    This is the real Diablo 3 or even Diablo 4. It gets so many things right on a much smaller budget, I got this game and Torchlight 1 for $20. The game is fun, the drops and builds are creative.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    A worthy continuation of the first part, as for me one of the best series of games in this genre, on a par with Diablo and the rest. I was pleased with the new graphics, new classes, levels and stylization, a variety of monsters and loot. A meager set of really useful skills did not upset much, but do not forget about mods and end-game content. Gladly replayed more than once ;)

    в режиме хардкора после смерти персонажа игра заканчивается и там отдельный общий сундук. но файл общего сундука для игры в обычных режимах можно копировать и переименовать под общий сундук для хардкора. с максимальным шмотками хардкор ради ачивки проходится без проблем.
    не радует то, что можно легко запороть билд, если заранее не знаешь, какие таланты брать.
    есть баг, который позволяет делать золото из воздуха, перепродавая торговцу один и тот же стак банок до бесконечности.
    забыл же сказать, в каком-то нг три плюса или около того мире у торговца неизвестностями можно найти кольцо 100 уровня, которое может носить персонаж любого уровня. на это кольцо тоже надо поставить сильные печати на параметры, чтобы выполнить требования для надевания вещей 105 лвл. вещи максимального уровня на только что созданного твинка именно с помощью этих колец и надеваются.
    сюжета особого в игре не заметил, тупо гриндилка, где нужно уничтожать пачки монстров.
    в кооперативном режиме обнаружил баг. если обмениваться с кем-то шмотками. в которых 5 слотов и все забиты камнями, то эти вещи тупо не отображаются в обмене у другого игрока, но после принятия обмена у тебя все равно исчезают. при этом другой игрок их тоже не получает. если не успел сделать копии сохранений или надюпать копии таких вещей, можно вот так через баг их просрать.
    особо редкие предметы - это легендарные щиты и оружия. они светятся красным, в высоких мирах их можно вытянуть у торговцев неизвестностями.
    судя по всему, на консолях у торчлайт 2 особая версия. было обновление какое-то, которое добавило возможность создавать легендарные оружия из пасхальных предметов. вопрос. почему этого нет до сих пор в версии для пк?
    как и в любой рпг комфортность игры зависит от вещей персонажа. в отличие от разного рода донатных помоек жанра мморпг, где на максимальные вещи придется задротить тысячи часов, в этой одиночной рпг с кооперативным режимом я получил все максимальные вещи за несколько сотен часов.
    проблемы: в кооперативе нет игроков, если в настройках игры выбран русский язык, лучше ставить английский. и еще нет игроков. если ты из высоких миров. то есть проходил одним и тем же персонажем игру кучу раз.
    еще ради кооператива пришлось танцы с бубнами плясать с настройками фаервола.    … Expand

    Average game.
    It's an Hack And Slash action rpg....Diablo clone for short..., with cartoonish aesthetic, fast combat, medium lenght story.
    It ins't a AAA title , it does not innovate any aspect of this kind of games (grapichs, gameplay, difficulty, options, variety) but it does his job at a decent price.
    Loot isn't obsessive.
    I played it , ended it and i will probabilly never play it again.

    Покупал эту игру когда-то давно в Steam из-за скидки 80%, но руки дошли поиграть только недавно. В самом начале она меня не затянула, но я заставил себя пройти сюжетные квесты.
    После прохождения всех сюжетных квестов у игрока появляется выбор: или перейти в новый мир, где будет все то же самое, но выше уровнем, или долбить данжи, пропуск в которые можно покупать у НПСа в мастерской карт.

