I'm just going to get straight to the point: I'm pretty conflicted in how I feel about Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning on Switch. On one hand, I'm utterly delighted to play a game that isn't a blurry mess, making a total mockery of the 4K TV I probably shouldn't be playing it on, because Re-Reckoning looks amazing for a Switch game – and runs just as well.
That probably isn't all that surprising given that it's nearly a decade old at this point, but a game running in full-fat HD with a solid frame rate is nothing to sniff at on Switch. (Please, Nintendo, give us a Nintendo Switch Pro already!)
On the other hand, Kingdoms of Amalur really feels its age. Actually, if I'm being perfectly honest, it feels older than that. Play this and then Skyrim immediately after, and suddenly Bethesda's decade-old RPG doesn't appear all that dated. Re-Reckoning isn't clunky or broken, but it is certainly a product of the past.
