This game had a lot of potential.

I went into this game without playing its predecessor but I heard the first two worlds was a disaster. The hype for this game was annoying at best; I don't remember a day without seeing comments like "OMG TWO WORLDS TOO!" I'm just going to point out some things that come to mind about my experience playing two worlds.
Story: There's essentially no story, and it doesn't feel like your doing anything to impact the story on your quest. The plot twist which the average person would suspect while playing through the game was boring. The "end" of the game was a total cliffhanger and it didn't feel like the adventure was finished.
Voice-acting: My first play through the game I made myself listen to the mediocre voice-acting, while some of the characters were alright others were absolutely dreadful. To add on top of that the conversations are incredibly long and dull; I found myself skipping through them about halfway through the game.
Graphics: I don't really have an eye for graphics but overall the game looks very nice. The character models however were the most disappointing part of the graphics, they didn't feel finished.
Pointless One Hour Tutorial: Don't get me started...
Combat: I played through the game the first time as a dual-wielding warrior type player, the combat was incredibly repetitive (medium difficultly) without any challenge. I suspect Archery would be just as repetitive. The magic was incredibly overpowered, I crushed virtually everything my second play through (hard difficulty.)
The Main Island: Is a joke. There's absolutely nothing there aside from the swamp, castle, and occasional cluster of monsters. I was incredibly disappointed after finally exploring it all because it seemed like it wasn't entirely finished (roads leading into cliff sides, abandoned towns.)
Two Worlds Two was a big let down, I hope you didnt get suckered into buying it, I would only recommend renting this if your a hardcore RPG fan. I gave it a five, thats being generous.
