Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning (Switch)

This was a really good game it really surprised me how good this game was sad it came out the same time as Skyrim it was definitely over shadowed but it’s fun nonetheless a hidden gem

One of my all-time favorite games to date! I have this game on XB1, PS4, PC, 360 and now NSW. Switch port has some framerate hiccups every so often, but it's a fantastic hack n slash action/adventure RPG. It's like Skyrim, but better melee combat. Downside, no mount. Upside, you run like a deer without stamina issues. For the most part, it runs surprisingly well and it's a looker too. It definitely shows age in some decision choices, but it's a fantastic game. So much freedom, a true power fantasy. I 100% recommend this game for anyone who likes fantasy real-time combat RPGs. Similar open world genre of games such as Witcher, Skyrim, Dragon's Dogma, Breath of the Wild, etc.

If you enjoy games like Skyrim and The Witcher, then this open-world RPG is worth sinking your precious time into. Though the games has a bottomless amount of quests to complete (over a hundred quests spanning five main storylines—this edition provides the definitive experience including all downloadable content in one cartridge), the main story itself can be rather obtuse and feels surprisingly thin considering its large scope. That said, your enjoyment of the game will depend on how much you're willing to immerse yourself into its deep fantasy lore.

I was worried the game would feel dated because of the original release date, but I had a fun time when playing. There is so much content, if you want a game you can spend time in, this may be for you. I'm not a linear point A to point B type of player, so I really liked that there were so many side quests I could choose to do. Even though I occasionally found myself lost, it never got frustrating. If you have a chance, I recommend you try this great game.

Not without it's flaws! In fact there are several game-crashing bugs present for a number of quests that I have already encountered with about 70 hours of gameplay put in. Very fun still if you are patient enough or willing to work around it with previous saves. *SAVE STRATEGICALLY* and only consider rewriting those saves once you complete any given questline. If you enjoy games like KOTOR, TES series or WoW, this has something for you.
