Gaming Retrospective - Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Kingdoms of Amalur is one of the largest RPG's ever made, in order to fully explore the game you will need to spend more than 200h playing it. Game was released in 2011 and developed by Big Huge Games. Game is set in a fantasy world of Amalur where our hero wakes up in a pile of corpses and discovers that he has the power to change the fate. The Fateless one can change the fates of other people with special set of abilities only he possesses. He can slow time and get into Reconing mode where he can execute his enemies and get more XP.

Combat is this game's main speciality, it is very fluid and dynamic. With the fate system some scenes look like they came from Mortal Kombat games even though this is RPG. You can chose four different races and three classes like Fighter, Rogue and Mage with many sets of skills and abilities. Crafting system is very robust and you could of craft many item types like armors, weapons, or brew potions. Some side quests and faction quests are not as interesting as the main story and you can skip those, they can be fun if you get hooked for the game though. Kingdoms of Amalur is very feature rich game worth exploring for any fan of fantasy role playing games.
