<\/a>Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning<\/p><\/div>\n
Here is what some international publications have had to say about the game so far:<\/p>\n
Joystiq<\/strong> 5\/5<\/h3>\nKingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning presents a world that is immaculately crafted and beautiful, yet still simple and accessible. Every corner reveals a person in need, a treasure to collect, a secret to uncover, a battle to wage. I don’t know how much more time I’ll spend in Amalur (dozens? hundreds?), but I plan on savoring every minute.\u00a0 Read more<\/a><\/p>\nIGN<\/strong> 9\/10<\/h3>\nNo matter what you’re looking for, whether it be amazing gameplay, immersive storytelling or perhaps a riveting new world to explore as you fully customize and re-customize your character at will, Reckoning has it all. Read more <\/a><\/p>\n1UP<\/strong> B+<\/h3>\nOccasionally, Reckoning plays it too safe. As good as the combat is, it cannot make fights against giant rats any more interesting. Crime follows the Fable route of, “if you disappear and come back later, all is forgiven.” Reckoning teases with consequences, but either doesn’t follow through or does so in wacky ways.\u00a0 Read more<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Kingdoms](\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kingdoms_of_Amalur_Reckoning_Screen_12_953213695.jpg\" "\\"Kingdoms")

Gametrailers<\/strong> 82\/100<\/h3>\nThough it leans a little too heavily on well-trod genre conventions, there’s no denying that Reckoning has a whole lot to offer in terms of sheer breadth. Similarly, though the challenge tapers off dramatically toward the end, its combat is welcoming, gratifying, and hypnotic. Read more <\/a><\/p>\nEurogamer<\/strong> 8\/10<\/h3>\nDoes all the boring, difficult parts of RPG game design very well, and marries them to exceptionally slick combat and a towering stack of stuff to do. This well-oiled machine keeps you motoring through all the sludgy fantasy clich\u00e9 and through a sluggish first act. Then – just as the world opens out and the story picks up traction – that motor really starts to sing. That’s when a solid, workmanlike game becomes one that’s virtually impossible to put down. Read more <\/a><\/p>\nDestructoid<\/strong> 8\/10<\/h3>\nIt’s an honest, undiluted acknowledgement of what Western RPGs are all about, and I can respect that. Rather than try to be too deep or too meaningful, Reckoning simply presents players with a direct feed into the vein of empowerment and expects you to gorge until you’re bursting. While the combat can often undermine that feeling of acquired strength, there’s still enough rousing success to be had that keeps one returning for more.

Game Informer<\/strong> 8\/10<\/h3>\nDespite its problems, Reckoning is a good game with a lot of stuff worth checking out. But even with all of the talent backing it, it’s just on the edge of being something much greater than it is. For a game that’s all about breaking out of the confines of fate, it’s a shame that so much of the content feels stuck within such narrow conventions.\u00a0 Read more <\/a><\/p>\nGamespot<\/strong> 7.5\/10<\/h3>\nKingdoms of Amalur’s combat and character advancement are fantastic enough to overshadow how bland everything else is.
