Two Worlds Review

GameShark joins the “not as good as Oblivion” club, giving Reality Pump’s Two Worlds a somewhat average review score of “C”.

Gothic and Oblivion are obviously heavy influences here. In fact this game is so reminiscent of the Gothic series that you might wonder if the two are somehow tied together. Even the main character’s voice sounds identical to the nameless convict of said series.

The game also has a lot in common with Diablo and the games of its ilk. The combat is pure hack and slash, and it often ends in a dance of hit the right trigger repeatedly, retreat and heal. Rinse and repeat. In fact you will often encounter groups of creatures and most of the time, especially at early levels, it is best to try and draw them out one at a time. This is a frustrating game mechanic; your hero is the main protagonist of the story and a mercenary at that and he can’t handle three wild boars? One of the positives that the game draws from Diablo is the unique items and sets. While you will find similar items, there are many combinations of armor and weapons to be looted. It makes clearing out that skeleton cave or tomb worthwhile.
