Looks pretty alright to me. It's not a huge improvement but a good enough excuse for me to play this game again. It's really a wonder that it gets this treatment at all AND an addon next year. Maybe if enough people buy it we'll get a sequel. |
This is a classic THQ move, they did the same when they acquired the Titan Quest IP. A remaster edition with all content and two expansions shortly after. I like it, it's a good way to revitalize aging games. I played the heck (heck & slash genre?) out of TQ and went back when THQ re-released it with new content, I think it's a pretty clever move. At least it works on old dogs like me.
KoA is a fantastic game, played like a sharp and action-oriented MMO without the "MO" bit and too much grinding. Combat is really fun and very varied depending on which path you choose. I might get the remaster when the expansion comes out.