Я выбрал второй вариант, игра превратилась в гринд монстров. Ходим в данжи, повышаем уровень персонажа, прокачиваем ему навыки, копим золото на шмотки. Несколько десятков часов я только тем и занимался, что пытался копить золото и тут же его сливал в никуда. А потом случайно посмотрел одно видео на Youtube и узнал, что в игре есть баг при продаже вещей НПСу, который позволяет делать много золота из воздуха. Причем видео было старым, а баг работает до сих. Благодаря ему я получил удовольствие от игры, ведь смог себе позволить сделать вещи, которые до этого не мог. Истреблять монстров в данжах стало намного комфортнее. Серьезно, спасибо за баг.    … Expand

For those who aren't against top-down, action RPGs but aren't totally into them either, this one may be a miss. It's easy enough to understand, but also not particularly rewarding enough to those who only understand, and don't already mesh with this type of game. Just thought I should mesh-tion that.
    STILL no?
    Come on, that one was decent.
    Fine. If you don't want my sh^tty jokes, then you can have my even sh#ttier opinions.
    Torchlight 2 is Torchlight but more open, and a few refinements. You may find yourself immersed with more character customisation options, nicer menus and UI, much improved world, character and armour design - and I'd like to emphasise that last one. You see, I'm a big patron of the idea that style and design trump graphical fidelity in games, and Torchlight 2 is actually a good example of that. The art itself hasn't much improved since your first wild encounter with it, but the way it's used has definitely seen an increase in quality. Respect, Torchlight 2.
    And to top it all off, there's more pet options here than PETA puts down in a week, and that's saying something. I picked an eagle and made him black so I wouldn't be too obvious in picking the Beagle.
    Now, I was always told if I had nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all, and I think I've said my share of niceties towards this game. It's time to say nothing at all.
    Nothing at all.
    Ha!
    Now let's complain.
    The first thing that comes to mind is that I loathe the boss fights in this game. Loathing isn't a word I like to describe my feelings towards anything but myself, so to use it now - that means something.
    I made no attempt to hide my dissatisfaction with the final boss of the last game, and so it seems they decided to turn that into every boss in this game.
    Seriously, Runic Games? You're gonna be so petty that you'd spite a review that wouldn't even be written until 9-11 years after the fact?
    Typical.
    Or delusional
    One of the two; I always get those mixed up.
    But f#ck me sideways with a butter knife covered in black tar heroin while sizzling on a hot summer's morning in the back of my Mum's dump truck; I hate these boss fights. I'll give exception to the Alchemist and the evil Robin Williams impersonator for limiting, or at least contextualising some of my eagle peeves with fun call-backs. But otherwise, do not play this game if you are like me (sorry to hear that), and dislike the following:
    Infinitely spawning adds, and infinitely spawning adds, and infinitely spawning adds, and infinite loops of this joke. And also marathon level health pools so that you can continue to deal with those infinitely spawning adds, and the infinitely spawning adds, and the infini-
    -you get it.
    Boy, do I love not feeling like I'm having an epic fight with a powerful enemy because I'm actually not. I'm just ignoring his few and forgettable mechanics outright and whittling away at his health every once in a while when I'm once again finished entertaining his kids. And by entertaining his kids, I mean murdering them brutally. I'm not holding my punches here because I have no respect for this type of boss design in general, let alone when it's the only thing that connects ALL the bosses together, moreso than the plot ever could!
    Anyway
    Once again, I picked the mage class and was disappointed that I could no longer create a dedicated summoner build like my character in Light of the Torch numero uno. But, I won't begrudge being pushed to try new class builds. Though I must say, I didn't find the leveling to be as fun as the last game. The scaling of the world and enemies is far superior to the bodacious curve of number 1, but at the cost of slower level gains. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I preferred the more rewarding system of the original, especially considering this game is longer so it's a less for more kinda deal. Like how I use less brains for more words on Metacritic than anyone else.
    Adding to this, the abilities feel less unique and varied, and there are fewer spells to find meaning I just wasn't as happy in the roleplay elements as I've been in the past.
    And maybe this is just because of my new, less... inactive playstyle compared to my summoner build but movement and combat just felt way harder to control this time round. The controls really could use an easy to access button that makes your character ignore enemies where your cursor is so you can actually move without your little idiot trying to attack each of the billion enemies covering your screen, while still having your mouse at the ready. Which you cannot.
    All in all, the only thing I can really say about this game is...

    Dejando el tema visual a un lado, en el Gameplay se hace muy intuitivo sobretodo para los que ya estamos pasados de roscas en este género con lo cual se hace muy fácil de manejar.

