I liked the game very much. It's definently fun to play if you haven't yet.

The Fae aren't Amalur's version of elves. Those would be the Dokkalfar and the Ljosalfar, which are literally the Old Norse names for "dark elves" and "light elves", respectively. The Fae are, well, Fae. As in the fairies from old Anglo-Saxon and Celtic mythology. Meanwhile, the "Tuatha (Dé Danann)" are an Irish mythological god-folk. So much of Amalur's lore was taken from real-life mythology, and it goes to show the role they wanted the Fae to take in the universe.

I love this game, the DLC's ( all 3 of them), and arena content. Especially since the level cap was pushed to 50 :)

I finally got around to playing Amalur. It's a shame it didn't do better, and that I ignored it for so long. Playing PS4 version on a PS5, have had only a couple minor bugs. The visuals are beautiful though dated, and a bit hazy. It's amazing how huge this world is. The writing is at times fabulous; clever, and witty. When it's not being generic or hoaky that is. I started this playthrough as a mage, then Sword & Board, then Greatswords, now at level 26... I'm having a ton of fun with the Rogue's combat. Created a very powerful build. My original plan was to stun lock enemies with +150% Stun. However, nothing actually lives long enough to make it useful. Time to see how much crit damage I can stack. Stressed out from FROM? Throat sore from Shouting at Dragons? Amalur is a great chill RPG, I highly recommend it. You just have to accept what it is, and what it isn't.

The is the last rpg that gave me a sense of wonder. We have had nothing close since.

13:49 To explain this, the reason it shows how much you need to earn another level is because the Fatesworn expansion raises your level cap to 50 for the post game DLC. I can understand the confusion, though!

This was one of my first games I ever played, it's still in my top 10. Gave me whiplash seeing someone bring it up in 2023 haha

I'm having re-reckoning function issues the quests are not working right

This game is definitely a favorite of mine

I disagree about the travel times. Sure there's no reason to go into a dungeon before you get the quest for it, but that helps exploring everything since there will always be an npc pointing you towards an interesting area. Going with the flow of the quests will also pace travel better than running around the entire map to uncover all points of interest for fast travel. Also imo the world design in this game is pretty good. Not only do most areas of this game present a sub-biome distinct from the others, that also includes having their own themes and quests around the main thing in that area. I agree on the move sets though. It gets a bit repetitive, if you only use the same set of weapons and abilities for the entire playthrough. While you can of course switch things up and even re-spec easily, abandoning your chosen build halfway trough doesn't feel that great. Would have prefered a more complex move-set for each weapon. Things like heavy attacks, attacks in combination with blocking, button combinations with movement... would have likely required having 2 buttons for a weapon and then a switch button to get the other one out.

Definitly for me the best Rpg Fantasy game ❤

This game is my childhood man :)

I gotta say I played Oblivion, Skyrim, Dragon Age and Fable games and never found a new experience like those. Until I saw a recommened video of this game. Just bought it and played 8 hours in one day, a thing that now it doesnt tend to happen to me due to work and other stuff. The game is the perfect mix in a world like Fable with Oblivion like character with a Dragon Age II like gameplay in some aspects. Its awesome and people comparing it to Skyrim should understand you cant compare those cause they are different type of fantasy games. This is more comparable to Fable and Fable II wich is what comes in mind. Fable II for me is awesome but due to it being console exclusive saddens me so this is a go for me. Hope more people play this. Awesome video by the way

I'm going to respectfully disagree. Although I do understand your points and this is no skyrim by a long shot. For me I think the game is worth your time for a few dollars. For me the game is a 7 out of 10 I just beat it yesterday.

Played the original on launch on Playstation console, because Todd McFarlane and RA Salvatore and because why not? I liked it quite a bit because for me it was the single player World of Warcraft in a way that I played my WoW, which was mainly alone. The fighting system was close enough, at least for a rogue character which I played. Just now reliving my memories after having started the Re-Reckoning on Nintendo Switch. Gotta say it's a bit of a slog now at level 3-4 and me having forgotten most of what I ever knew. Will get better for sure once I get the hang of it. After Witcher 3 gameplay that I relived just before this the dodge and battle in general is a bit of a different thing. Just need to unlearn Witcher and relearn Amalur. Despite all its flaws I'd love to see Amalur 2 sometime in the future. As for the actual question posed at the end of the video I'd beg to disagree. Sure, it may feel old and dated, but I'd want to bring up two points: 1) With discounts on a bargain price, for sure get it, and 2) For old school grindy RPG fans it's not so bad. Kill, fetch, loot random stuff, repeat cycle is really at its best here. What really would have benefited this game would have been New Game+ mode or the current free roam mode after completing the base game with added challenges like for example Hades offers. Make enemies have double HP, make them do double damage, double the amount of enemies on each spawn point, that kind of stuff and allow players to challenge themselves by adding these difficulty modifiers. Maybe not something a first time player would appreciate but it would make the fans of the game spend more time with the game at least.

Thanks for your review

This is legit my fav game it was on sale for 10 bucks i played the original but i truly wanna beat this game this time around.

This games great, I was surprised it got a remake when it came out

My favorite seventh gen sword an sorcery action RPG even if I only pre-ordered it for the Mass Effect 3 demo. It sucks this never became a series.

