The added size of Torchlight 2 makes it feel like quite the slog compared to the first game but the charming design is still there and it's still pretty fun to throw fireballs at hordes at enemies
What if the last game was 200 hours too long and also a money making scene. Also they made Shelob a hot woman? Idk if you really want more of this thing it exists but for sure play the original fist, it's far better.
Easily a 4 star game but oh my god the amount of times you have to drive halfway across the city to then drive a boat through the bayou Christ. Incredible last hour though.
I really dislike playing it but really like 90% of everything else going on with it. In particular the concept of spending years in the same place over a long period of time is fantastic and it's shocking more games haven't experimented with the idea
Turning it into an auto playing dungeon crawler via meticulous setup is phonemically and the art direction is top notch. Everything else is pretty standard for a Final Fantasy however with the plot being notably average
