Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Hi all,

I decided to get my playstation+ membership back again and much to my amazement they were giving away Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, i’ve been wanting to play this game for some time since trying the demo. It is a huge game but it is also a huge download, massive in fact, 14 Gigs so it took a good few hours to download and install but it was most definitely worth it.

Will be going for the platinum for this game so I’ll be on it a while, it has a mixture of several other games, most noticeable is a little of Fable, Dishonored, Morrowind as well as a few others, it’s not a copy of any of these games, it’s just that while playing it, it reminds you of these games depending on what your doing at any specific time. You’ve got the main quest with a ton of side quests. You can have a choice of several types of play, mage, thief, scout, warrior etc…you can play it stealthily or head-on or a mixture of the two, it’s entirely up to you.

You can also change your skills at different points in the game which is also cool, personally I would rather play through the whole game with each choice rather than switch halfway through. You have the fast travel ability once you have visited a place once which is very handy as many side quests require you to revisit certain areas. I’m not going to give away any spoilers but if you like either of the above-mentioned games you really should give this one a go, try the demo at least although the demo doesn’t do it justice. If you try the game you will know within half an hour if it’s for you or not, very addictive.

Keep an eye on my Facebook account for live trophy updates and how I’m doing.
