The mechanics of horse-riding are horribly clunky, and the mounted combat isn't very enjoyable either. Secondly the horses really don't seem to take to the terrain in Two Worlds, and attempting even a slight hill will cause your mount to hit an invisible wall. Gamers familiar with Red Dead Redemption and The Witcher 3 will be accustomed to having a mount that is only a whistle away don't expect any such convenience here. The problem is that horse-riding really isn't worth the effort. Horse-riding was marketed as one of the major selling points of this game, and the fact that one of the core skills you can invest in relates to mounted combat demonstrates how highly the developers value this aspect. Walking from A to B is the tried-and-true method, of course, but you'll soon grow tired of being swarmed by monotonous waves of enemies every thirty seconds and the types of opponent you encounter are about as uninteresting as those in any MMO starter area (big spiders, wolves, shirtless bandits, etc.). You have three ways of getting around in Two Worlds: you can walk, you can ride a horse, or you can teleport. Barely an hour into the main story you find your map dotted with about half a dozen quest markers, each of which you need to visit in order to advance. (I wouldn't spend my time trying to justify Eragon if I could just watch Lord of the Rings!) This game really throws you in at the deep end without giving you a reason to swim. Many reviewers are describing Two Worlds as 'so bad it's good', but to me that sounds like settling for mediocrity when there's a vast number of superior RPGs out there.
