It is hard to articulate just how detrimental the Chaos Portal section of Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - Fatesworn is to the rest of the new content. Until those portals opened this felt like a story worthy of Amalur, with a few twists and turns and Agarth acting a fool (as is tradition). Then the brakes were pumped, and I was buried in purple Chaos energy for far, far too long in the main arc. If there's one lesson I hope any prospective sequel developers take from this big adventure, it's this: leave the Chaos Portals out of this and just make the game you know you can make. As the rest of the adventure proves, the Amalur franchise can still hold its weight.

With new Chaos mechanics, Fatesworn not only delivers a final chapter to the story of the Fateless One, but shows that the game still has much to offer. The DLC however lacks the epic adventures of the original game.

Uninspired, boring endgame expansion that is difficult to recommend even to hardcore fans of the main game.

With an engaging story, amazing lore and worldbuilding that fit nicely with what has been established in the main campaign, and a huge number of new well-crafted additions, ranging from a new location to new mechanics, new enemy types, and gear, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - Fatesworn is a great way to end the story that started back in 2012 and a very good reason to journey back to Amalur one more time. The new content doesn't stray too far from what we have already seen, however, so only those who did fall to the dated charms of the base game will find it truly worthwhile.

With a less memorable story, and a short campaign that still feels longer than it needed to be, Fatesworn is a victory lap for hardcore Amalur fans who want to spend more time in its world. While it does not live up to the original, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning: Fatesworn is still enjoyable, which is a testament to just how well the combat and systems of Amalur hold up today.

The Fatesworn expansion feels like an attempt at milking a game for content, with 6 hours of main quest that ultimately turns into a glorified fetch quest, and newly implemented systems that felt poorly thought out. If you absolutely must buy this, get it on a discount.
