This game is currently in the Humble Choice for November 2022, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before December 6th, 2022, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A remaster of a classic style RPG.
Kingdom of Amalur was released in 2012, three months after Skyrim, which is probably a big reason why it didn’t take off. But that also should put players in mind of what they will see here. This is a remaster of that old game that looks and plays well. There’s a heavy influence from MMOs of the time as well as some work from Todd Mcfarlane and an attempt at world-building for a franchise that well… This is the only game from that studio, so clearly it didn’t work out.
With this being a remaster, this is gameplay from over ten years ago, though there are not many RPGs done in this style anymore, so there is still a place for it. The story is well told, but it’s a generic fantasy as well. It’s more of a quantity than quality for the story, and while it came out at the same time as Skyrim, well Bethesda was already a force to be reckoned with, so realize this was always going to be a weaker quality.
Pick this up if you like fantasy RPGs. I actually own and beat the original release earning every achievement, and I’m even considered picking this up again because I enjoyed the original game and wouldn’t mind checking it out again.
