    I love how the story doesn't even build up to the fact the player character is a god through mystery and plot, it's just like "speak this password".

      Around this time getting into the big studios was competitive and hard, requiring substantial "experience" So, a lot of new grad devs in animation, 3D art etc would either start their own studios, or take a job at these "Game studios". Most of these studios had little to no managerial structure whatsoever, with an extremely short shelf life before simply disappearing. Of course, you would work on a "Game", but knowing that it probably would never be realeased. If the game is "finished" before the company has laundered enough money or whatever, shit like this gets released.

    I for one applaud the developers for making their game piss easy. Normally the approach seems to be to make such games impossibly hard to avoid most players seeing most of the cringe. Here you can at least cruise through it and laugh about it.

    I find it funny that Two Worlds is a contender for unintentionally funniest rpg, but the sequel, where one of the most effective spell combos gives you a hurricane shield full of anvils, isn't even mentioned. It's not like Magicka, either, where the devs clearly intended ridiculous spell combos to happen. Feels like a total accident that Looney Tunes wizardry is one of the most effective things in the game.

All i remember is the game having 0 tutorial, which made me barely able to understand anything happening and stopping playing it entirely. But nowadays i kinda wanna remember what's it called to go back and try to finish it...
