No matter where you are on the map, you're rarely that far away from civilisation, be it in the shape of a city, a camp, or simply some random travellers in the middle of the desert with you. Of course, it'd be pointless having a huge expanse of land if you only had around three people in it, and Two Worlds 2 doesn't disappoint here. Two Worlds 2 has a huge, living world to explore - with a great soundtrack, to boot. The landscapes sprawl for miles onto the horizon, and for miles after that, meaning simply getting from A to B can often be a challenge in itself. One of the first thing that hits you when you finally manage to escape from the castle is just how big this world is. One of the reasons has to be because of just how big a game this role playing monster is.
It's not helped any further by the re-using of character models (or at the very least, characters that look very, very, very similar to each other), meaning you can't even put a name to the face.īut this being said, it's not impossible to follow the story in Two Worlds 2 - it's just a lot harder than it really should be.
Usually, when you get lost on a role playing game, you can check in your quest log to try and jog your memory of what's happened in the quest so far, but in Two Worlds 2, that's of little use, as the entries only ever seem to refer to what you need to do now, not what you've done so far, making understand the story quite a challenge. The storyline often either isn't explained all that well, or gets quickly skimmed over - which isn't all that helpful in a game as huge and sprawling as Two Worlds 2. One of the biggest problems Two Worlds 2 has it that it's so hard to follow. Now, with your new friends in tow, it's up to you to escape from the castle, and begin an adventure with more twists and turns than a giant Curly Wurly. Following this bizarre sequence of events, you're taken down to the castle's dungeon, where, to everyone's surprise, you get broken out by a group of Orks (Orks being every fantasy game's version of a chav - generally being more interested in fighting than doing the right thing). Some magic gets cast, and suddenly your sister's mouthing off at someone we can only presume is Gandohar in an incredibly deep voice. Strapped to a chair next to you is someone who turns out to be your sister, and. Once you've put the finishing touches to your looks, you'll find yourself waking up, strapped to a chair, inside the evil Gandohar's castle. While it can be argued that a lot of the story (and dialogue) would have to be changed if you could play as a female, it's something BioWare have always managed with Dragon Age, and Mass Effect, so it's disappointing that females have been effectively shunned here. There's an impressive suite of options with which you can change your hero's looks, but, sadly, no option to play as a female. The game begins with you creating your own hero, who'll be the lead character for the rest of the game. It's like trying to read Lord of the Rings all over again. With no "Previously on." video to bring you up to speed, it's rather tricky to follow exactly what the storyline behind Two Worlds 2 is - especially as there are so many characters, with fantastical names. Set in the land of Antaloor, Two Worlds 2 follows on from the ending of the first game - which, in itself, is something of a problem if you're new to the series.
The only question that remains is, has the delay been worth the wait? Two Worlds 2 has had a difficult time reaching our shelves in the UK, suffering delay after delay, a change of publisher, and a destroyed shipment of games, and now yet another delay, meaning currently, the only place you can buy it in the UK is from Amazon. Not that it was always planned to be this way, of course.
