Your very own fantastic playground.


Two Worlds 2: Epic Edition, a vast fantasy realm full of danger and adventure for you to explore and conquer, is available 60% off on GOG.com. That's only $7.99 for the next 24 hours!


There are some role-playing games that you cannot simply put down, once you start playing. They suck you in whole into their reality, making you feel like you belong. You explore their vast worlds, accumulate wealth and power, meet the inhabitants, and leave a mark on their lives. Then, all of a sudden, you notice that you've actually started to live in the game. Your character becomes your actual alter ego and your imagination makes everything that's happening on the screen even more real. The connection is made, and--metaphorically speaking--you live a part of your own soul in the game, forever. You gain the magical ability to transport yourself into the game's world on a whim, just by closing your eyes and thinking about familiar landscapes. This is such a game.


Two Worlds 2: Epic Edition includes the basic game as well as Pirates of the Flying Fortress and Castle Defence expansions. That means, as soon as you play through the main scenario where you forge an alliance with the fearsome Orcs to fight for your freedom against an even more wicked foe, you'll get to continue your adventures in the rich fantasy land. You will hunt for the treasure of the cursed archipelago alongside the legendary pirate, captain Ed Teal of the dreaded Flying Fortress. Then, you can choose an entirely new perspective and become the villainous Emperor Gandohar, who struggles to fight off the invading hordes of Orcs and defend his wealth. All the grand adventure awaits you in the diverse and robust environment of the land of Antaloor!


Relocating to a fantastic land, far away from your mundane troubles, with Two Worlds 2: Epic Edition, now only costs $7.99 on GOG.com! The promo lasts until Thursday, August 8, at 9:59AM GMT.

sirdilznik: Not much better, which is to say, quite bad.
Bad for $8 or just bad for what you'd pay on some other sites ($40+)? I actually found the first to be a great diversion, and I'm the type to look for a good storyline through the main quest to carry me through the monotony of grinding levels. If i were one to put words into people's mouths I'd probably take what you said to mean that #2 has more to offer :)
I'd say if you need need an RPG fix, the game gets the job done. A bit average, but I've been having fun with it nonetheless. I completed the maingame a while back and am currently wrapping up the Pirates expansion. If you jump in, check out the magic system. It's unique.
Darn it, I think I bought this one for $15 or something when it was released, haven't even gotten to play it yet. :P

I personally consider it to be a just plain bad game. It has a combat system that seems to offer a variety of attacks with different weapons, but regardless, combat all too often boils down to stunlock or get stunlocked. The voice acting ranges from halfway decent to unbelievably horrible. The graphics are... decent. It has some of the worst animations this side of Morrowind. The main story is fairly uninspiring. It has a few good moments, but for the most part I found it rather dull. The "shocking twist" at the end is pretty meh. The game starts out poorly with a boring and tedious starter island. It gets better during the middle part where it opens up and allows you to explore fairly large areas, has some surprisingly decent story development, and even a few somewhat interesting side quests. Unfortunately the game takes a turn for the worse at about the two thirds mark, then devolves into a ridiculously tedious, boring, and linear grind of battles in the final act, only to be capped off by one of the worst final boss battles I've ever had the displeasure of playing.

Yes, the game provided many many hours of gameplay. I didn't find the gameplay enjoyable, though. it was tedious more than anything . The magic system is pretty interesting, that's about the only good thing I can say about the game.
