Guest Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 What additional gemplay changes have been performed? Level lock has been removed The original game determined the level of a zone on first entering, this was stored in the save file. In Re-Reckoning we re-calculate the level every time entering or re-entering a level New zone Level calculation The original game has all zones marked with a minimum and maximum level. on entering, the current player level was clamped into this minimum / maximum range and stored as level We now use the current difficulty level as a means to determine the level before clamping into the minimum / maximum range. On Casual difficulty, the player level is reduced a bit, on hard and very hard it is increased. We also increase the maximum values for hard and very hard difficulty The XP gain has been reduced to cater for the increased level of enemies and we made sure that XP is not increased when playing on harder difficulties due to the effect of beating higher level enemies The result is that you can still out-level zones – which is desirable if it doesn‘t happen too quick. It is part of the power fantasy to be able to come back to initial zones and be over powered – but out-leveling zones you play for the first time should only happen rarely We also made the zone Level calculation easier to modify by modders (PC only) Loot level lock of Containers removed Loot containers now only store their generated loot when they are opened while before they used to store it when entering a zone and were generated to the current player level Loot generation was changed In Re-Reckoning loot generation rules are altered so that you will more often get items that fit your characters skillset. Loot is mostly randomly generated but we increased the weights of loot that matches the players skill lineup better and we have a virtual counter that increases the chance of better loot drops when you didn‘t find anything good Wait for sale if you are new player. People who have original get 60% discount. OpenCritic: 76 | 77% Critics Recommend Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning is a good solid remaster, just don't expect much to have changed compared to the original. The world is as magical fantasy as you could get, and it really does draw you in, but some technical issues and a number of repetitive quests can dull the otherwise colourful experience. A notable remastered work, especially when you take into account the original game's limitations, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a great way to discover this universe and a well earned second chance for a game that was unfairly forgotten. A fairly easy and light RPG experience. Kingdoms of Amalur is a game that rewards the player with new gadgets and powers and tries to be a nice, laid back experience. It may not be the most important remake of the year, but Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a gorgeous, dense, and charming adventure. Re-Reckoning is a reminder of what made the original great in 2012, but mostly a testament to how far we've come since. Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning finally gives a second chance to one of the best role-playing games released in the previous console generation, making the gameplay even better with select balance tweaks that increase the challenge level and make it easier to engage with side content. Despite some issues and a dated gameplay design, the game's battle system, great writing and extremely deep lore make Re-Reckoning a game that most role-playing game fans will enjoy. Especially if they like juggling enemies to death. Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is just as fun as it was eight years ago. Though the game didn't get any updates to its inventory management system or the criminally long load times, the combat is still great and the vast world is a blast to explore. If even the original game wasn't able to take that extra step and stand out among its competition, you shouldn't expect that its remastered version will be able to accomplish this task. Nevertheless, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remains enjoyable despite its age. It is a "vintage" game, capable of entertaining for hours (and hours and hours and hours) with its classic fantasy story full of fantastic creatures, epic legends and fairy lands. Kingdoms of Amalur is still a damn fun game to play in 2020, jankiness, and all. Galavanting across the wilds, exploring caves, and helping (and murdering), the townsfolk never stopped being fun, and I was always looking forward to what new piece of gear or fight I would get into next.

lithuvien Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Visuals don't look remastered. Looks very similar to what it was earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitroNeo Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 The game fooled us so much with it's fake graphical upgrade, they should just use the license and make the KOA2, the gameplay ad the world is great only graphics are dated which can be solved by a sequel.

NitroNeo Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Kudos to the devs to make the same low res DLC, maybe they are the ones who need a reckoning ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Not everything is about graphics... ? The expansion is close to the 10th anniversary of the game. Similar to how Titan Quest also got another new expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the series but when they first teased re-reckoning it felt like a remake, and to see a boost mode version instead with graphics on steroids is a rip off, the colors used in this version legit hurt my eyes that i feel them warm and they get watery even if i play it for like 90 minutes, the lighting and textures should have been reworked, modern TVs make it look dated than it is, i played tomb raider 2014 ps4 version and it looks better than this so called 2020 re-whateversomthing Edited December 15, 2021 by NitroNeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
