Lost in Random Download: A Blast from the Past with Modern Twists

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is not your average remaster. Instead of being a full-fledged remake, it's more akin to a modern generation port with some enhancements and tweaks to make the overall experience more enjoyable. Developed by 38 Studios and Big Head Studios, the new edition has been polished up by KAIKO, the team behind this generation's remasters for Darksiders and Red Faction Guerilla.

The story behind how this game came to be is quite strange. Despite selling over 1.2 million copies within 90 days, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning was considered a failure, leading its developer to bankruptcy. The IP for the title was eventually left in the hands of Rhode Island taxpayers. Fast forward to 2012, and the game was released on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, which seems to have flown under the radar for many gamers.

Don't go into this game expecting a massive overhaul or a complete remake. Instead, Re-Reckoning offers a fresh coat of paint and some tweaks to make the experience more enjoyable. The result is a blast from the past with modern twists that will appeal to fans of action RPGs.
