History YMMV / KingdomsOfAmalurReckoning

* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: The ''Re-Reckoning'' remaster is often criticized for this due to the minimal graphical improvements (while it does have better lightning, effects and the ability to play the game in larger resolutions in PC, the textures and models were barely altered) and lack of substantial quality-of-life changes outside of difficulty rebalance and level-scaled loot. Also the fact that this version has some almost game-breaking glitches when using Staves such as the game sometimes freezing for seconds when hitting multiple enemies due to the engine failing to do the damage calculations fast enough.

* PlayerPunch: Arguably the House of Sorrows storyline. [[spoiler:The person that originally inducts you into the House of Sorrows uses you as a means to destroy it from within. Basically everyone is dead and the SecondComing of the House's founder has to sacrifice themselves to save the world]]. Especially punch-worthy as the Fateless One would be coming down from the hight of recently [[Awesome/KingdomsOfAmalurReckoning breaking the Mel Senshir siege]] and that was one of the reasons the player is approached to join.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: A common complaint about the game; since the game is so combat-focused, most character builds are ridiculously overpowered, and whatever little challenge the game provides can be mitigated with potion-and-Reckoning abuse, most players can overlevel and breeze through the game before they know they've done so. That being said, the game scales the enemies in dungeons to match your level, and can send huge swarms of them on the hardest difficulty.

** The Maid of Windemere is a standout example due to her particularly persistent waves of powerful enemy summons and near-OneHitKill magic strikes. It's speculated that her boss fight is a vestige of the game's early development from when it was envisioned as an MMO, and was never repurposed for a single-player experience due to oversight.

* GoodBadBugs: The Infinite Backpacks glitch accessible by the time you reach Mel Senshir. Considering how many items in the game are bugged and cannot be removed from your inventory ever, being able to increase your inventory limit well beyond the 120 maximum is a lifesaver.
