Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning vs The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings is another award-winning title from CD Projekt Red featuring the enigmatic Geralt of Rivia, professional monster slayer. In addition to the franchise's famous non-linear, realisitc and thought-provoking narration, the game offers players the exciting continuation of the storyline right where The Witcher left off, that is by King Foltest's side marching towards the Baroness La Valette's fortress while his mind is constantly being plagued by the insistent need to discover the identity and origins of the Witcher-like assassin who had been defeated by Geralt and had failed to take Foltest's life.With brilliant graphics and epic soundtracks, the game plunge you once again into its immerse world and storyline where every decision you make matters and will change the world as you progress. The game has also revamped its combat system with smoother controls and animation sequences and added a more dynamic and tactical approach to every battle you encounter.
If The Witcher is a great game for you, then you'll love this much improved version, The Witcher 2. Almost every aspect of the game has been reworked for the better, and even if you have not played any game in the series before, you'll be able to appreciate the game as it is. Of course, the enhanced edition contains a whole lot more goodies that you can also explore once you buy the game.
