I remember playing Kingdoms of Amalur years ago and enjoying myself quite a bit, only burning out after reaching max level somewhere in a badlands/desert area after having completed the Pirate-themed DLC and building a Keep… or something like that. The memories are vague and looking through Wayback Machine snapshots for what I posted about it at the time (pre-server merge mishap) hasn’t turned up anything.
This remaster, as far as I can tell from those fuzzy memories, is effectively identical.
I’ve seen people complain about technical issues regarding slowdown, but since I generally don’t play with extraneous bells and whistles like AA/AS I haven’t noticed anything beyond occasionally long loading times when moving from an interior area to the main map and some choppiness when running through multiple groups of enemies who end up attacking each other (forming a 10+ mob). I suspect that if you disable the advanced graphic options in-game and enable them directly through your graphics card instead it might sidestep some of the more severe cases that people have reported.
Regardless, I’m having fun so far and will hopefully actually complete the game this time around.
