negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't support this developer or publisher. got some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass DRM that requires all your personal information for registration which already raises multiple security concerns. the other way is through phone activation where you call the publisher's hotline give them a code that appears on your screen so they can give you a different code to type in for registration. i'm surprised they don't ask for my exact penis size for the registration. if you get through all that, you are left with a sub…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The absolute insanity of adding DRM and account requirement many years after release is mind boggling and should not be allowed by steam. Don't buy this game, it's not very good anyway.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →having to register a game I already played for 74hrs years ago and beat seems like an odd choice. If I was required to do so back then as well that means I have done it already so why am I forced to do it again. Why do you need this information? This stupid ♥♥♥♥ should have been removed years ago already. Shattered Embrace DLC prevents the game from starting so you can't even play with it. If you disable it you can start the game. 3 years they've had to fix and and decided not to do so,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't recommend buying this game on Steam. While it's a nostalgic classic, it has serious compatibility issues with modern PCs and operating systems like Windows 10 and 11. Every time I try to launch it, it crashes. I've tried several fixes and troubleshooting tips to get it running, but so far nothing has worked.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played several hours of this when I got it and bounced off. It's been a while and I was going to give it another try but I was told I have to to activate by giving my personal information. What the heck is that? I bought this game I didn't have to put my information in or I would have refunded it. I played a character but if I choose not to activate I'm put in to demo mode which will not allow me to continue my game "Not available in demo mode". This is pretty crappy. Greed in this world is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect for Steam Deck! Got all the DLC and never had to register or create an account for multiplayer. Just put a name and password. No email cuz the service no longer exist. No clue what other reviewers are claiming
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty fun AA rpg with forgettable main story, satisfying gameplay and some memorable side quests. Is it a must play classic? not really, but it is better than first game in every way possible and i enjoyed replaying it 16 years later. There is something lost decade ago this game reminded me about, i played Two Worlds 2 on release year and it worked perfectly on toaster pc and took only 5gb of space while having pretty large open locations and decent graphics, quite a contrast to modern gen…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's so bad it's good. I originally played this on XBOX 360. Is it janky? Yes. Is it cheesy? Yes. Is it fun? YES! It's not perfect, but it's far better than anything Triple A studios have released in the last five years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't understand why people are so against the game. For its time it was a good game; sure the controls are weird, but at the same time Oblivion was just like that as well. People say it's unplayable, without mods/manual downloads, but I've played 29.2 hours since this review and not once have I had an issue with crashing or not being able to play the game and I own each DLC. Oh and if you say you don't like the game because "They have you fill out your info and that is a horrible impression…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Warning ! Running the game requires manually downloading patches and adding files from other Steam games to run! And in doing so will deactivate Steam achievements. So if you want to play this game for steam achievements, I'm sorry but the developers didn't care to fix it. It's a game with a lot of flaws, but in my opinion it's a pretty decent RPG The negatives first: 1. Side quests that MUST be completed before main story line quests, otherwise they will disappear. 2. Concerning playing as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome, modular magic system. If you want to feel like a powerful sorcerer, this game is one of few featuring wizards that allow you to do that. Protip: create the file steamapps/common/Two Worlds II/parameters/autoexecGame2.con (create the parameters folder if it doesn't exist), and paste the following into it: graph.SetFastRunSpecialEFX 0 engine.edgeAABlend 0 engine.fov 60 This will disable some forced motion blur and terrible default FoV not fixable through the in-game settings menu. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two Worlds II is one of those games that feels objectively janky yet somehow manages to be incredibly addictive. It’s rough around the edges in almost every department, and still I found myself sinking dozens of hours into it and genuinely enjoying the experience. The main story is fairly generic, but not bad. There are a few plot twists that help keep things interesting, and overall it’s competently told. That said, the game clearly peaks early - the opening hours are by far the strongest,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has that 'euro-jank' charm that I love. It's not perfectly polished like a Bethesda game, but it has more character and weirdness.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you’re new to the series, this HD version won’t magically make it modern or accessible, but for returning players, it’s like revisiting an old polish classic that never really died. It’s clunky, it’s flawed, but it’s also uniquely itself. so yes the main reason for the positive review is nostalgia.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is actually an incredible RPG for the time. It's a little bit corny and perhaps even a bit janky, but I reckon it's a solid game nonetheless. The music is captivating. The exterior world is gigantic and filled with many interiors. It's as if Oblivion, Gothic, and The Witcher all had a son. I hope the Devs are well and good, they really made something with that classic Euro-RPG charm.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fails to launch on PC, tried the tips recommended to fix it but it did not work. It will run on SteamDeck without any hassle though.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont buy this game if your gonna play mp limited maps almost an arcade compared to the first one i see why this game is deader then dead
