Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is perhaps more known for the names attached to it: ex-MLB pitcher Curt Shilling, Elder Scrolls vet Ken Rolston, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and author R.A. Salvatore, but the game's fluid (non-class) class system provides just as many identities to the player.
The latest trailer for the game shows off some of the versatility of the skill tree system, which is comprised of three branches – might, sorcery, and finesse. You can assign points to any of these areas as you see fit, and you'll unlock bonuses known as Destinies depending on how far you progress along each path as well as for mixing and matching them.
As you can see in this teaser, the results can be powerful. This movie also shows off the three-button combo combat system, which is just as visceral as any action game.
