TopWare Interactive has today officially announced that Two Worlds II, the major turnaround sequel of the year, has recently broken the one million unit sales mark in Europe after just three weeks on the store shelves. And, the momentum doesn't appear to be slowing, as a UK release for Two Worlds II approaches.

First one was garbage. The second was a janky cheese-fest. And then their follow-up release, Raven's Cry, wasn't even complete at launch; doing so badly they re-released it under a new title more than a year later ... still not complete.
I'm probably in the minority but I loved the second one! I acknowledge that it wasn't a great game but I enjoyed it thoroughly and even platinumed it >_<
The first one was pretty bad, but I enjoyed the second despite its flaws. A bit rough around the edges, but it was a pretty decent RPG.
The first one just had too many big glitches. The second was much smoother and had more polish
"Two Worlds is a weird game. But that’s fine, because that’s why it’s worth talking about.
"It didn’t sit with critics all too well on its release back in 2007, but take a quick look at its GoG page and you’ll find glowing review after glowing review.
"Along with many people, I also like it – even though it's absolutely terrible."
Yea, two worlds 2 was great. Lots of great mod tools too which were super fun. Nothing about the game was done well, but something about playing it with a few friends was just a fun time. Thought I was the only one.
I really enjoyed both entries. I wish they would attempt another and keep the unprofessional voice actors, but improve the AI so they react to you stealing their stuff and such. The bad English gave the game a unique personality and added a lair of humor not found in other RPG's.
There's something genuinely great about a game that's so bad it's good - probably because it's a rarer thing to find in gaming than, say, movies.
Back in the day I got obsessed with a really weird FPS called PO'ed. It was rubbish in so many ways, but it had more personality and character than pretty much any other shooter I've ever played.
Ignoring the cheesy dialog, the PC version of the first Two Worlds was actually a good game. The 360 version was a complete mess though.
It seems as if Raven's Cry has only seen the light of day as TopWare urgently needs money. The company has filed for bankruptcy back in September 2014 already and a new file from January 22 says that Topware may be in "Massenunzulänglicke it" (can't pay any bills any longer) soon.
Ill have to pick this up later in the year :(
I'm buying Mass Effect 2 (PS3), LittleBig Planet 2 and Dead Space all in that month, so sadly ill have to wait and i have so many games to beat which sucks!
wait..did i read that right?..did he say it was pushed back till Jan 25th? I thought it was pushed back to the 4th
im excited for the game but given money situation ill prolly rent first then see if it is worth the buy.....im sure crits are gonna be harsh because of the first one =/
Anyone who buys this game after that horrible first release is crazy. Don't give the developer the satisfaction with sales. They should have gotten the game right the first time.
I'm realy disapointed with this game.
Very bad story telling an allot of missing areas after you compleet the main missions.
No rain, very fast day and night render like Arcania.
You can't sleep, lame and boring world with no single immersion like Gothic and Risen series has.
You can't kill town people.You can steal any what you want, combad is hakc slach like Arcania and Gothic 3.
I like more the combat system from Risen or Gothic 1/2.
Grafichs are good, but the rest is a fail to me.
I hope Risen 2 get better, i have fait in Risen 2.
If some disagree with me, tell me why.
This game iks BORING and LAME.
No Rain or snow.
You cant sleep
Very fast from Night to day.
No immersion in the world.
No teachers, instead you get some scroll with instuctions.
You cant kill twon people.
Bad voice acting.
Boring world.
Nice grafichs is the only what i love, but gameplay sucks
