Time Spent:

40 to 100 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Just plain fun"

I didn't play the first Torchlight, but played Diablo / Diablo 2 / Diablo 3 massively. I must say the story is weak but the fun is good.
That's what count the most, the pro's: *** Fast action packed *** Pet with spells / loot bringing back to town is a nice feature *** Side quests and secret rooms *** map playing after beating game + new game plus *** level increase + difficulty balance *** boss battles *** a lot of little adjustments to do, like socketing gems etc. / enhance items *** value for the money you paid ***
Also this game has some con's of-course: *** sometimes fps drop a lot if much is happening *** sometimes items / gold gets stuck somewhere you can't reach *** damage peaks mostly from some champs where one hit can kill ya instant *** no re-spec option since the skill tree is to big to make the right decisions right away *** some skills are to OP or just weak, could use more balance and more syn-energies *** longevity won't be so long as others like D3 imo, but with mods it could be increased a bit ***
