I could take up this entire article by talking rhetorically about this game’s title. Two Worlds II. Does that make for Four Worlds in total? Can I use “Worlds” as an abstract mathematical operator to work with the two twos? And how does this name compare to, say, Level-5’s upcoming Ni no Kuni: The Another World?
But I’m not here to talk about the game’s name. Nor am I here to talk about the game (which I have not yet played). We’re here to talk about the game’s music, composed by Borislav “Glorian” Slavov and Victor Stoyanov.
European, fantasy-based PC RPGs tend to come with a reputation for boiler plate “wannabe film score” music (yes, it also came out for 360 and PS3, but it is at its core a PC RPG). And though we’ve time and again found counter-examples here at OSV, the sneaking suspicion that any new soundtrack in this genre will reek of mediocrity will continue to creep in. Can Glorian and Stoyanov replace said stench with something fresh and enjoyable? Find out after the jump! (more…)
