Torchlight 2 Release Date set
#13
I've put five hours into my Engineer that's playing on Elite difficulty and I'm enjoying it. I don't see it being my go-to action rpg, in fact I stopped playing due to wanting to load up Diablo 3 instead. But having an ARPG that's challenging from the very start is a nice change of pace (granted we'll be able to do this in Diablo 3 with the new monster power feature getitng introduced in 1.0.5).

The overly generous loot pinata is just plain fun. I've found tons of set and unique items, and am currently wearing five set pieces. While it being fun, I'm suspecting it's a bit too generous for it to be balanced. But at the moment in elite difficulty it feels right. I can't see myself playing on anything other than the hardest difficulty, and understand how experienced ARPG players would complain about the difficulty if they're playing on anything lower.

Story and characters have been completely forgettable as others have mentioned, so that's one big downside to the game. It really does make the game feel hollow. But most other factors have been enjoyable enough for it not to be a show stopper.

For $20 I've really been enjoying my experience and I believe it'll be a great diversion until Diablo 3 gets patched up with more features.
