User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
This review is based on 100% completion and 89.5 hours of gameplay. Recommendation: Would I recommend this game? Absolutely. It’s a thoroughly enjoyable old-school RPG. Sure, it has its faults and you can definitely feel its age, but the classic experience it delivers more than makes up for that. The pros definitely outweigh the cons here. If you’ve enjoyed classic RPGs like Dragon Age, KOTOR, Fallout, or Oblivion , there’s a very good chance you’ll enjoy your time with this game too. The game is massive — the base game map is huge, and each bit of additional content adds even more areas to explore. There are heaps of quests and tasks that’ll keep you busy. While they mostly fall into familiar categories like exploring, killing, and collecting, each quest is done in a way that keeps things feeling pretty fresh and engaging. There's also a mountain of lore to dig into if you're into that sort of thing — and even if you're not, the gameplay on its own still holds up quite well. Gameplay-wise, I found it enjoyable overall. It’s definitely a bit clunky and sometimes unintuitive, but it’s generally solid. All the mechanics feel like they’re from the era the game originally came out in, so it can feel dated, but it’s still fun. You’ve got a decent range of weapons, skills, and abilities that let you play your own way. The game loosely follows the classic RPG archetypes of warrior, mage, or rogue — but you’re free to mix and match however you like. There’s loads of gear with different stats and bonuses that add even more room for customisation. You can also respec if you want to try something different, just keep in mind that it gets more expensive each time — though gold is pretty plentiful, so it’s not too much of a problem. The story is really well done. I genuinely enjoyed it — from the main questline in the base game through to the side quests and all the DLC content. It’s all interesting and well-written, and there’s a ton to sink your teeth into. The sound design and music are also solid — I only had a couple of small issues, like the music cutting out abruptly every now and then, but nothing major. Overall, the narrative and audio are both handled really well. Visually, the game is definitely on the more dated side — even with it being a remaster. That said, it still looks decent for what it is. The armour, environments, and enemy designs are all nicely done — just don’t expect anything mind-blowing. It looks good, but in a retro way. Now, onto the bugs — and yes, there are quite a few. Some are minor, but others can be more serious, like ones that lock you out of quests or require you to reload an earlier save. Personally, I followed a guide that pointed out some of the known bugs as I went, and I only ran into one major issue where I got stuck behind a door after a cutscene I wasn’t meant to be near. To be safe, I’d definitely recommend saving often — especially before starting quests. That way, you’ve got a backup if something goes wrong. But again, in nearly 90 hours of gameplay, I only had one real issue, so it's not unplayable by any means. All in all, this is a solid pick if you’re looking for an RPG with that classic old-school feel. There’s a tonne of content to get through and, for the most part, it’s really well made. I think the base game is worth its price, but I’d definitely recommend picking up the Fatesworn DLC too — so the bundle is your best bet. And since it’s an older title, it does go on sale quite often, so if you can, I’d say wait for a good discount and grab it then. Achievements: You’ll need the DLC for 100% completion. There are some missable achievements and a few bugs that can prevent certain ones from unlocking, so I’d definitely recommend following a guide. There’s a fantastic guide by “Allgorhythm” on TrueAchievements that I followed and would highly recommend if you’re aiming for full completion. It walks you through everything in a really straightforward way and helps you avoid potential pitfalls with bugged achievements. You can check that guide out [url= https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Kingdoms-of-Amalur-Re-Reckoning/walkthrough] here. Most of the achievements are tied to story progression, completing quests, hitting certain milestones, or playing on specific difficulty settings. There are also some tied to finding all the lore stones, completing faction questlines, and making certain choices in the game — so it’s definitely worth reading ahead a little if you want to make sure you don’t miss anything. There are also a handful of achievements related to gameplay mechanics, like using specific abilities, crafting, or reaching high skill levels in certain trees. A few of these can be a bit grindy, especially near the end, so again — having a guide to help plan things out really makes the whole process a lot smoother. The Fatesworn DLC adds its own set of achievements, which follow a similar pattern — story progression, collecting new items, and completing the new content. These are fairly straightforward if you’re already committed to going for 100%, and they blend well into the base game’s systems. One thing to keep in mind: due to the bugs I mentioned earlier, there’s a small chance that some achievements might not trigger properly even if you’ve met the requirements. This isn’t super common, but it’s still frustrating when it happens. Making regular manual saves and backing them up can really help avoid losing progress or needing to replay long sections. All in all, if you're into achievement hunting, this is a fairly easy completion — not super difficult, but it does require some time, planning, and a bit of patience. The guide mentioned above makes the whole thing much more doable, especially if you want to get it all done in a single playthrough.

