3.5 hours in and I think I get the gist. It's alright, I guess, but can't imagine wanting to spend 100+ hours to actually finish it!

"Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning studio working on a ‘high profile THQ Nordic IP’
Some redditors believe that a sequel to this will follow through.
The news headline seems really catchy except, the developers went bankrupt and almost bankrupted the State of Rhode Island after the former defaulted its loan taken from the latter. THQ Nordic bought the IP …

The news headline seems really catchy except, the developers went bankrupt and almost bankrupted the State of Rhode Island after the former defaulted its loan taken from the latter. THQ Nordic bought the IP but never really patched the game of its bugs and glitches and seems unable to go through the code and make the effort. Whoever that studio is, it hasnt really done anything to back-up or create a portfolio on Kingdoms of Amalur.

Dropped after 25 hours. I did my best to enjoy it yet it's too boring.

Gave up for the second time, this one with the remaster. The combat is just bad. It's a single-player WOW.

As much as the writer of this game is hyped up, this is definitely the most boring fantasy drivel I’ve seen in a game. Generic names, everyone worships the protagonist to an annoying degree, and dear Zeus the constant life stories the quest NPCs dump on you unprompted.
I hate the art style too.
Good thing the gameplay is fun …

Good thing the gameplay is fun and I’m not missing much scanning dialogue and skipping.

Storyline was not interesting at all, and the rest of the game did not help. Parts of it were pretty.

KoA:R essentially feels like a single-player MMORPG. Same viewpoint, same skills (combat and otherwise) same running around (quite pretty) 3D environment peppered with enemies and quests. Same cliche story with a slight twist and a giant "raid" bosses. Same equipment inflation.
It's pretty simple and straight forward, but I liked it. Too bad the world never got the sequels that …
