Why all the hate ?.
Why this game is so hated and so poorly rated ?.

Well, mainly two factors cover that :

1) The game was first released on Xbox, with many bugs and a serious frame rate issue.

2) The game is not easy to get into. No tutorial and is definitely not a walk in the park, either. You die a lot, in the first couple of hours.

Also, Two Worlds has been accused of :

  • Balance problems.
  • Bad combat system.
  • Bad voice acting.
  • Poor story.
  • Short main quest.

Well, aside from the voice acting, nonsense.

The fact is, that, this game needs at least 4 hours into it, to really start to understand it and to unfold it's true potential.

I was stubborn enough to figure out my way and after a while I started to realize the true beast the game is.

Story, main quests and side quests quality are a mixed bag. Some of them are fine and some are just the average stuff.

The bad reputation about combat system and balance issues shows a lot about the people that reviewed this game and also about many many gamers these days. You start as the average joe with almost no gear and skills. So you want to slash everything already ?, You want a Hollywood movie or a true RPG game?.

Of course you will die a lot, and enemies, specially in groups, will tear you apart. You need to pick your fights, be smart, keep yourself on the roads, and in general, slowly make your way so you get more powerful and better equipped. Sounds familiar?. Yes, it's an Open World Adventure / RPG game!.

Like in any other world populated by different factions and races, you will encounter enemies that are beatable and others that just will wipe the floor with you. YES, the world have regions and you have to be smart enough to know when to backoff and go somewhere else.

Does all of this ring any bells to you ??. It's a true RPG game, where you are not "god" and you need to, actually, make a man (or woman) out of yourself.

Eventually, when you choose your natural path, as a consequence of how you manage to initially progress and, of course,your personal likings, you start to get better at everything and all of the sudden, the combat system is not that bad, you do more stuff, you learn to control masses and in general you start to be more confident and competent.

Does the game have issues ? Yes.
Is it worth playing ? Totally.
What the game really offers.
There are some basic features that are well covered and make the game enjoyable.

  • More than 60 hours of gameplay.

  • Good character progression with meaningful and effective skills.

  • Specialization in one or several paths possible.

  • Hundreds of armor sets and weapons.

  • Possibility to combine similar armor and weapons.

  • New armor and weapons as a result of the combination of similar ones.

  • Easy to understand and use chemistry system.

  • Meaningful (and necessary) buffs.

  • Open world with several landscapes and difficulty levels.

  • Several dungeons where to get nice loot.
Useful knowledge - Playing and not sucking at it
There are some things that will ease your life:

  • Avoid direct confrontation at the beginning. You don't suck. Keep yourself on the roads. If you encounter groups of hostiles, try to run away and guide them against wild beasts. After that, you can come back to see if some one was killed and get some loot.

  • Avoid being surrounded.

  • If you can fight from inside a healing shrine, do so. This is not cheating, it's adapting and using environmet to your favor.

  • Learn to use the Q and E keys. Most of the hostiles can be avoided by studying them and dodging using the Q key. This will not work if you are surrounded.

  • Learn to use chemistry fast. Buffs are really important, specially when you fight groups.Chemistry is really easy to use; just combine stuff and you'll get the hang of it in no time. Strength buffs are incredibly effective.

  • Bow is really bad until you gear up and invest in bow skills. So it's hard to do at the beginning; you're better of with close combat skills.

  • Magic is really bad until you gear up and invest in magic skills and get more magic cards. So it's hard to do at the beginning; you're better of with close combat skills. Try to get heal magic cards fast and stack them. With 3 cards stacked, you can even rely on this for healing and forget about healing potions.

  • Lock picking and stealing are really useful. Invest in lock picking early. Some gear will come out of stealing that will ease you life a lot.

  • Keep healing and mana potions. Specially for chemistry matters.

  • Skills can only be learnt from some NPCs ; so explore.

  • Keep yourself on the north of the map; even if main quests sends you south early. North (with some exceptions) is more accessible at early stages.

  • Don't mind dying. There is always a revive / healing shrine and a man shrine close. In this game, dying is not an issue; as a matter of fact, you learn a lot from dying.

  • Loot a lot. Money is not a problem in this game, specially if you loot armor. You won't have founding issues if you keep looting armor as you go. Once you get a horse, you will have a lot of inventory space and weight capacity.

  • In close combat, there are skills that combined with 2 handed weapons are really useful for crowd control.

  • Weapons types are really meaningful for different enemy types. You need different sets of gear and weapons on your inventory. Gear up depending of the enemy type. I(nvenroty) key always pauses the game.

WORST physics simulation in any game, horrible combat and AI followed by nonsense programming with people hitting ground with axe and trees with spades. Nothing can save this abomination. Garbage bin.

OK People.... Get that Phys-x patch, then download the well published console codes to a Notepad / Notepad++ document and tab between the notepad.doc set of console commands and the game... Use portals to jump cycle through time and harvest armor and weapon upgrades systematically... Go out and hunt down Dragon mounts ! Much better than Horses !!! They are literally portable storage chests, and high speed attack platforms... Don't Grind yourself to death, just Max out the character via console commands and wield any spell, weapon / Armour... Also max out your portable portals and store bunches of them in every mount... organize several mounts in each major city.... Then and only then start the Story line and realize the fun of a true open world RPG and First Person D&D... Then come share your Crazy Screen shots with me !!! Yep I wanna see em !!! Also... There are many secret spots in the middle of nowhere and that includes spots you can mountain:jcdenton: climb

Game has no weapons and armors without a level cap, telling a game which is almost 20 years old janky is kinda weird ngl

It makes no sense to say this game doesn't have balance issues. It really does, buy a machete with better damage and innate fire for 1300, cool, next vendor has a SWORD OF SHADOWS, 175-330 damage, only marginally more expensive than the machete, but has a level 13 limit, cool, i bet that'll still be good, find my way into a cave with deathknights and hilariously die/fight them around the res marker, immediately get 5x more powerful in terms of armor and find a 2 handed sword with no level limit thats stronger than the sword of shadows. Theres ideas that make no sense and progression is definitely wonky. All that being said, I'm having a blast playing this janky game.

@Hentaika: Everything is overpowered.
With the help of wolf hearts and traps you can beat any enemy at any level.
Furthermore when you open the inventory all fights are paused, so you can infinitely heal and restore mana. The choice of weapon doesn't really matter.

this game is not too hard, it is too easy even on the highest difficult setting. there is no need to use the active skills because it is too easy, that is a pity. Even so, I am enjoying this game a lot.

Do you recommend Normal or Hard? I'm really in doubt!
The game seems to suddenly get easy after you change equipment from 16 atk to 60 atk (maybe that's the balance issue?) Is Hard difficulty going to counterbalance that? Or should I not mind it and keep going on Normal?
