    What do you people think of this 2 games?

    I'm looking for something like Oblivion and DMC series in term of their hack-and-slash.

    I have no idea on Two World (Trim down vesion of Oblivion?) but I know X-Blades is a DMC-Like hack-and-slash. How's the combat system of Two World? Nice and simple?

    Story and such doesn't really matter, I would only like to take a break from the oh-so-everywhere FPS and RTS on PC.

    Two Worlds is not a bad game, worse than Oblivion? for some yes, for some no
    But I would not call it a bad game - it has mostly what Oblivion has - large world, towns, spells, exp gaining, ect only the combat system can feel simple

    Thanks for the reply.

    In term of hack-and-slash element, which one is a better game? In both case, repetitive is not a problem, since I'm looking for a game that is repetitive (ie button smashing).

    X-Blade is said to a game that tried to emulate God of War and DMC so hack and slash wise it would be the best as Two Worlds is pretty much like Oblivion which wasn't really a button masher. I haven't played any of the two but from what I saw in the gameplay videos and reviews my point of view is pretty close to the reality. X-Blade should be the perfect choice if you want mindless fun.

    Devil May Cry 4 is cheaper than X-Blade so get that instead.