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s funny to see how something that felt like a normal game in 2011 can now be thrown together with AI, especially the soulless voice acting. The game isn’t bad for its release time, but it’s dead now, just a relic of the past.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Glitchy, janky, mess... It feels SO incomplete and untested. But, I kept coming back to it. I found myself actually looking forward to jumping back into it. I don't really know why! But, I stuck with it and finished it. The Bad... To start, the physics in the game are horrible. For example, the object collision is brutal. I died several times, getting stuck in the environment, unable to do anything. Once, I got pressed into a cage door, fighting a monster and couldn't move. I just had to wait…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After a dozen hours of playing, a quest bugged. Found a fix with a console command. After another dozens of hours playing, found out, that using console comands permanently disables achivements on that save file. Cool
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If the game doesn't launch, disable the Shattered Embrace DLC in Steam Library -> game's properties. Multiplayer doesn't work, and even if it did, all 50 hubs are empty anyway.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's one of those old games that still has a soul. The graphics are great for it's time and I even enjoyed the story at the beginning. It feels like one of those classic 2000s fantasy movies with heart and an interesting fantasy world/characters. What makes it completely unplayable are the clunkiest, disgusting combat mechanics. If you pick a mage class early (keep in mind that you cannot re-spec early), it's an impossible task to even kill 3 orcs in the early game because of how clunky…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still waiting for Two Worlds 3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Classic RPG but doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Good game overall made by a small studio and very Skyrim inspired
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*Contains end game spoiler* Pro's +Plenty of Enjoyable side Quest +Battle Mechanics were interesting, especially for a mage. +Chapter's 1-3 were quite enjoyable. Con's -Why have horses, if they only matter in one area? (can't even recall your horses) so there's no point. If you leave your horse in the middle of nowhere and you teleport, guess what, you are ♥♥♥♥ out of luck, you can't call it back. You have to go find yourself another horse, or go back to where the other one was. -Why have a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Look, i really liked the first game and i tried to like this one, but it's just awfull, the gameplay is garbage, there are input delays, there are too many actions atached to one button, you start getting one hit quite early and from same enemies, there are good ideas, but this was quite a letdown. won't even finish it, just a shame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is actually a lot of fun but the draconic DRM and lack of devs giving a ♥♥♥♥ about the issues totally legitimate players who paid for the game have when trying to get past it makes it pure cancer. 0/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite a fun game. Hope more people hop back on for multiplayer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whatever, this game is still a blast in 2025 - the magic system is incredible, the RPG / scaling elements are pretty sick (you can really kick a** at the end), and the world is HUGE and full of sidequests. Honestly would rather replay this than a lot of more polished RPG / adventure titles from the time. The price is kinda ridiculous considering how old it is and how jank, but get it on sale and get through the first hour - once you're in the groove and upgrading equipment / leveling up,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best magic system in gaming history so far and ill die on that hill
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clunky gameplay but not bad at all, my suggestion is plug in a controller go through all the settings and take your time with the game and learn the systems and you can really enjoy your time playing this. dof scale off, Motion Blur = 0, Brightness Max, Skip loot animation on, Auto lock on with spells off, Play with controller (This makes all the difference!) when in each menu in the bottom left corner there will be button guide if controller is plugged in also play on easy no reason to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun, mostly, the DLCs are ♥♥♥♥, all of them. The DLCs take your main game character and put them in a separate environment isolated from main story progress. There is a mod that tries to integrate everything seamlessly, but you have to know how to implement it and it's not maintained. The spell system is what makes this game shine, otherwise it's total ♥♥♥♥. The developers and publishers are all ♥♥♥♥♥.; No accountability for any of their mistakes and they burned all their money…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun and runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck out-of-the-box, even though the game page says it is unsupported. The magic system is unique and offers quite a bit of flexibility. Some quests are interesting while others are ok. Overall it's a solid game, even if the main story is not groundbreaking. I highly recommend for anyone who particularly likes to play as a mage. I've never seen a magic system like this and wish there were more games out there that could be this creative.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two Worlds II HD is an ambitious and unapologetically sprawling action RPG developed by Reality Pump Studios and published by Topware Interactive, ACE that embraces freedom, experimentation, and scale as its defining traits. Set in the vast fantasy continent of Antaloor, the game places the player in a world that values exploration and player-driven progression over rigid structure or tightly scripted storytelling. Rather than guiding you down a narrow narrative corridor, Two Worlds II HD…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Arcania replacer for the Gothic series, 4/4, Xardas becomes openly evil, the nameless hero gets a sister
