Torchlight III

"The Torchlight series, a fantastic series of ARPGs is finally back with the newest entry, Torchlight 3. Originally, this game was planned as a free-to-play shared-world game titled Torchlight: Frontiers. The game is a pretty bog-standard ARPG, but a few …"

"Deep down, Torchlight III could be a great game. If the developers revamp the map and UI issues I pointed out I&s;d be over the moon. But in its current state I can&s;t in good conscious tell you to pay …"

"If you are new to the Torchlight franchise then Torchlight III is an excellent jumping on point. At $30 it&s;s a great binge game to play with friends while we all wait on the next-gen onslaught that&s;s just around the …"

"Torchlight III doesn&s;t bring anything new to the looter dungeon crawler and that&s;s okay."

"Torchlight III is fine but only if you don&s;t have too many expectations. Ignoring the many elements of the old free-to-play formula that still remain, the game is relatively unchanged from the first and second entries, which can disappoint those …"

"The bugs can be corrected, even though the patches seem to not really deal with them. But the main problem is the peculiar concept choices, the serious lack of variety, and the feeling that you are investing time and effort …"

"Torchlight III is stuck in between what it is and what it could have been in its MMO days. The final overcome is, unfortunately, everything but unforgettable."

"Torchlight 3 will scratch any basic RPG itch for adventure, loot, and fantasy, but even with a heckin&s; doggo sidekick at its side, it feels a bit too old-fashioned to stand out from the rest of the pack."

"Everything Torchlight III does, it does worse than one of its contemporaries. Primarily Diablo. While what is here looks good and plays fine, it&s;s repetitive and lacks the magic of games it shares a genre with. But all of that …"

"Torchlight III is a strange one – it comes with some good ideas but falters in others."

"Torchlight 3 offers a solid foundation of ARPG goodness, but the balance of loot drops and progression feel off to the point where long sections of the game feel interminable. When everything is clicking, players can destroy waves of bad …"

"Even if you are absolutely desperate for a new action RPG experience, you are probably better off rolling up another character in Torchlight II or Grim Dawn over buying Torchlight III in its current form."

"Torchlight III is a disappointment. It has good production values and gives a good first impression, but it just lacks depth in so many areas. The loot and skill systems are boring, and there&s;s not enough variety as you&s;re pushed …"

"Torchlight 3 is the best game in the series, but the new additions may not be worth the hefty asking price."

"Torchlight III started life as a free-to-play title, and by all accounts it shows. It won&s;t bore you, but it&s;s just not engaging enough to become your next gaming obsession."

"Torchlight III still suffers from many issues that have been present since its Early Access stage, including a middling endgame and bland core gameplay loop. Worse, its restrictions on character builds and relic usage lead to a lack of experimentation …"

"There isn&s;t much for me to love or hate here. Torchlight III is a slow burn, one that struggles to stand out like its predecessors did back when this genre wasn&s;t nearly as stacked with great competitors."

"Still even with these shortcomings Torchlight III is a solid ARPG that will please anyone who decides to take the plunge. I enjoyed the hours I got from it, and loved playing with friends online. I had a hard time …"

"This is the same old Torchlight, but somewhat diminished. Classes are full of character and lots of fun to play, while Relic abilities encourage experimentation and significantly change combat. However, there&s;s nothing especially new or exciting about this third instalment."

"Though it has fun gameplay and unique character classes, Torchlight III doesn&s;t do much to progress the franchise to attract a new audience."

"It’s a shame, because there are elements of an enjoyable co-op adventure here that still kept us playing over several nights. At the end of the day, it all just felt a little bit soulless; ticking the boxes of what …"

"Torchlight 3 does a great job with its class design, but the world feels barren and unfinished."

"Enjoyment hinges on what you&s;re looking for in an RPG. If you want a great story that has tons of metrics to pay attention to, this really isn&s;t that. Torchlight III is essentially a basic RPG that has a lot …"

"Torchlight III is an imperfect but endearing action RPG whose great boss fights and enjoyable special skills clash with the noticeable relics of a freemium experience."

"A simple and no-frills action/RPG that ticks all the boxes, so you can keep clicking the monsters."

"Torchlight III is the sort of game that we can only describe as genre filler. It does absolutely everything that you would expect of an ARPG, and it often does these things extremely well, but it also doesn&s;t do anything …"

"The gameplay design of Torchlight III is fun and motivating, but it has some deeper flaws that need to be addressed. Players must have a balance of difficulty and challenge. Giving players too much advantage at the beginning and overpowering …"

"Just in terms of the big picture of the overall experience Torchlight 3 has sort of a Frankensteined-together feel, lacking in cohesion and polish. Given the presence of not only Diablo on the platform, but other strong contenders like Victor …"

"Torchlight 3 suffers from the decisions made in its development. It is a good ARPG but does not stand out at all."

"Torchlight III is a decent action RPG with plenty to do but with a side of repetitive quests and some glitches."

"Torchlight III feels watered down compared to its contemporaries, and worse, its predecessors. The loot is as plentiful as it is unsatisfying. The monsters are a deluge of health bars, removing all sense of threat or purpose. The characters feel …"

"Torchlight III is an enjoyable game but is also a bit more simplified than the previous entry in the series. While the Relic system brings some new ways to customize your character, the lack of a regular flowing of skill …"

"Torchlight III is a lighthearted, simple co-op ARPG that might provide some fun to casual ARPG players or serious fans of the series, but doesn&s;t do much else to justify its existence."

"Though the experience is hampered by bugs, glitches, and a few design issues, the snappy and moreish combat, the treasure trove of stats and skills, and the delightfully chaotic co-op play make Torchlight 3 a must-have for anyone looking for …"

"Torchlight III, while clearly wearing the franchise&s;s skin like a badge of honor, never hits the marks of the previous entries. This is a very basic ARPG that frequently shows its free-to-play roots, and in a market overflowing with action-packed …"

"Torchlight is a beloved dungeon-crawler that has carved out a place in the competitive genre. With a bright art style and story, it stands apart from its edgier cousins like Diablo and Path of Exile. The good news is that …"
