Have you ever replayed a childhood game and it's just as great as you remember? For me, that game was Torchlight 2. It's absolutely the best game in the series but you don't have to play the first game to enjoy this one by any means. It's a fun addictive dungeon crawler in the same vain as Diablo but in my opinion does it even better. While the core game play can be seen as repetitive the loop was never unenjoyable to me and the four classes plus the three skill trees in each make for a lot of variety in playing how you want to play. What this game does best though is being incredibly accessible. The variety of difficulty settings mean it can be enjoyed by anyone from ten year old me to someone seeking a huge challenge. You can even turn off the blood if you want to buy this game for your kid! The multiplayer options make it crazy fun with friends as well. Would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys this genre

I honestly don't know how this game has such high reviews. Maybe I'm not easily impressed anymore, but there's so many glaring flaws with this game it's unreal.

Just from the get-go, the game is called TORCHLIGHT, insinuating that it might be some type of dungeon clearing atmospheric game.... but it is cartoony and almost everything is completely bright. You wouldn't even be surprised if you found the monsters having a picnic and playing Pattycake and baking cakes or practicing dance moves.

At least so far, EVERYTHING HAS KNOCKBACK. So you are constantly being knocked back as a melee character, taking any smoothness of gameplay out of the game.

There is no real difficulty level. Veteran is too easy if you have the attention span of a bedridden grandma, yet Elite is unrealistically 'difficult'. And by difficult, I mean you sit clicking a boss for 5-10 minutes while spamming health potion, and have to sell normal gear to buy potions.

This whole game just feels like a slightly 'upgraded' X-men legends, except X-men legends has you playing likable characters. There's nothing to like about a no-story, no skin texture, bubble bath looking 'warrior' whose shouts sound like some generic soundboard clipped off of newgrounds.com.

I'm guessing some mind altering stimulants + easy difficulty could make this a satisfactory grind for someone who doesn't mind a lack of depth.

And I went ahead and 'spoiled' the game for myself by looking up the late game items. There's nothing unique at all. It's all just upscaled regular weapon effects. So there's literally no 'cool' or unorthodox builds, or even aesthetic builds that even Diablo 3 has the option to do.

A lot of people also report that putting the game on windowed fullscreen will permanently crash the game, causing you to have to find the config file or reinstall. And the company made millions off of this game and they don't even put in a tiny bit of work to fix stuff like that. This game represents everything that is wrong with society currently, haha.

The Multiplayer will not work if you can't port forward.
