Great writing, memorable characters, and beautiful visuals could have taken Two Worlds II to the next level, but even without them, there is enough combat and mission variety to keep you busy and happy for dozens of hours. If you long for a bit of old-world flavor, you'd do best to overlook the ragged edges and allow Antaloor to work its magic on you.
Topware Interactive will deliver the final piece of single-player DLC for its 2010 RPG Two Worlds II early next month.
I enjoyed this game on my X360, much better than the first one. Sucks we have to wait so long for TW3. I hope they port this game to PS4/X1 in the meantime, especially after all these updates and new expansions. Would certainly help build some hype for the third entry, at least a little.
Guess they're officially done milking the only passable game they've released. They can always rename Raven's Cry again and pull a couple more sales from the unknowing public.
Two Worlds II offers adventurers the thrilling experience of a perilous and daring journey throughout a vast magical land. Rich in story, detail and content, 2W2 offers an array of unique approaches to classic game elements that push the envelope for the fantasy RPG genre.
Played this on PS3 it wasn’t bad for a B game but in no way did it “offer an array of unique approaches to classic game elements” and sure as hell didn’t push any envelopes. Why release this multiplayer so many years later ? They should re-release for this gen consoles for 19.99 with the updates
I enjoyed this game, much better than the first one. With Two Worlds 3 coming next year, I would love to see a remaster of this on current gen.
You did read that title right, the game that was released in 2010 for Europe and 2011 for North America now has microtransactions thanks to a recent update by developer Topware Interactive.
lol what ? i thought this 2010/2011 game was dead already and now they are adding micro transactions ?? at least as the article said they are adding dlcs.
From the same people that provided me a review copy of Raven's Cry then, when I gave the game a 1 due to the fact I found it unfinished, threatened me with defamation (nothing ever happened there).
Then, when they re-released the game on Steam as "Vendetta" claimed everything was fixed (even though it wasn't broken in the first place, right), but then refused to give me code for the re-release.
That re-release sits at a highly negative status on Steam, with most claiming they can't even run the game.
Just saying.
I'm saving Two Worlds for a playthrough in June - August. With Killzone 3, Dragon Age 2, Crysis 2, and Mass Effect 2 to play in the next few months I don't have time for a massive RPG on top of it all. Two Worlds will just have to wait until the slower summer months, but I look forward to it.
I've been playing it for about 15 hours now, and I can say that it is a fine wRPG. Get through the first 2 hours (bad tutorial), and then it opens up. Think of it as a campy "B-Movie" and you will have a blast with it.
Sure there are some technical issues, but no more than any game from Bethesda or other headliners. Really, Bethesda gets a free pass on technical issues, with their games crashing all the time, but Two Worlds 2 with a few frame rate issues and other minor things gets hammered...just something to think about. (Btw, you can command code alot of this off like no grass, no fog, no blur...the internet can tell you how to do this)
This guy rags on the story a bit too harshly...its at least standard fare and mildly entertaining.
I'm having a lot of fun with this game...and the humor is pretty good. I've heard a Monty Python reference, Ghostbusters, FightClub, Brokeback Mountian (yes, thats right...Brokeback Mountian).
Here it is....If you need an RPG to play before Dragon Age 2, this game will fill that void...If you can wait, then its certainly worth between 30-40 bucks.