its like if fable and skyrim had a baby. i played it on the 360 when it first came out and have repurchased it again and again. switch, steam, playstation. its legit my favourite game ever. its graphics are charming and surprisingly well done for its release date. the scenery is stunning. charming characters. good weapon and magic systems. mix and match for combat styles. i honestly think the only reason its not a more well known game is because it released at the same time as skyrim and got buried by it and unlike skyrim it didnt get relesed 1000 times to stay relevant. if you like skyrim or fable give it a go, i doubt youll regret it.

Okay.... A few things to say here. I have started and stopped playing the original version of this game a few times, and then did the same with Re-Reckoning a couple more times, but got distracted every time and stopped. After talking with my son about the game recently, I decided to throw myself into it 100% and play it through. And i did. The whole base game, and it was great. I really really enjoyed it. The first DLC, Legend of Dead Kel was okay... It got really into the whole Task thing with a vengeance, but yes, I finished the main story and most of the rest of the content. Then came Teeth of Naros. That one I actually really enjoyed. So my hopes were high for Fatesworn. Understand, of course. I had deliberately NOT read any reviews on the subject. I should have read reviews. It's basically almost a game itself, or maybe a copy of one? A certain Elder Scrolls one. With gates. You know, portals? You have to close? yeah.... I got really tired of all the repetition, and today, decided I am taking a break from the game for a while. There's nothing WRONG with the DLC at all, but it does feel like a game all to itself. Maybe, after a break for a bit, I'll go back and finish it. Maybe. But for now, I say, definitely play the base game. it's still good, even after all these years. And play the DLC at your leisure, knowing that last one is basically a sequel. In other words, plan to take a break in between. :D

Ellen was right. Good game. Very similar to Reckoning, but the visual clarity and DLC make this the better purchase. Everyone needs to play this, if only to hear the horrible attempts at Scottish and Ainmhi the wolf-man.

Do you yearn for simpler times? A fantasy romp through a beautiful world free from battle-passes and daily quests? Design by Todd McFarlane and story written by R.A Salvatore, this game is like if Skyrim and Fable had a child but then they abandoned it and it was raised by World of Warcraft. Oh also Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance is like the weird uncle that shows up and tells it Dungeons and Dragons bedtime stories whenever Dr. Darksiders needs to stop by and give it a checkup. This game is everything you have been doom scrolling looking for. The entire god damn thing is voice acted by some absolute legends. Combat feels great, itemization is interesting and progression slaps. The quests are fantastic and feel fresh as hell. The world design is really great. Even the character models are awesome. They are very stylized and well animated. Even random townspeople NPCs have mouth animations that actually match the (fully voice acted) dialog. There are fully animated in-engine cutscenes that absolutely slap. Little details like these feel really refreshing in the modern gaming hellscape of cut corners and hand drawn non animated cutscenes of the post 2020's. This really feels like a game made in 2012, and I mean that with the highest praise. It's just modern enough that you don't get lost or bored playing and has just enough difficulty on normal that I can imagine playing this for hundreds of hours on higher difficulties with different builds. Really truly getting the feeling like when I played Skyrim for the first time back in 2011. The story is really good so far. Playtime is something like 25 hours if you rush the main questline (don't do that) but around 100 for full completion. The way I play games, Ill squeeze a few hundred hours out of this reading all the books in game and diving deep into the lore. It's totally worth the full price they are asking, but it goes on sale frequently so follow it and wishlist it and snag it on sale with all the DLC for under 15 usd. Yeah this game slaps.
