10 Worst RPG Video Games Of All Time

2. Two Worlds

The Xbox 360 wasn’t exactly a console known for its RPGs and so Two Worlds was a rare case. Regrettably, it billed itself as the “Oblivion Killer”, hoping to outdo the Elder Scrolls’ latest mega hit. That’s a bold claim for anyone to make but Two Worlds was setting itself up to disappoint a lot of people with the level of hype it was generating.

It's not a great sign if you avoid paying for a professional recording studio and do it all in-house, it’s an even worse sign if you have the same approach to writing your game. It’s a roleplaying game, story and script are some pretty key factors! And thus, Two Worlds’ plot was poor both in content and delivery.

It doesn’t stop there though, as the game itself was tragically undercooked when it arrived with constant streams of bugs of all kinds. Objects popping into existence, textures vanishing, NPCs walking through solid objects and all of that is before getting to combat that caused the framerate to chug.

But Two Worlds did deliver on some of its promises! It did include horseback combat, unlike Oblivion. Unfortunately this mechanic feels more like balancing glass vases on skateboards on your forearms with how bad the controls are which means that that chugging yet insanely easy on-foot combat is a better option 100% of the time.

So yeah… take that, Oblivion!
