Kingdom Of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - 45GB

I owned this for PS3, god knows how many times I restarted the story in that version, so my ADHD has nothing to do with this one not being a very long run...

First thing I noticed was sound issues, opening cut-scene (and what I gather on the boards, all cut-scenes) was entirely mute until a certain point.

My next sad realization was that the camera actually became worse on the PC port, even with options to change it...not to the degree of unplayable, but it moves too fast side to side compared to the console, I tweaked it enough to deal with it.

To my dismay I realized next that the breadcrumbs in my cracker barrel pasta had gone stale 🤷‍♂️ such is life.

That actually sums up the bad shit 😲

Onto the good stuff...

The DLC armor in this version actually shows up heh...shepherd's armor equipped, shield of truth, flaming chakram and flaming staff for now since thats my preferred element in this game and also my perk for my character race (intentionally) along with lock picking (you do ALOT of that in this game)

This also earned me the achievement "Streaker" since I wanted to dump all my gear before raiding the DLC chest and sell it :ROFLMAO:

After playing the excruciatingly long tutorial and getting used to the fast spinning camera I don't see much difference from the console port really, "slightly" improved graphics, a save game location that moved like 4 times since release costing me my previous saves 😒 and some minor tweaks to RNG (in a bad way IMO), nothing much else seems different.

So if you've played it before like I have on PS3 you'll know what to expect, if not...its a good action RPG that would actually be easier to watch the videos on the store page for a description...and just know it actually lives up to the gameplay, unlike most.

For weapons you get long swords, great swords, hammer, chakram, bow, staff, sceptre (magic shot), daggers which dual wield in one hand slot and assassinate, as well as fae blades which are similar but have different actions behind them, there are 2 'general' armor categories between magic buffs and melee perks but a million armor (random as hell), I actually grabbed the better mage DLC armor for when I prefer to cast.

The game has all the bells and whistles of a good Action RPG and sincerely too many items to choose from for stat modification based on playstyle...the DLC armor has the bonus of not needing to ever be repaired as well as perks based on how many of the set you equip which makes it a no brainer early on to mid-game

On top of that you get to choose another perk based on where you allocate your skill points which is considered your "fate"...since you supposedly have no destined role. This also comes in as another ability called Fateshifting that basically jacks up all your stats and allows you to kill all the enemies you've brought down at once for bonus exp if you trigger a kill before it ends.

Theres really too much detail to go into in one of these reviews, and way more than I have the patience for...but its a damned good game and it hasn't changed much in that aspect.

I'm actually curious if you'd love this game or hate it. Or both.
Too bad there's no demo, just this free jam build (prototype?).

Guess we'll never know till I cough up the cost, itch stays on my virus drive with my smut, which in turn has no Steam so no Controller support :LOL:

I'll grab it one of these days just for you ;)

Gives me a Pac-Man meets Adventures of Lolo (NES) kind of vibe, so I might like it...depends if it was actually made decent for what it is really.

EDIT:

Hopefully like in previous F2p Community Events, rewards are attainable for everyone, even if they don't play the game.(y)

Wasnt it mentioned that you DO have to play now to get the rewards even if you clicked join? Say you start playing during the 2nd milestone, you'll online get that one and up. Not Milestone 1 as well. At least that's what I understood from discord.

Speaking of bed, I just moved mine and this was plastered onto the flooring, guessing its melted the all weather gorilla tape from where I lined around the edges to patch the wall 🤦‍♂️
