Older RPGs do it better...
I wanted to try this (now quite old) game because I so much heard of it when it came out. At that moment I hadn't much time to play so I gave up. Later, I did concentrate the few time I had for videogames on Oblivion, as an Elder Scrolls saga early fan. Two Worlds II then came, and I had other games in priority. So when I found a sale on GOG, I remembered how this game did tease me, and I took the whole bunch without searching for feedback on the net. I was wrong. I'm used to play old games and I think I'm able to relativize the diverse flaws, graphical archaism, old gameplay, and so on. I was very disappointed. If I situate this game in the Oblivion period, then it easily came 10 years to late. I don't care if an old game is not as good looking as a recent one ; but there, it looks far more old than games of its year ! Someone complained about Two Worlds being compared to Oblivion, but how not to do it with such a huge gap in terms of quality, interest, deepness ? The music is quite bad and repetitive, the hero's voice and dialogues are boring and totally dumb, the main plot is simplistic (*SPOILER* you can make the "great choice", the one that seals the end of the story, 2 minutes before the final cinematic... */SPOILER* what a spoiler...), the background is muddled, the difficulty is not homogeneous in the character progression, the RPG-inherent repetitiveness of some tasks seems less bearable than in another game, ETC. I won't talk about the absolutely disastrous mounted horse management. There are many others older RPGs that have not had this so-called stature, and which are far, far more interesting. In short, buy it only on sale, if you are really curious or if you like very basic hack and slash heroic fantasy games.
Is this helpful to you?
