Thoughts On Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning PC Demo
I’ve played through the PC version of the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo a couple of times since its release earlier in the week. I’m always down with a good RPG, but am still on the fence as to whether Reckoning is one of the good ones. I prefer realistic graphics over cartoon, so the art style of Reckoning is not entirely to my taste. However, if the gameplay excels then I can forgive most graphic styles. So far I find the story and gameplay of Reckoning to be mediocre at best. The story holds no appeal for me and seems quite shallow, but I’m not a lore buff to begin with. Still, the story plays a big part in making the game feel less epic than other recent RPGs such as Skyrim, The Witcher 2 and even Fable 3. Yes, I said Fable 3. Don’t look at me like that.