    Tiene cosas bastante originales, como la importancia que dan a las mascotas y de que manera puedes "buffarlas" mediante los peces que pescas entre otras cosas.

    El apartado sonoro también es de mencionar muy logrado tanto la banda sonora como el sonido ambiental y de combate.

    Torchligth 2 es un ARPG redondo fomenta la exploración de los niveles y te recompensa bien por ello, el mapa se puede cambiar en diferentes partes de la pantalla y la fluidez de movimientos es exquisita.

    Solo voy a decir algo negativo y es la misión de derrotar a Cacklespit que a mí personalmente se me bugeo y jamás pude hacerla.

    This game is a passable Diablo clone. It was fun to play with friends. The game is initially a bit off-putting because it seems like all you do is click on monsters. However, after putting a few hours into the game you gain a bit more variety in your abilities. This allows you to apply some tactics in the combat and it becomes more interesting.

    great art, models. The Bosses are really well done - the palette has great contrast and looks very attractive.

    Story is missable, though the different environments are nice to look at.

    Skills and RPG system is standard particularly from Diablo, though there are a lot of skills, each have their own use, and can be upgraded or leveled over.

    Music is Diablo II with the enchanting guitar themes. They are all really good passages and I did not dislike the music at all -though the boss fights can get repetitive -though the passages were likable.

    I don't have too many complaints with Torchlight II actually and think it's worth a play through for anyone. However late game you will be ruled by knowing what stats you have; not unlike any other good RPG.    … Expand

    My friend and I decided to quit halfway through, finally admitting we were simply not having any fun. There are hack and slash games I have enjoyed in the past (Diablo, Silver, VtM: Redemption, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn to name a few…), but this one pales in comparison.    … Expand

    I really like Torchlight 2. It is very good action RPG. For me to a perfect 10 it lacks only more responsive combat which feels a bit sluggish in comparison to D3, Grimm Dawn or PoE. Its story could have been a bit better too but the story is not something I look for in aRPG games.

    Much like Diablo 2 did, second Torchlight goes for more, bigger, better and... it works! Resulting in a game with a lot more variety, there is a lot to hack and slash here and seems like every aspect of the game has been refined, even if just slightly. Also, there is an alpaca pet. I really think this is very important to mention.

    I absolutely loved the previous game and looked forward to the next iteration with great anticipation and it failed to disappoint. To quote Cartman, this was "hellafun." TL1 was close to perfect and they improved it here. This is what all gaming should be: addictive, inspired and sublime.

    TL 2 is a great gem. It is not so popular, but it is one of the best HacknSlay ever. This game is focused on gameplay and it is perfect: everything fits together: lot of items, many monsters, great character development with a lot of skills, spells, levels, few attributes and even a pet.

Like in Diablo 2 I had a lot of fun to get the next level to improve my character and feel the little improvements. And it is a lot of fun to compare the items and think which one fits better.

    Another big advantage TL 2 has is the great support for mods. So you can change some gameplay mistakes, add many classes and play as you want. I recommend Synergies, Essentials, enhanced retextures, bagmod, and the Far East Pack. There is a limit of 10 mods and it is a great idea, because people are forced to make mod packs, so that users dont need to collect dozens of mods, but just few of them.

    There is only one mistake this game has: the story is simple and the presentation of the story is too cheap. If there were some cinematics and more complex characters, the game would be the #1 of all time. But because of that it is "just" one of the best.    … Expand

    Best ARPG together with the latest version of Diablo III and Titan Quest. Contrary to Diablo III there is no annoying DRM involved. The game offers some wonderful levels and many hours of fun. Some levels feel too generic and the whole story is just plain stupid. Getting sets together is as annoying as in other games. But it's a hell of game, a true gem.

    Is Torchlight 1 in better shape, bigger and deeper, don’t be discouraged by its simplistic graphics, is a huge RPG, addictive and really challenging, it is easy to start but as you progress it demands more attention and develop from your character, and if you want to continue NG+ you really need to know what are you doing, all of this, among the complete mod support makes it literally endless.

