Torchlight II

"Art style and branding aside, this is about as direct of a sequel to Diablo II as one could imagine"

"Considering the fact that the game only costs $20, it represents astonishing value because it&s;ll take you dozens of hours to complete and features a lot of replayability. Just don&s;t expect the best story."

"At the risk of sounding overly infatuated, I cannot begin to understand how the hell Torchlight II has aged so well. The art style, combat mechanics, and even loot drop loop are so finely tuned that it feels like the …"

"Torchlight 2 doesn&s;t reinvent the series, but there&s;s an absurd amount more of everything that made the original great."

"A massive action-RPG in a small package. A few misjudged dalliances with the past don&s;t hold it back from a bright future."

"Simply put, Torchlight II is a phenomenal game."

"A leader in the genre, its non-stop action loop hits all the right notes."

"I lost hours and days to this game with a blink. Whether you’re looking for a new ARPG, or just a little more time with an old favorite, Torchlight 2 won’t let you down."

"Torchlight is a good portage of a still good game, and it&s;s great to play it everywhere on your Switch. But unfortunately, it lacks of a local multiplayer mode on one console."

"If you had even the slightest interest in the original Torchlight, or if you&s;re tired of Diablo III but are still itching for some more loot-grabbing RPG action, Torchlight II is well worth the asking price."

"Torchlight II is a great dungeon crawler on Switch even if it doesn&s;t include couch co-op functionality."

"Released at roughly the same time, Torchlight II shows just how much Diablo III has improved since launch, and the level of effort put into its console ports. While Diablo III is absolutely impeccable on console, Torchlight II feels neutered …"

"Probably the best dungeon crawler in the world, including Diablo III. And what it lacks in storytelling and originality it makes up with pitch perfect design and pacing."

"Torchlight II is a fun action-RPG that stapled its inspiration to its sleeves."
