    If you want some cheap action RPG goodness, by all means pick it up. But you’re not going to be shouting about it from the hilltops.

I think my friend got sick of me hogging his PC though because I did sink quite a few hours into it but it was that addictive that I couldn’t help myself. I was hoping then that the game would finally release on console and to my excitement it finally has and even though it’s only 7 years old it could’ve aged badly but thankfully that’s not the case here. Instead it’s just as addictive as I remember but this time I own it instead of using my friends PC to play it so I can sink as many hours into it as I want to and believe me I’ve already put plenty of time into it without any boredom kicking in at all. One of the biggest reasons why you have to get this game is down to its very cheap price because for the very low price of £16.74/$20 you get an amazing amount of value for your money with tons of replayability present throughout. Obviously the cheap price doesn’t mean that the game will be good but that’s not the case here because Torchlight II is very good and whilst you can draw comparisons to that of the Diablo franchise it definitely still has its own unique identity. A lot and you’re introduced to something it gets right immediately because both the art style and sound design are pretty much flawless. The gameplay is pretty much flawless as well with RPG elements mixing in with the hack and slash combat perfectly and with the added bonus of tons of loot wherever you turn here lies Torchlight II’s addictive edge and it doesn’t seem to let go no matter how long you play. It’s a good job then that the game has an almost endless amount of content so expect to give up quite a few hours of your life in the coming months. Was Torchlight II worth the wait for Xbox owners? Absolutely. With lots of variety and plenty to see and explore you’ll probably put about 7 years of gaming into it which in turn makes up for that long wait. Joking apart though Torchlight II definitely deserves to be up there with the best games in this particular genre and even if you only have slight interest in these types of games then this game needs to be right at the top of your list.… Full Review »