The major changeA significant improvement upon its predecessor, Torchlight II is a solid step forward on the road to the ideal ARPG. It's charming art style, overall fast paced gameplay and mostly forgiving features, including a choice of difficulty setting, also make it a good entry point for those new to the genre, as well as offering a good challenge to the experienced dungeon crawler. The major change this time around is the addition of up to six-player cooperative play online, where the first game bizarrely lacked any multiplayer at all. The story is still somewhat sparse, again shoehorning the player into the role of damage control regarding the actions of a villain who, infuriatingly, will always look cooler then your character, and your character has no spoken dialogue with other characters. The classes do however have satisfyingly varied and powerful abilities and the combat feels very chunky, thanks to good sound design, enemies exploding on a critical kill and an overall focus on powerful single attacks. However, this installment inherits some of the first game's biggest problems: you are required to mainline potions to both to stay alive and keep your mana up, you may go hours without finding better gear and the champion monsters are much more powerful then the actual level bosses, sometimes outrageously so. I found myself dying regularly in the final act even on normal, though this costs you nothing should you choose to respawn in town, coupled with a total lack of an item durability mechanic (a huge plus that other games could learn from- I'm looking at you, Diablo 3). In addition, only unique gear is actually flavored towards your class, leaving you looking like a scrappy scavenger for most of your playthrough. You can also only refund your last three skill points spent and cannot redistribute your attribute points at all. Any of the above issues are easily remedied by using the game’s integral mod support or the Rapid Respec editor, the latter of which also allows you to resurrect a dead “hardcore” character. After playing through the game once as an Engineer without mods, I played as an Outlander using several mods, most notably a "double points" mod that gives you 10 attribute and 2 skill points per level, and a mod that scales all enemies and bosses to your current level whenever you enter a different zone. Having the right mod setup really enhances the game experience overall and I recommend giving it a shot as soon as you feel comfortable doing so. The pet system remains very useful, now including the ability to have your pet buy potions and scrolls for you in addition to selling your vendor trash, and this time around it seems your pet can take more then being looked at funny before losing all its health. This game also retains the absolutely enchanting musical talents of Matt Uelman, the music man behind Diablo's equally compelling soundtrack. In spite of its problems, Torchlight II is an excellent title with excellent mods, and well worth your time.… Expand

    I had fun for a few hours watching my alpaca headbutting beasties into corpses and corpses into dust while its pet, a female engineer, displayed her terrible aiming skills with a gigantic wrench.

    Torchlight 2 has a few qualities, yet has kept all the flaws of the genre:
    - Boring loot, with tons of junk, each item with several lines of fraction numbers to compare.
    - Tons of useless consumables
    - Tons of useless features, often 1 disguised as several (like enchantment rites and gem inserts)
    - Tons of useless restrictions
    - Useless merchants, offering nothing you'll want to buy, instead of a good old scrap-monger.
    - Unrewarding rewards (mildly interesting when you are offered a quest, obsolete when obtained)
    - No saving, justified (by other classic design errors like randomising everything) but still Wrong 101.

    Funny that the only frustration from earlier games that the Torchlight series address belonged to RPGs (I'm talking about backtracking to sell loot from limited inventories.) The only Hn'S that address the Hn'S issues (and that I know of) are the DeathSpank games. I can finish a DeathSpank game, but with Torchlight, I always have enough after a few hours in.    … Expand

    Runic’s world is a joy to explore, and a huge improvement over the more basic dungeons of the first Torchlight. We love the frenetic energy of a six-player session, the constant hunt for new and better (and funnier) gear, and we love that the game is a fraction of the price of similar action RPGs. But mostly, we love the pet companions: every action RPG needs a pet that fights for you and sells your junk loot. Man’s best friend indeed.    … Expand

    Finally, buying a sword at the smithy and finding yourself fighting shooting helicopters and industrial machinery is not only boring, it is totally out of context and illogical.

The first hour we delved into it I felt it was the same old game, but it was certainly fun and engaging. The randomized maps that are different, but yet still feel the same add to the atmosphere of the game and add depth. The bosses are fun and somewhat difficult, you need to know where to go and what spells to use at what times. The classes are probably the best part about the game because if everyones a different one it works together perfectly.

