    Could be an honest mobile game but being on PS4 it's a complete disaster.
    Gameplay is really slow, customisation is a joke.. if you only have FOUR classes you better have some serious skill trees, but we're ages from that.
    This game is so limited it feels like a ripoff, they planned for T2 fans like me to buy it on trust and the result is a shame. Will ask for refund.

    Everything has been removed that was good from the old Torchlight games. All the complexities gone the attractiveness of the characters the bombastic movesets now it's all shallow as a puddle and boring as watching paint dry. Play the first and second game they still hold up today and they're 100 times better than this.

    Spent a few hours having a decent amount of fun and got to level 20. Logged out one night, logged back in the next day and every piece of gear my character was wearing is gone. This game is trash XD how does something like that even happen. What happened to the devs who made torchlight 2!? Because this isn't them.

    After 40 or so hours with the game, ending with a game-breaking bug that halted my progress. I can say without a doubt, do not buy this game on PS4. I can't progress the story at all now. So my lvl 45 character is useless and I refuse to start a new one and invest more time with the game in it's current condition.

So my lvl 45 character is useless and I refuse to start a new one and invest more time with the game in it's current condition.

    Here are just a few problems I have encountered while attempting to get through this game. (There are SO many more.)

    - Multiple freezes. Both in game and in menu. (Usually on contracts page.)

    - Half of entire maps not spawning in at all. Just empty blue space. It looks like blue space with heat signatures of yourself, pets and enemies. Like predator vision. (I have to use the mini-map to guide me through and die a lot because I can't see the ground effects.)

    - Audio completely gone for hours with just a small amount of ambient noise being left behind. Random high-pitch screeching static during this time. (Scares my dogs.)

    - Pet completely disappears. Not dead or sent to town. Just gone. Have to go to fort and switch pets over and over until one will follow you back to a zone.

    - Dying with no enemies or traps around for zero reason. Just drop dead from full HP with nothing around you.

    - Pet buffs not working despite the pet being with you.

    - Abilities just passing through enemies without damaging them at all. (Scout's Bones for ex.)

    - Trophies not unlocking. (Money Tree for ex.)

    - Horrible framerate. So bad that I just assume my game is about to freeze but I usually just end up dead because of the response time combined with deadly ground effects.

    I would say that I am shocked that they released the game in this state but I am not. It seems to be the way the industry works these days. They care nothing whatsoever about the customers who spend their hard-earned money on their full price game. Only to find out that the game is almost unplayable and will probably never be fixed. This company should be ashamed of themselves.    … Expand

    Чтобы не быть многословным, я хочу отговорить всех, кто обдумывает покупку этой игры, по скидке, ибо и по скидке эта игра не стоит своих денег.
    Мне очень жаль, что я потратил деньги, мне жаль что вместо этой 3-й части, я могу взять 2-ю, но решил что 3-ая даст новый exp`иенс.
    Боевка скучная, локации не сказать что разношёрстные, они линейно не запоминающийся.    Чтобы не быть многословным, я хочу отговорить всех, кто обдумывает покупку этой игры, по скидке, ибо и по скидке эта игра не стоит своих денег.

    Not sure what to say beyond that I feel this is a medium game with medium experiences. The gameplay feels very slow compared to similar games.

    I want this game to be better but in all honesty it isnt. Even 2021 there are still bugs in this game that feel like basic stuff and the game also misses lots of quality of life improvements. The visuals are okay but even for Torchlight style it could be a bit more crispy. Loading times on PS5 were extremely fast but I recall people having issues with that on PS4 so check it out first ifI want this game to be better but in all honesty it isnt.

The visuals are okay but even for Torchlight style it could be a bit more crispy. Loading times on PS5 were extremely fast but I recall people having issues with that on PS4 so check it out first if this might be your targeted system. On playthrough I had one frame dip and no bluescreen.

    The gameplay is a typical Diablo clone loop but it is worse in every part to the genre king. The skilltrees are absolutely horrible and no use friendly at all. The loot is very basic, feels like 20 items that are rotated through rarity and level progression. Level and money progression is really awkward. Every kill even on endgame grants like 1-2gold and the same amount of exp, which is honestly absolutely demotivating and weird. Money gain in general is very painful. Even without buying a lot I gained maybe 100k - on a sidenote there is a trophy for 1mil, so make your own mind on this.

    The areas have certain variety, so do the monsters but the gameplay is kind of slow and boring so that the variety feels like just not enough, although the ideas are not bad in general and the bosses are well designed. After all the final fight made me laugh a bit. If you ever played Diablo you will know why. After all I think that is former genre
    veterans might need some fresh ideas or consider joining a bigger studio again. The whole multiplayer-fort aspects seemed far-fetched and badly implemented. It does not make much of sense and it feels like someone wanted this to be a multiplayer service game to live longer and bring more money. I think if they concentrated on a solo game from the beginning on the game would ve been a lot better.

    The game can be recommendable if you have that Diablo itch but it can be only seen as a casual filler and is only worth for a discount of at least 50-70%.    … Expand

    For all intents and purposes, Torchlight 3 seems like it’s an action RPG struggling to find its identity. It feels generic, repetitive and boring, and comparing it to earlier, superior Torchlight titles does it no favors. Pretty colors aren’t enough to save this one from oblivion, especially with so much quality competition out there.

    Ultimately, Torchlight III is a game of simple pleasures. Simple gatherings with friends to take out enemies for greater loot. A simple, easy-going story that helps the game flow along faster. Simply going through just one more dungeon to have fun in and use the hero created to rain destruction down for better gear, and do it all over again. If something simple and fun that can be taken in small doses is what players are looking for then Torchlight III fits the bill. However, many may wish to wait for some big patches to fix the issues with multiplayer before getting too invested, or just take a favorite hero through the single-player campaign or a Dun’Djinn until the game lives up to its full potential.

    Torchlight III is an RPG that leaves a lot to be desired, especially for those who know the genre very well with games like Diablo. It is obvious that its development is not 100% finished, and it lacks several months of polishing. However, Torchlight III can be fun, but you have to be able to ignore its constant problems.
