I remember when this game was hyped up as the "Oblivion killer." Lol.
In retrospect we can all see the major flaws in Oblivion itself as it has become a bit of a meme itself but believe me when I say this game is a whole other level of missing features, jank, crude and under-developed. Even downright broken at times!

But, is it enjoyable? Well, surprisingly yes-- but with some caveats.

If you're looking for a innovative game with a good story, narrative and immersion... Two Worlds is DEFINITELY NOT for you.
However, if you're looking for a straight up videogame with camp gallore which is often unintentionally hilarious and enjoy grindy leveling in a ARPG with an open world to waste some hours whilst enjoying a interesting soundtrack? Sure!

The voice acting is absolutely terrible and needs a special mention in and of itself.
You'd swear the game was written as a comedy. It's actually kind of amazing how bad some of this is even for the time, I laughed out loud so many times at how awkward dialogue can be. The expressions on the hero's face during dialogue choices only adds to this experience.

The Steam version of this has been my second playthrough, I tried retail back in the day and rushed through it quite a bit, missing tons of content-- pretty much half the game.
I came back to it figuring I'd give it a fair shake and was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed leveling up and made some personal little goals to tick before finishing the game:
To get to level 100 if possible, fully explore as many locations as I could locate, and to clear at least roughly 80% or so of the mobs since they do not seem to respawn.
I managed all of these and it was actually a pretty fun experience this way.

If you want a basic ARPG and enjoy hack and slash grind, definitely grab this one on sale. It'll keep you entertained for a while if you really go through the content.
