Torchlight 2 still fun to play 5 days later
Torchlight 2 is exactly what I wanted. (Sorry, Blizz, you guys didn’t even come close.)
I’ve been playing solo for some 25 hours on Normal difficulty with a very generic  “hit things till they stop moving” type Engineer, and so far I’m still enjoying it.
I’ve died two or three times, so I wouldn’t say Normal difficulty is a total cakewalk… The mix of enemies is entertaining and the environments are pretty nifty. I’m still wondering what will happen when I randomize the dungeons… will most of these areas look strangely familiar?
When battles get chaotic the frame rate suffers a bit, but I have this ancient AMD processor so that’s hardly surprising. I can only imagine that it suffers a lot more with a multiplayer game. Of course, when there’s enough going on to slow the system down, it’s pretty hard to see what’s going on anyway… lots and lots of things blowing up all at once.
I think that sums it up. Lots and lots of things blowing up all at once. In pretty colors. With a big wrench and lots of other weapons. And lots of different kinds of enemies to hit. It’s the Ratchet and Clank formula, but top down.
See? I managed to compare it to a game that wasn’t Diablo. So there!