I think it is a good game. We'll done to the creators. The should make a new game for Ps5. Also put a mode for 3 players. Co op from the start to finish. This game reminds me of D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) Forgotten Realms. I loved the four party adventure with the Smart Thieve - Assasin in front, then the Paladin - Cleric behind and the Wizard - Sorcerer with the Bard or Ranger at the end. Games where you can shape the world with your choices and actions are great. ⚔️⚡⚖️☀️🛡️

It wasnt that popular because of skyrim

There is a fundamental misunderstanding about "the Chosen one" here. This is an ancient concept, and throughout the ages, the "Chosen One" was tied to the strands of fate, almost the opposite of a free agent. Sometimes the tragic hero or heroine tied to the whims of fate or the gods' decree has the illusion of free and is even fighting their destiny but ultimately succumbs to what is pre-ordained. No one can escape their fate, the story goes, least of all the hero chosen BY FATE. The Greek and Norse mythology that video games often draw inspiration from - as does Kingdom of Amalur - have such stories aplenty. If you're looking for "players' choices matter" look _anywhere_ but here. Chosen does not mean choice, it means the very opposite: the choice was made for you, and you're stuck with it.

This game runs like a dream on my steamdeck.

I'm honestly impressed. I like to watch smaller channels, but the way you presented your thoughts and even were brutally honest at the end really made me appreciate this. It felt like watching a IGN review, except the reviewer wasn't being held back by the pressure of giving a good score. Good job, I hope your channel pops off at some point.

I still have the original game for ps3. Never finished it because the enemies even at beginner levels seemed overpowered. Got it for ps4 and finished the main quest on normal setting with relative ease. I think because I put my mind into it this time. One thing I forgot, that the game is thick with betrayal...How every other npc you help turn out to be lying, scheming scumbags. I would re-recommend the game to my friends.

This game was before the horse was common field in video games

Scusa il ritardo… Faccio premessa. Montare il video e avere un canale sono le uniche cose che non approfondisco e proponendosi alla concorrenza non cerco di farmi sostenere sfruttando il solo stile e impegno nel portare un contenuto montato ritagliato e incollato come nel tuo caso. Seconda premessa Quando i numeri riscattati non dimostrano il valore ecco pronta la sentenza velenosa di mia gentile e doverosa valutazione che devo comunicare. Sicuramente sono tristemente accolto da moltissimo tempo da casi simili o identici a quello di questo video. Il gioco ha 10 anni e non ha segreti e sebbene sia meraviglioso e provato non ha motivo di premiare quanti come anche qui facciano uso di incompetenza e mancanza di volontà di trovare un contenuto di livello. Sia chiaro non sei capace in questo e solamente qui di mostrare un sostegno che possa essere meritato. Non c’è arroganza. Io ho tutto quello che tanti altri molti anni prima hanno offerto e sfruttando la conoscenza cerco di far la sola cosa che serve. Conclusione: Se il mio è il solo o tra i pochi commenti negativi che hai ricevuto puoi sentirti libero di esprimere una risposta scritta che trova il senso limitato di farti avere le parole come il solo modo che puoi offrirmi. Servirebbero i fatti e la capacità di vivere tra chi con sincera abilità riconosce cosa sia onesto e vero. I fatti contano e fanno valere chi ha il dovuto successo che si ha dimostrato. Se metti il cuore potresti passare per gay ma non c’è bisogno. Non essere anonimo e scrivere non mi piace ha maggior risonanza se continuare a dimostrare incompetenza sia la strada che tanto cerchi di seguire. Impara a giocare e verrai premiato. Non è il mio caso. Chi risponde è inutile quanto chi con like e sostegno difenda questa merda. Coraggio ne avete e competenza non vi serve. Non la capisci o capite .

This game is so good.. I’m playing it on 360 now.. I never noticed it because skyrim stole the limelight.. I find this as a highly underrated game.

Yes and you can get max level legit in less than 35mins if starting the game

Play it every day

Its a ps3 release, and was very popular.. It ia buggy and broken, and wqs nevwr fixed. The controversy atema from the company closing, not from the game itself. You got SO much wrong

Playing it now i had to jump back in time

Bro you miss the final dlc for playstation 4

Buy it. Play it. Enjoy it. I did

What western fantasy RPG with similar features do you recommend playing instead? Would Fable be better?

I have it , it’s like a poor man’s Fable in my opinion. It’s a flawed 7/10 game 🤷‍♂️

A rather useless review in my book. I'm disagreeing with about 80% of everything you said. By the way there is an option for romance but not if one plays the game as a blind dwarf - or whatever you did. Sorry - lol... And if at least you had focused on explaining the small details which are different in the reworked version, but you missed that option too. Nope - that's a thumb down.

I rage quitted Kingdoms of Amalur after 30 hours of gameplay, because the main story is below mediocre, the side quests are very boring and the combat is too annoying (not hard, just annoying) When you take a hit, your character staggers and you can't do anything, until the animation ends. Until then, the other enemies will combo on you. It was too much for me, when I was in Klurikon, each 20 steps, new enemies would appear. I had to fight 5 Niskaru at the same time, and then a Thresh with lots of Boggarts, and then, 2 Threshes with lots of Boggarts The Threshes simply spam their attack, and then teleport. It was very annoying. I gave up on the game and even uninstalled it

I'd say just play the first release, but they removed that :)

This was my favorite game. I invested a significant amount of hours into it. I used to play it on my brother’s PS3 and one day I came home to a completely deleted file because he and my cousin wanted to Play Batman’s Arkham Origins 😡🥹😭🤧. Fast forward 10+ years, I repurchased it for my NS and I was hesitant to play it due to the traumatization of having invested all those hours and it being erased in a matter of seconds without remorse. I finally started playing last night and needless to say I didn’t sleep 😂. Nostalgia is real and it feels so good.

You're one of those people? Its an older game, it sounds like you're just skimming the game and bitching.

So all the original DLC are in RR? No one seems to talk about that

No.
