A very nice read, I have the sensation that TW2 will be the biggest surprise of the entire 2010  |

A SUMMARY OF THE RPG ITALIA REVIEW POSTED BY LOLOZAUR:
http://www.rpgitalia.net/news/two-worlds-ii/two-worlds-2-a-closed-betas-review/
- The landscapes are really gorgeous. Despite resorting to few resources, the visual quality offered is almost unrivaled, especially when it comes to rendering distance. Well defined textures do the rest, making the landscapes of Antaloor look alive and credible.
- it is rare to find a character which is the same as another. The costumes and clothing of the various islands are so distinctive that they make each one of them unique.
- The framerate is always very high: playing on a dual core at 2.8 Ghz, ATI Radeon HD 4850 with 512 Mb and 2 GB RAM it’s always between 40 and 50 fps in open spaces, and in closed ones can arrive at 70 fps, with all details maxed out at 1368×768 resolution.
- extreme customization of every item and magic. Weapons, clothes and armours can be disassembled in order to use the parts as resources to power up other instruments
- Game map deserves a specific mention: it’s huge. The adventure takes place on four main islands and a few secondary ones that can be reached by a boat controlled by the player. Every island has its own climate and fauna, which guarantee a notable variety of monsters.
- Two Worlds 2 has, among perks, the loading speed of environments and saved games. After starting the game we can play in about 25 seconds, and the game world is totally streamed, so we will have only 3-4 seconds loadings for entering houses or dungeons.
- In order to make the experience more movie-like, Reality Pump added some slow-motion actions or a camera movement that emphasize critical hits and special moves.
- Two Worlds 2’s magic system, called DEMON, is worthy of being listed in the Guinness World Record for the extremely high number of combinations offered in the spells creation. A bit harsh at first to handle, once understood how it works, it offers unmatched freedom of customization to the player through the use of special cards in creating his own spell.
- Two Worlds 2 has very interesting dialogues, capable of catching the player’s attention. The main character has his own rough personality and his sarcasm reminds us of both The Nameless Hero of the Gothic Saga and Gerald of Rivia of The Witcher series. During our conversation with NPCs we can choose from several options and the discussion goes on as in any other action-RPGs. The story reaches levels of complexity and deepness that the first Two Worlds would only have dreamed of.
- There are several modes to play: deathmatch, co-op, village mode and others, that resemble an online approach, usually the prerogative of shooters game. The co-op quests guarantee an additional dose of adventures that will last 8 hours for a maximum of 8 players (the beta players played it all weekend, the first time it was available).
- Conclusion
Two Worlds 2 is the real surprise of this fall. With a flop on their shoulders like the first Two Worlds (though it is really better with the last patch), Reality Pump worked hard and created a fantasy world alive and capable of involving the player. Detailed graphics, numerous quests with different endings, totally customizable items and magic are only some of the aces up the sleeve of this game. Whoever loved (or tried to love) the first Two Worlds should buy it without second thoughts. Whoever is still waiting for The Elder Scrolls V will find a valid substitute for Oblivion, with more role playing under all aspects. Those who, like me, have been following the Gothic saga for a while, will be surprised to find some of its clichés presented here in a coherent manner. In short, this is a must for every fan of the action RPGs genre.
Vote: 9.1/10

TW1 has very nice landscapes too. Love the old stone ruins.
Thanks for the review summary.

Hm, I just noticed that the russian release date for TWII is actually November 12. I thought I'd have to wait until 2011... This(coupled with the fact that the game turned out to be surprisingly good) made my day.
ASRock B450 Pro4 || Ryzen 7 3700X || Patriot Viper 16Gb DDR4-3600 || ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF GAMING || XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro 1Tb || Xiaomi Mi Surface Display 34" (3440x1440)
