Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning

It's extremely funny that this game bankrupted the state of Rhode Island, but it's... fine. It's fine. There is no idea in it that has not been done better somewhere else, but it's fun, sure. It has the strangest MMO-like vibe to it, though, which is weird?

TLDR: A game that tries too hard to be grandiose and misses the mark on basic things, such as keeping a player interested with narrative or making inventories easy to manage. While it may appeal to some as it is a rather easy game and has an aesthetic that some may like, the game remains very stale, doesn't captivate with either combat or story. The majority of the sound is also a major gripe for me, even though the voice overs are alright. The game feels like a mix between the starting area of the Night Elves in Vanilla WoW and Fable. There, I said it. But I just HAD to finish it. Being stubborn isn't a quality people, it's borderline masochism. Story: Brought back from the dead by a scientist named Hughes with the Well of Souls and now bound to no fate, discover and shape the world that is currently at war against the Tuatha, an army where its soldiers just keep getting back up. There are several races and otherwordly beings, though the gist of it is rather simple; one side keeps getting back up and the other's not. It makes it rather hard to win for the side that doesn't get back up. But hey, YOU just got back up, maybe you can change things, right? Gameplay: While this game was praised for its fluid mechanics, I don't really see why. It has poor hitboxes, odd combo timing (if you consider the enemies attack speed) and clunky cast times. For a game that tries to feel like an open world RPG I suppose you could consider the combat acceptable. There are several weapons to choose from, each with their own unlockable combos, however those don't really matter as much as one would think as finishing a combo leaves you open, so the best route is often to start a combo, switch weapon, start another, switch back, start another... etc. There are 3 talent trees, which is a very nice touch. However you won't have enough points to fill everything up. So while it is important to experiment, it's also important to not just throw points around willy nilly. You can pay a small sum to reallocate all your points, so it's never a big issue. Just remember that some gear requires a certain proficiency in a specific tree, lest you wanna try a new build naked. Investing points in one tree eventually unlocks you different spells, abilities, moves, passives buffs and even some sustainable status, depending on where you invest them. Some are absolutely worthless however. Depending on the amount of points you have in each talent tree, you can unlock different ''fates'', which grant you bonus DMG on specific type damage, resistances, or even change your roll to a blink. It's basically like choosing a class depending on your current stats. 99% of the gear you'll find will be completely useless. There are plenty of quests (literally over 240 by my count) to complete, but 90% of them are fetch quests and are very boring. Not to mention NPCs can sometimes bug out. The inventory system isn't the best as it is a dropdown menu. Since you constantly have new gear to check up on, it's essential to learn how to sort it out as you loot. There are several locations to go to during this adventure, but they sadly mostly all feel the same. Maybe apart from 2 ''islands''. Each level up grants you 1 skill point, that point can be spent in blacksmithing, detect hidden, mercantile, stealth, etc. Each of these has a small impact on how you can approach specific scenarios. Picking locks might be easier, sneaking around too, etc. Graphics: There are a couple of instances where the game looks decent, back in 2012 that is, but now the vast majority of the time the game simply doesn't hold up to the test of time. Audio: Probably the worst aspect of the game. SFX are simply terrible. When your weapon makes contact with an enemy, there is a kind of squish that can be heard, and it's terrible, and it'll never, ever, not do it. There's a kind of grappling hook that you can use to bring enemies to you and it sounds like a child's cartoon sound effect, crits sound like glass shattering, when applying poison it sounds like you dropped a steak in a pan and it's searing. It just seems like every sound effect is wrong. Maybe it's just me, but I simply had to stop playing every now and again because I was gonna punch myself in the face. Playing on Very Hard also offers no achievment, so just beat it on hard. For its pricepoint and length, you're better off playing The WItcher 3 or Skyrim, they're exactly the same price and aren't gobshite. This game was an absolute drag to beat. I started hating it after around 10 hours and this proves how much of a stubborn mule I am. I just ''had to finish it''. Now I'm gonna go play ♥♥♥♥♥♥' rock simulator and have a blast.

游戏存在一定数量会导致任务无法完成的Bug，有存档且进度正确的情况下可读档解决，本人因存档跨度较大无法通过读档解决问题导致主线和多项支线无法完成，80小时存档直接坏档报废，不愧是Bug王国。

its fun. its better than these AAA games

淹没在时代洪流中的好游戏，战斗系统放到现在的RPG中依旧是优秀的，游戏的系统也可以看出有网游的影子，不知道还能不能出2代
