Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning review: A tempting fate

Feb 7th 2012 4:11PM (Joystiq)
@rajendra82 - I never said anything about the difficultly, you did. I was referring to the combat, loose controls, map, generic quests, and general handing holding for the reasons it feeling like a general audience game and was off-putting to me. Darks Souls has rich and outstanding combat system and after playing a game with mechanics like that, I guess it spoiled me. I probably would have love KoA:R had not Dark Souls came along a raised the bar.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning review: A tempting fate

I played "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" demo and after playing "Dark Souls" it made KoA:R play like it was made for kids/casuals. I found the on-screen map to be off-putting, insulting even. The controls feel too loose to me and I wasn't a fan of the generic characters or generic quests. I was impressed with the production values and polish in KoA:R. I've been trying to understand what makes me love one game and repulsed by the other, especially when both games share so many simliar elements. I think KoA:R might be a good fit for those who like Fable, but are looking for something with a bit more meat of it. If these great reviews keep coming in, I will have to take another look at KoA:R.

If anyone but Hironobu Sakaguchi made this game, I would have trashed them for calling it "The Last Story".
