Torchlight II Reviews

If you like Diablo III, you will love this too! Had a hell of fun leveling and grinding. Just the loot spiral in the end game is not so extrem as in Diablo to put that much time into it. But a lovely game! Just go for it!

I played torchlight 1. I liked it. I played torchlight 2. I liked it. I played torchlight 3. I dunno of I like that one or not. But 1 and 2 for sure.

this was one of the first 2 games ever bought for me on pc when i was a kid, unfortunately the other one was godus and it started my crippling grand strategy/4x/rts addiction. playing this is cool cause i get to see an alternate universe where i got obsessed with arpgs instead.

perfect balance of straight forward gameplay and customizable character... great fun

This is such a fun game, cute characters and even though it's Diablo-esque the devs did an awesome job of making it totally different in a lot of ways. If you liked Diablo, then you'll love these games.

This game is A LOT of fun everyone should play this game at least once it's a great mix of Diablo 2 with a Borderlands art style.

I avoided this game for along time due to bad reviews when it first came out. Honestly its a great improvement over the first one. I have fun. Some things surprisingly can be destroyed in the world and its just a neat lil quirk. I like the change up of classes, similar, familiar but unique. Its been a great way to relax. No require online just pick up, play, and walk away as needed.

It is better, smoother and prettier than the first version, but in essence it is more of the same. The game has a better structure and enviroment, more secrets, better modding scene, more robust endgame systems & above all - more cute pets. It improved all things that I enjoyed about the first one, so it is obvious i liked this one too. I did use mods to speed up the grind to max level and 5k destroyed objects & I recommend you do the same if you want to 100% it.

One of my favorite isometric RPGs. Many hours of enjoyment and great achievement hunting.
