It was worth to wait for Fatesworn. New content is vast, story is pretty good and the game didn't age badly. However, plenty of the DLC is underutilized, especially new mechanics and end-game weapons and armours. When you finally manage to become powerful, there is little left to be done.

Overview
Brand new content that extends the game world by 5+ hours. Agarth visits you and explains that the resurrection by the gnome in the Well of Souls has caused massive disruptions to the Weave. You are the ‘epicentre’ of the potential dissolution of the Weave or the beginning of the first threads that will start to unravel in the Weave.

If first it was the remastering of the original game, now they surprise us with an expansion full of post-game content and a new area that will give us between 10 and 20 more hours of fun....
For fans of the original game, Fatesworn is everything you could hope for: more Amalur! With new scenarios and a classic story of the hero trying to prevent the end of the world, the expansion adds a little bit of everything that was already there, offers timid innovations in gameplay and ensures a worthy closure to one of the best and most unknown...
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...
Kaiko's expansion seems fated to be compared to a dedicated, earnest, and haphazardly-designed fan mod.
