. For some reason, ranged attacks and spells miss enemies all the time, especially when fighting at a slightly…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was a fantastic game to play through, with decent combat and fun skills and abilities. I played through the whole game on hard as a mage, and it was rough, but just a few potions, and even the final DLC fight was nothing unsquashed flesh in my path. 9/10 - I am the breaker of fate.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdoms of Amalur has very fun, very flashy combat. The rest of the game is really *ehhh*, but if you just want to blast magic and have cool skills then it's a great choice.
neutral · AI labelView post →I de-backlogged this because Ellen (Outside Xtra) says she is "right" about KofA. and urges everyone to give it a try. So far, it is living up to he accolade. It is nice and relaxing to step back in time and pick up an older style game. This one has loads of charm and I can't wait to see where it takes me, I picked the finesse archetype. I am also playing Crimson Desert right now and this game is a welcome rest from that one for sure :)

neutral · AI labelView post →First off - despite the fact I wouldn't recommend Kingdoms of Amalur, I don't think it's a terrible game and I can see why it would appeal to certain players. I'm a fan of the visual style and I think that is derived from my nostalgia from playing World of Warcraft a lot when I was younger and how KoA reminds me of it in terms of aesthetics. At face-value, the character build system is pretty interesting, giving you a variety of character skill progression of which you can alter whenever you'd…

The combat, exploration, skill/talent trees, story, quests, npcs, voice acting are all fine, but nothing you have not seen before. Visually, pretty but dated. The difficulty is non-existant, the inventory clutter is insane and 90% of your choices dont affect the world. You can swim, but you can't jump... at least you dont have a stamina bar. This game is now my new minimum standard for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kingdoms of Amalur has some of the strongest fantasy vibes I have experienced outside of World of Warcraft. The forests feel dense and overgrown, with enormous trees towering above you. The wastelands are not actually that large, but the rock formations and distant views make them feel much bigger. Its villages and cities also capture that medieval-fantasy atmosphere very well. I played on casual difficulty and focused only on the main quest. I realised quite early that if I tried to…

For years I've been looking for a game that's like a single player MMO and here it is (no, Kingdoms of Amalur is not the answer, sorry internet). No surprise I guess to find that in an MMO that was turned into a single player/co-op game after their publisher ditched them (Digital Extremes). The combat is fun. There's lots to grind for - weapons, armor, accessories, echoes, cosmetics, mounts,…
neutral · AI labelView post →KOA: Re-Reckoning is a solid western RPG, but it's not without its flaws. The most noticeable flaw is the graphics. They still look like they're from the X360/PS3 era (because it is x360/ps3 game). Not all players will appreciate those graphics today. But if you can compromise those flaws, KOA: Re-Reckoning offers a lot of content, a good story, and addictive gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review for Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Having played both the original Kingdoms of Amalur and Re-Reckoning, this feels more like a respectful remaster than a true remake. Re-Reckoning stays very faithful to the original experience. The fast, fluid combat is still the strongest part of the game and remains fun even by modern standards. Visuals are sharper, lighting is improved, and performance is more stable overall, especially on modern systems. Small quality-of-life changes help, but…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Heheheh. Yes, Papi. Game is "Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning" if anyone is interested.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a shame this game doesn't have a more coherent balance between the excellent world building/lore, the weak RPG elements, and the quickly boring hack and slash combat. Exploration and the non-primary quests feel about as impactful as an MMO's (not very). The game throws way too much equipment and items at you, making for short boring gameplay loops with very little sense of accomplishment or reward. There just isn't enough of a hook to make me want to play.

First of, the camera is just horrendous during fights. It keeps zooming around randomly with any real reason.
