based on 6 top critics

8.0
Fate is a central concept in the world of Amalur. Mortals can pay a Fateweaver to see the broad strokes of their life – yet be powerless to change them. Eternal beings called the Fae live cyclical lives in which their life and death remains the same. Heroes and villains kill each other, returning only to die again. This cycle is showing its age by the time Reckoning begins. A faction of Fae called the Tuatha has risen with villainous intent in the east, no longer content to die – even as the whole world bands against them.

7.5
Kingdoms of Amalur's combat and character advancement are fantastic enough to overshadow how bland everything else is.

8.0
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning creates an interesting world and gives you good combat options, but the whole thing overstays its welcome a bit.

9.0
Gameplay-lacking RPGs have met their match.

7.7
Reckoning manages to take a little bit from every RPG, yet create something wholly new and distinct for its debut.
