For Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, what is expected now was a bonus in its original version, so the 2021 version of the game feels much more standard. Unfortunately, these qualities aren't really rare in 2021 - RPGs are pretty much expected to have this sort of content and the ability to customize character builds, and those that don't tend to have a good reason for omitting that playstyle. Each build has a draw, and if players are intrigued by it, the many further upgrades in each skill tree make sure they can focus on which part of the design interested them in the first place.

The flexibility in character upgrades and abilities also means it's unlikely that players will ever find themselves unable to play the way they want, at least in broad strokes. The sizeable amount of content available in Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is also notable - the game rarely feels as though there's nothing to be done except pursue the main narrative thanks to its many side quests and overworld map pursuits.

One of the game's strongest selling points is its story, which begins with some neat twists on fantasy tropes and continues to deliver subtle, well-thought-out plot beats throughout the game's lengthy run-time. Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning follows the story of the Fateless One, the customizable player character who is able to defy the gods and other supernatural beings in the Faelands to carve out a new path for the world.
