However, as a remaster, Re-Reckoning can be very hit and miss.
There's so much room for experimentation here, and it's another area in which Amalur still excels.
Depending on your choices, your play style may change dramatically as you begin to favour specific weapon types and skill synergies. You can spend all of your skill points on maxing out a single tree, or you can dabble in a bit of everything. Developing your fateless hero is engrossing, as you mix and match abilities from three different skill trees: Might, Finesse, and Sorcery. There's a lot of busywork to get through if you go looking for it, but again, it's the promise of more combat that keeps you hooked.Ĭharacter progression is also a factor.
Killing a specific monster, collecting a certain number of items - you know the drill. Similarly, side quests are often quite boring. It's an interesting plot on paper, but it's mostly told through dreary dialogue from secondary characters that you don't really care about.
