Kingdoms of Amalur, you surely surprised me. I was very skeptical prior to purchase, thinking this can't match Skyrim...but I was wrong. In terms of a great game, it is completely on par.

I'll keep this simple;

PROS:
-Great Artwork. The characters and world are very intricate and beautiful.
-Great Graphics. Everywhere you go, it looks stunning in their style.
-Great Combat System. The combat is very fluid, and is unlike most RPGS I've played. Its almost a blend between WoW and Devil May Cry.
-Great Story. The Story is turning out pretty well, I'm only in lvl8 and 5 hours in, so far, its been awesome.

CONS:
-Not enough customization. Don't expect Skyrim quality character customization options.
-Fantasy RPG Genre. WoW, Skyrim, Dragon Age, we've seen it all before.

As mentioned, I've barely tapped into the game, and Its turning out great. I recommend to anyone who likes solid combat, it never gets boring.

  I was really looking forward to Kingdoms of Amalur because of the tight gameplay that was promised. Although generally, I prefer story-driven games. As it came to be, in my opinion, KoA:R tried both, and in the beginning... Read Full Review