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off this is just my personal experience and opinion, I went into this game with low expectations, i heard it was bad and thought let me buy it and give it a try and see how bad it really is lol. I played the main game for about 10 hours and it is terrible, its full of bugs and has horrible controls and is just plain boring. I ended up uninstalling the game, then later on remembered i bought this game with the Pirates Of the Flying Fortress DLC so i ended up giving the DLC a try, the story…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the graphics might be considered outdated by some, I for one have no problem with the old timey look of the game. But what I really love the most about it how in depth they've made the customization system for the magic in this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone that really enjoyed the chaos of the first Two Worlds, I was excited to see what the sequel had in store. I had heard relatively good things about this game, but when I went to play all I found was all the charm of the original sucked out, leaving a shell of the game I once loved. I really don't like Two Worlds 2 - the combat still sucks, the world is even more bland, and the story is terrible. I couldn't wait to be done with this game about an hour into it. I wouldn't even explore…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game no longer launches and always needs a CD key for some reason. I would never buy anything from this developer or publisher.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two Worlds II HD is a flawed but genuinely charming open-world RPG that scratches the itch for a classic fantasy adventure in the vein of Oblivion or Gothic — janky edges and all. The spell crafting system alone is worth the price of admission: being able to combine effects, carriers, and chains to create your own custom spells is something few RPGs have ever attempted, let alone pulled off this well. That said, be prepared to wrestle with a clunky inventory system, some frustrating looting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No matter how many times I started playing it, there was always something that made me stop. Cursed. And now I am too old to have time for mediocre games
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Customizing your own house in multiplayer was way ahead of its time. I wish the servers were more populated now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVE this game !!! 2010 and still plays better than most 2026 games. The story is like a 1980s action film, I love it. They even have *SLOW CLAP* moments in the dialogue haha. Such a blast from the past. I forgot it has Crafting, Stealth Abilities and Fighter Abilities, I'd just remembered the MAGIC combining is SICK in this game, the best in any game I'd ever played. 10/10 for me, but know that it IS a 2010 game that was revamped in 2018. It looks great, but it's more like SKYRIM…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has interesting mechanics but it feels way too clunky to play. I'd love to see this remade but as it stands I'd pay about $5 for this game as is. If you've got buddies that enjoy classic-feeling games this could be a good group game once you figure out multiplayer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →all in all it a game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An expansive and immersive fantasy RPG that truly shines with its vast open world, deep magic-crafting system, and engaging dual-world exploration. The HD remaster elevates the already stunning environments with breathtaking visuals and enhanced details, making every journey through ancient ruins or mystical landscapes feel epic. Rich lore, dynamic combat, and meaningful player choices create a deeply rewarding experience that invites countless hours of adventure. A timeless gem polished to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The main quest is okay, but the side quests are where the writing shines. Some are funny, some are dark.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →time to conquer the two world.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I say it is a great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hope I can set aside time to return to this at some point.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two Worlds II enters the open-world action RPG space with promises of an innovative magic system ("DEMON"), a dynamic loot system, and a classic dark fantasy setting. However, it ultimately stumbles due to clumsy controls, a confusing interface, and poor presentation. The game showcases strong technical aspects, such as impressive lighting and textures, but suffers from disjointed art design and awkward character animations that detract from the experience. Controls are frustrating, relying…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm just posting to say that even though it says unsupported, it ran flawlessly on my steam machine. There were a few graphical glitches, but that's just how the game is, not because of the steam machine. 😂 Controller experience was surprisingly smooth. Actual review: You're not missing anything if you skip this one but honestly it's a piece of gaming history. Give it a rip.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two World 2 is a fairly old janky game. I've enjoyed playing but do not expect too much or you'll be very disappointed. The story is fairly poor, you'll spend the vast majority of the game doing side quests. Overall it's a 5/10 but Steam's only options are thumbs up or down.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2W2 is a good game for sure, but the handholding for the first 30 minutes is infuriatingly annoying and will scare away many players. The game looks and plays a lot like Oblivion, which is good, but it's just so clunky. Fast-travel is annoying, you can't just do it from the map, you have to go into a special Fast-Travel-menu. "Continue game"-menu does not actually continue the game, but instead opens the loading screen. To use your weapon you can't just draw it, you have to activate it first…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all, I don't understand where is HD quality? Secondly, it has very inconvient interface. Thirdly, how can I move normally? It is possible to move either veeeeery slow or too quick. May be game was great 30 years ago but not now. Only for fans

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is Skyrim's wannabe little brother. It was made by a much smaller studio and it's a little janky but it has a very decent story and flat out great magic system. There is a ton to like here and I have no idea how it has mixed reviews.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like an old school rpg with some elements of pushing forward for its time.
