Ease the Wait for Fable With This Criminally Underrated Fantasy RPG

With Fable now pushed back once again all the way to February 2027, the wait for Playground Games' highly anticipated reboot is starting to feel a bit tiresome, and Xbox doesn't have much else in the fantasy RPG lane to fill the gap in the meantime. There is, however, a perfect game out there that fits the bill in almost every regard: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, a genuinely excellent open-world RPG that never found the audience it deserved and offers a strikingly similar promise of total build freedom, seamless melee/ranged combat, and a sprawling world built to be wandered rather than checklisted.
