"The development of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a bit of a sad story, really. Made by Big Huge Games and 38 Studios, and released in 2012 by EA, it was met by higher than average reviews but a very luke-warm customer base, finally selling only 1.2million copies. This was a devastating blow to 38 Studios who needed it to sell 3million copies just to break even, and one that it would never recover from."
Do you remember the good old days, when video games put fast hack-and-slashing combat sequences and extensive levelling systems first and a deep narrative with memorable characters second? BigHuge Games certainly banked on gamers holding some kind of nostalgia for those titles of yore with their fantasy RPG Kingdoms Of Amalur: Reckoning.
This is hilarious that i would see an article after I went and re-bought the game and playing it all week! I love the QTEs in this game its satisfying, the combat is fluid where you can switch from weapons to magic so easily, the weapons, armor, quests, character customizations, lore, world, voice acting, are all great this game has almost everything you'd need and want from an RPG!
I really wish there was going to be a KoAR 2!
COG writes - The games of the last generation were amazing and the COGconnected team decided to get together to countdown their favorites. The countdown inches to number 6 and the games are starting to get good... real good.
The journey comes to an end.
Would LOVE to see a sequel to this brilliant game. Wouldn't mind a remake for current gen systems either.
Last I heard this studio went out of business so I would think a remaster is pretty unlikely.
I think EA owns the rights to it now. I loved the game as well. A rare gem overlooked.
Went into a cave for a mission...Mission glitches and I can't start the mission or exit the cave...Auto save and manual saves are within the cave....I messed up so bad I quit. Really good game though.
such a great game, shame about the studio.
to produce something of that quality as their first title, just imagine what they could have done with more experience.
Amazing game. I highly recommend it to just about anyone, because it is an RPG that is both deep and accessible with incredibly fun gameplay.
Liked it, but thought the combat was too easy\repetitive.
The only thing this game is/was missing is a Shared Chest/Stash. Great game but I hated how random the loot was and how hard that made it to make complete sets. Petty, I know. Still loved the game!
I have yet to play it, downloaded it off PS Plus.
Ps Plus is the only reason I playes this game... Its not bad
