WarZone has posted a less-than-enthusiastic review of RtK, rating it at three stars:
Return to Krondor is not a disappointment because what's there isn't good. It's a disappointment because of what isn't there. It's far too short and combining that with completely linear gameplay leads to a title that isn't even very replayable. Plus it has the added pressure of living up to Betrayal at Krondor's lofty reputation. It doesn't.
The overall gameplay is quite good. Combat is fun and addictive. The story, while it lasts, is engaging and well told. The controls are easy to get used to despite some clunky handling of inventory. What really mars the experience is a camera that switches position and angle so often you'll feel like you just got done spinning yourself in circles for sixty seconds.
