About Torchlight II

Torchlight II features randomly generated dungeons and numerous types of monsters to fight for loot. Torchlight II is an action RPG as its predecessor, but features overland areas with multiple hub towns, and a longer campaign. Players are able to customize character appearance with choice of sex, face, hair style and hair color. Additionally, several elements from the first game return, such as pets and fishing.
The game features four playable character classes. Each class has 3 skill trees to choose from which enable customization within each class.

Does anyone else think the ranking rewards how easy it is to pick up rather than how deep it actually goes, or is that just how loot games work in general…

    Does anyone else think the ranking rewards how easy it is to pick up rather than how deep it actually goes, or is that just how loot games work in general, genuinely curious?

    Je me souviens avoir eu cette même impression en y jouant le soir sur le canapé, l'aspect facile d'accès rendait tout plus fluide, mais je ne suis pas sûr que ça explique tout le classement à lui seul.

  2. Iron_Shields

    Is it fair to judge a loot grinder against games built around story and combat depth? I loved my time with it, but I keep wondering if the comparison itself is the problem here.

    al final el ranking mide horas jugadas con placer, no complejidad narrativa, y ahí gana igual.

    Good loot, weak story. Fine for a while, wears thin past the halfway mark.

    NeonKnight12

    Ce sont les temps de chargement que je retiens, curieusement, plus que le loot lui-même.

    Carpentier2010

    Ce que je retiens surtout, c'est qu'il n'a jamais cherché à rivaliser avec Dark Souls II sur son terrain, et ce refus de rivaliser, au fond, en dit plus sur le classement que sur le jeu lui-même.

  4. NovaWolf1994

    I feel like it gets ranked on charm more than substance, though maybe I just never sank enough hours into the build variety to see it.

  5. ArcadeLegend3

    Solid loot game, but solid isn't enough at this level, solid gets you exactly here.

    Homenick28

    If solid gets you exactly here, what would it take to move up, more depth in the loot itself or just better opponents in the bracket?
