AWESOME! I love this game, we need more RPG games like this in the gaming community. The ability to change sets of armors, weapons, character races, abilities, and the story is great. Well composed design team. Please let me know when ever your next collaboration is coming out.

This is actually a playstation 3 game originally remastered for the ps4. I like this game because it has role playing game elements and has an action based combat system. The story is good so far.( I have only made it through the first chapter so far.) The graphics are good and the framerate is also on par. I have ran into a couple of glitches here and there, but nothing gamebraking. Overall this is an enjoyable game. If you like adventure/action games this might be a good pick for you.

Good RPG with pretty good combat. Story is pretty solid, only complaint is that you can't fast travel while in town.

I played the original on Xbox 360 and it was lots of fun and this Remastered version is as well. There’s still bug issues that I would’ve liked the developers to fix and gameplay isn’t always smooth and perfect but this game is a fun world to get lost in. The story is fun and there’s tons of side quests and exploring to spend time on. Combat and weapon options are fun as well.

Excellent game..nicely polished remaster that brought me back to when I first played it in 2012. Picked up the switch version but it was pretty sluggish playing docked so I got the PS4 version as well which is definitely the better console to play on.

Really fun rpg and great story. If you are into fantasy action RPG games then this is a must okay for you. Visuals are improved, gameplay same as the original. Pick it up and if on sale it's a must buy.

If you like dragon age then you'll love this one. Combat is fantastic and so fluid. So many options and classes to choose from. This also has all of the dlc included. Easily can spend a 100 hours on this one.

The original game with both expansions remastered in one package. Kingdoms of Amalur is an action role playing game that was released around the same time as Skyrim. It's definitely worth a new play through.

Kinda generic action rpg thats a little on the simple side, but if you can accept that and take it for what it is, its not bad. Sometimes thats all i want to play is somethin i dont have to think too hard about while i play. My biggest complaint would be the conversations you have with people are pretty much one sided, and theres not really a conversation tree like you would find in elder scrolls or something like that, but like i said, its simpler. Think watered down elder scrolls, would prolly be good especially to introduce rpgs to someone completely unfamiliar. Lots of gameplay to be had though, not a short game.

I played the original and went back for this version. There's a hundred hours of RPG gameplay in a beautiful, well-written world with hundreds of quests. Between factions, collectibles, and the now-included DLC you'll be at this for weeks.
There is high and easily-changable customization, crafting is extensive but optional, and the combat controls are fast and responsive.
There are some old, never-fixed bugs and annoyances, but these stand out compared to the polish of the rest of the game.

I owned this game on the PS3, but never finished it. I wasn’t overly impressed with the game. The remaster was on sale so I thought I would give it another shot. They cleaned up the graphics and gameplay which was nice. Overall though it’s still the same game. It won’t blow you away, but some people will love it. I’m going to try and finish it this time. If you like hack and slash RPG then give it a shot.

It's an absolutely fantastic game, especially if you've played it before on the PS3. Although keep in mind its a remaster and not a remake so you're in for largely the same experience. (At least until next year when the new expansion releases) You get all DLC in a convenient package to a fantastic classic in this so if y I use never played it you're in for a treat.

One of my favorite games of the previous generation with a very lackluster new coat of paint. Visuals are slightly improved overall and the higher frame rate and resolution is nice, but the difference is very small. Also, for a very vibrant game the lack of HDR support is a huge miss.

It’s nice to have a western rpg every once in a while, but with the new games coming out now almost a decade later, things have really come a long way and this game has aged only ok. If it’s on sale and you never played it before I say go for it, but don’t expect to be blown away or anything.

The combat and being able to pick whichever weapon combination you want is fun. The graphics were never updated and the load times become burdensome. There is a load time to go in an out of every building or cave or dungeon.

The original Kingdom's of Amalur has been one of my most played games for year and I was so excited for a re-release. I am having a blast playing this game again on an updated console. The plot and story are gripping and the gameplay is well done. Definitely worth the investment.

It's a fun game. It doesn't have the world-changing choices like in other similar RPGs, but got a good storyline. The graphics are much improved over the original version, still not great, but much better.

Happy I get to play on of my favorite games again. Will support it hoping for a part 2. Not really enhanced but the combat is more balanced. Just find it fun, love the combat and changing classes whenever you want.

KOA was one of my favorite games in 2012 and could not wait to revisit it again.
The combat is really fun, along with all the other things you do in an RPG!
