Review: Torchlight 2
[PC RPG Adventure game]
Hands up all those who took a day off when Diablo III launched. Well, unless you’re one of the lucky few, chances are you spent that day staring at a ‘server not found’ message and weeping into your string vest. Personally, we said **** this **** and re-installed Torchlight, a Diablo ‘clone’ that mixes crisp cartoony graphics with the same obsessive loot collection. We loved it when it hit Steam last year but Torchlight came with one glaring omission – no multiplayer mode. Thankfully the developers listened to our woes and now Torchlight II is here, complete with a shiny new online co-op so you can blast your way through with your buddies.
But how does Torchlight II compare with its predecessor? Well, this sequel is bigger and better in pretty much every way, proving as demandingly addictive as Diablo II (for us the peak of the action RPG genre). Better stock up on those Iceland pizzas and tell your other half you’ve got the mumps/influenza/herpes, because you’ll be stuck to your PC for many, many nights...
