    Status: Currently unplayable. Stay away. Patches have fixed some issues but not all.

    It's a beloved old ARPG from the times between Diablo II and III that got a remaster on PC and was ported to consoles. I remember playing it a decade ago and having fun.

    Now, with all those things considered, when played as a PS4 title, you have to know that's a remaster of a 12yo game, and it looks dated, despite the coat of new paint. But something that for the life of me cannot fathom, is how they messed up the controls so badly. Movement now works okay, but the targeting is beyond horrible. Instead of the Diablo III strategy of just pressing a button to attack, the game autotargets an enemy at their own whim, despite you standing next to another enemy, and you can only attack that one. You can switch targets, but in an extremely clunky way. Why they decided to go with that instead of attacking what's right beside you is beyond me. I mean, if you already copied Diablo, at least copy their controls, which I find more comfortable on console than on PC.

    The devs are aware of that, and more fixes are on the way. This review is subject to change accordingly. So far, I can only recommend to play the PC version until they fix that mess. It's a fun little ARPG, totally worth the price.    … Expand

    pretty decent ARPG with minor bugs and controls that need some practising ,aside from that it's a great game,with deep combat and story,and while it is remastered to ps4 you still feel that it is an old game which may scare off some people,still i recommend it for ARPG fans

    Titan Quest is a 12-year-old PC game. It's a Diablo clone which dates from the time after Diablo 2, when there was no Diablo 3 on the horizon, people wanted more Diablo, and many devs sought to fill that void with their own Diablo clones.

    Titan Quest was one of the better Diablo clones, with a nice Greek mythology setting (granting it the ready-made, comfortably-familiar bestiary and    Titan Quest is a 12-year-old PC game. It's a Diablo clone which dates from the time after Diablo 2, when there was no Diablo 3 on the horizon, people wanted more Diablo, and many devs sought to fill that void with their own Diablo clones.

    Titan Quest was one of the better Diablo clones, with a nice Greek mythology setting (granting it the ready-made, comfortably-familiar bestiary and lore that goes with that) and the same simple but compelling gameplay loop of receiving quests, revealing maps, clicking on lots of monsters until they die, looting their corpses, levelling-up, and repeating. It's a fondly-remembered game on PC, and the PS4 game is the recent "remastered" version that updated the graphics and incorporated the PC game's expansion.

    The PS4 port by Black Forest Games (of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams and, er, Bubsy fame) unfortunately fumbles the move to consoles quite badly. The frame-rate is iffy, the text-size is painfully tiny, but the biggest problem is the controls.

    Devs like Runic (Torchlight) and Blizzard (Diablo) have produced excellent console ports of exactly this same genre of game, translating the mouse and keyboard controls to joypad with an elegance that made owners of the PC originals want the option of joypad control adding to their versions. Sadly, the same can't be said of Titan Quest.

    A recent patch has addressed some of the issues that you'll see mentioned in the reviews. Your character no longer takes a moment to start moving, and no longer continues walking for a moment after you release the direction, and the analog-stick movement controls feel better for it.

    However, the targetting is still a mess. If you press attack, your character attempts to pick a target - and, more often than not, runs past several closer enemies to get to the further-away one that he's chosen to attack. Typically for this genre, there are many situations where you'll want to take out certain targets as a priority (monster-generators, etc) and the game's messed-up auto-targetting choices will fight you every step of the way. There IS a manual targetting option, where you hold attack and point a targetting "cone" in the direction of the enemy that you want your character to attack, but it's an inelegant solution and the game still rarely targets the enemy you had in mind. It's a shame the devs felt the need to reinvent the wheel (badly) because Torchlight and Diablo III had no such problems with joypad controls, and those games always seemed to intuitively target the right enemies.

    So, what you have here is a fairly straight-up port of an old(-ish) PC game that's showing its age in various ways (design, environment interactivity, graphics, etc), which hasn't been tweaked in any way to cater for console gamers (that text-size!), and which has had the translation of its controls fumbled quite badly.

    It's a game that's basically all about fighting, but which has a broken targetting system that makes fighting a frustrating exercise in watching your character run halfway across the screen to attack the wrong enemy instead of the simple pleasure it ought to be. There's a chance the targetting could be fixed in a further patch, but the bottom line is: you're better off playing this on PC if that's an option.    … Expand

    Мне понравилось. Есть баги, лёгкие подвисания, но они не критичны. Играбельно. По крайней мере лучше чем в PoE. А вот с сюжетом не понятно, прошёл уже больше половины а вьехать в сюжет ее могу... бегаю спасаю, и на этом всё.

    What a nostalgic moment. Played this 15 years ago when it came out, and even today it's probably the only isometric hack-and-slash ARPG that can compete with Diablo 2. The 3 large DLCs have increased the size of an already good sized game to an enormous level, so there's a lot here to do.

    On the downside. The console version has a terrible aiming system. Truly the worst. The game    What a nostalgic moment.

    On the downside. The console version has a terrible aiming system. Truly the worst. The game crashed several times. A couple of quests seemed to be bugged and didn't give out the proper stat bonus rewards. Too much backtracking and time spent running around for quests. One of the trophies was bugged so that it's seemingly impossible to obtain. An 8/10 game brought down to 6/10 because of a dodgy port.    … Expand

    Aside from Diablo itself, the clones of the genre have largely slid right back into mediocrity, and I have to hope that a new Titan Quest could be the shot in the arm that can revitalise the interest that genre fans have in it, outside of Diablo.

    This new release -- cosmetically better but lacking the overhaul that would really help the game stand up to current titles -- doesn't go far enough. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a cynical cash-grab, but I am disappointed that it not only fails to make the original Titan Quest experience much better, it adds some additional flaws and strips away some of the potential for enjoyment.

    Titan Quest was a reference of action-RPG. And currently it remains. But the passage of time and a poor adaptation weigh down the experience of this adaptation.
