Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is an immensely enjoyable fantasy RPG that doesn’t have as much remastered content as it could, but one that’s still well worth a purchase for anyone looking for a change of pace from modern sword and board games.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning on Nintendo Switch is a decent remastering effort of a game that, while largely excellent for its time, hasn’t aged flawlessly. Some of this is the unavoidable battering of time, but other things, such as the lack of a target lock, feel like improvements that could have, and should have, been implemented. Approaching Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning from an entirely modern perspective, therefore, will likely lead to some frustration. However, if you can put yourself in the necessary headspace, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is an enthralling, though flawed,…

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is the story of marketable talent crafting a competent-if flawed-RPG in 2012; Re-Reckoning is that same story hastily repackaged in 2020 and resold at an overinflated price point.

Kingdoms of Amalur is the latest remaster from THQ Nordic. While it doesn’t have the same rebuilt visuals as some of their more recent remasters, the boosted resolution and framerate do make it the best looking version of the game. Sadly, the game is also loaded with a bevy of glitches and bugs that
