Kingdoms of Amalur Review

Posted 8 February 2012 by Paul Younger

After playing the demo I was in two minds about KoA but it seems to have charmed reviewers. Nick on IncGamers.com posted his review of the game yesterday showering the RPG with praise.

I hate Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Not only has it drawn my attention away from a certain Bethesda RPG, it raises a number of significant questions. Why must an expansive world immediately mean simplistic and dull combat? What happens when voice-acting overcomes a monotonous droning? Why does Cher Lloyd even exist?

After spending a whole lot of time trying to work out the answer to such riddles, I came to a definite answer: Reckoning is the antidote to those who have reached burnout with Skyrim.