    I don't know what else to say about this game, the graphics, style and atmosphere are all unprecedented. The mods added a ton of extra fun to have and PVP made this game a hell of a lot more fun too. If you are looking for a dungeon crawler similar to diablo, for less money but just as good other than the sound and a slight graphical change, buy this game instantly!    … Expand

    It does something, and it does it pretty well. Most importantly, it's really fun! It may get a TAD repetitive at times (still only a tad), but I find this unable to hinder my progress in the game in any way. Buy this game if you have the money, and if you're familiar with other RPG's you could find this fun as well.

    a good single player.
    but heavily bugged on the coop side.
    and it was abandoned too soon after launch.

    with a few patches it might reach a 9. but, at the moment, it's a just a cheap, sufficiently good single player arpg.

    HOW I RATE: 10-9 score: perfect or near-perfect don't exist; 8 score: one of the best games ever. Top score; 7-6 score: great but not one of the best; 5-below score: serious flaws.
    ===========
    The new king of ARPGs. But there is one major flaw with ARPGs and that is gameplay - it becomes EXTREMELY repetitive fast - kill this, kill that!

    I tried this game after hearing so many people praise it over Diablo, and while it is better than I thought, it's still mediocre at best. The cartoonish graphics, I thought, were a great change from the dark and dreary feeling of most dungeon crawlers. The gameplay, however, is nothing more than a long monotonous grind of doing clicking on enemies and using endless amounts of potions.I tried this game after hearing so many people praise it over Diablo, and while it is better than I thought, it's still mediocre at best.

    I actually enjoyed this more than Diablo III, even though TL II might seem like that game's younger sibling (especially because it is full of references to it). Nevertheless, the game offers great and detailed graphics, fast-paced action gameplay and a lot of enticing loot to collect. Add to that the game's modability and you've got yourself some long-lasting fun on your hands.

    I got this game from a steam sale for $5 and I can't believe what I was missing. Honestly I was looking for that Diablo 2 feeling and D3 disappointed me. Once I got this I couldn't believe how fun it was, I mean literally everything is fun, even selling things which can sometimes be a chore is a breeze just by loading up your pet and sending him to town. Awesome Game.

    But Torchlight II is one of the best Games I've ever played. Not only that it is the best DIablo-Clone ever. Also it is the only clone, that's better than the original!

    This is a guideline for how to properly review games. Many reviewers like to get a “feel” for a game, and arbitrarily give a game a score that they believe it deserves. This results in wildly different scores between different reviewers, and vastly different scores between similar games. This guideline addresses these problems and scores games fairly and consistently. This guideline also gives scores that are usually similar to the metacritic score.

    The review score is based out of 10 points. There are no “half” or 0.5 increments. It is impossible to have a score above 10 or below 0. The review score will change as the game gets new dlc, drops in price, or if more secrets are found through the game increasing its appeal.

    The scoring is split into 6 sections. The first five sections can add a possible 2 points to the final score. The first 5 sections are Single Player/Multi Player, Gameplay, Visuals/Story, Accessibility/Longevity, and Pricing.

    Notice that 3 of these sections have two parts. These particular sections will be scored based on the stronger part of the game of the two. For example, if a game has a lousy single player campaign, but an excellent multiplayer component, that section will be based solely on the multiplayer as if the single player did not exist. This allows games to be based on their own merits, as many unnecessary features are shoehorned into video games by publishers to reach a “feature quota”. Games that excel in both areas of a section don’t receive should be noted in the written review, but cannot increase the score past 2 in that section. However, it can be taken into account in the final section

    The final section can add 1, add 0, or subtract 1 to the final score. This final section is the “wildcard” section. This section is for how the reviewer “feels” about the game, but limits this only to this section, rather than the entire 10 point review. This section can include any positive or negative point that was not covered in the previous 5 sections.    … Expand

    Sure, it might not reinvent the wheel as built by Diablo II over a decade ago, but Runic deserves props for perfectly recreating the formula. Many others have tried to bring their own take on Diablo to the market-and failed. Runic didn't, which makes Torchlight II an essential purchase for anyone who loves to crawl through dungeons while scoring phat loot.
