Titan Quest Reviews
Despite suffering from some unoptimized console controls, bland combat, and boring level design, Titan Quest is a serviceable RPG in the vein of Diablo and Baldur's Gate.
It's not perfect, but with Diablo 4 yet to be officially announced, Titan Quest on console will scratch the loot-based action RPG itch that many gamers may be feeling, albeit with some frustrations along the way.

New Version of Titan Quest has problems in gameplay, combat and graphics and it may feel outdated since the 2006 original game, but we can’t ignore that it is still a fun game that worth playing specially for gamers that didn’t play the original game. Titan Quest has a nice upgrade system and replay value that made an entertaining game, but it could be so much better if the developers did more work on this new version and its improvement.

Titan Quest has a story, setting, and characters that end up being completely forgettable. That said, it fills a gap in the genre offerings on Switch, and if you're looking for something to scratch that itch until something more recent gets announced, it'll fit the bill.
It's a great fit for Switch, where you can idly grind while watching TV or riding the train, or set the console up in tabletop mode for some co-op action wherever you may be (so long as you have another controller handy). Just be ready to fight through a lot of bugs to get to the enjoyment underneath.
Titan Quest unfortunately does not meet the big action RPG fans' expectations, and it has problems in its controls that seriously affect the gameplay, especially when you play against a lot of enemies. Titan Quest is a game recommended to players that aren't expecting a new Diablo and that understand the limitations of the game.

Part of the reason that it is so replayable is that it's easy to tackle a different combat style and level-up path (they're different enough that you'll get a different experience in playing them). Part of the reason is that it's just a joy to wade into a horde of satyrs and get with the slaying, even when you've got the precise moment they'll attack burned into muscle memory.
Titan Quest is an interesting title to review in 2018. It looks good and has transitioned from PC to console fairly well, but the issue is that there are several ARPG on PS4 which play better and have new features that have upgraded the formula. But if you're in the mood for playing a revamped classic on Sony's home console, then you should definitely check this one out – who knows, we might a sequel at some point!
Aside from some of the flaws I've mentioned, Titan Quest is a decent dungeon crawler and a fun port of a classic ARPG. So if you're looking for a game to scratch that action RPG itch on PlayStation 4, Titan Quest is ready for you on physical media as well as digitally.
Eternal Embers can be great fun for hardcore Titan Quest fans. However, despite having all sorts of quick onboarding options Eternal Embers is not the right place to start the whole experience.
Titan Quest is fun for a few hours with a friend, but after that there is no reason to return to the field of battle.
Great action RPGs are filled with compelling reasons to keep coming back for more, and Titan Quest does just that. The combat is fluid, the exploration is fun, and it fills a niche that until now has been unfilled on the Switch. This one should take most gamers many hours to complete.
To sum it all up. Titan Quest is a boring, ugly and downright obnoxious pile of garbage that shouldn’t have even seen the light of day. With nothing really going for it and without even a sense of “its so bad its good” this is the kind of game you should wait till you see it free to play. Even then? i wouldn’t fucking bother. Just go outside. see your family. Maybe even find true love. This just isn’t for gamers or the human race as a whole.
Taking everything into account, including its surprisingly high asking price, and considering the title’s age, Titan Quest on the Switch is simply not a very good deal. I’m trying not to be cynical but given the lack of anything from this general genre on the console this feels like little more than an attempt to capitalize on Diablo fans starved for a shot at even a facsimile of that play in a portable form before something less dated (and hopefully showing more care) arrives. Despite my misgivings with the care and quality of the port this is still a very playable game that offers a reasonably good experience considering there currently are no alternatives. Regardless, given at least one other competitive title that’s planned for Switch in the coming months I’d be more inclined to advocate a “wait and see” attitude and hold out little longer before taking the plunge.
Titan Quest is a fantastic game that is unfortunately poorly realised on consoles. While there's a lot to praise here, it had its time back in 2006 and if it was looking to bring it back it would have to put in a little more effort than just the same game with clunkier gameplay.
I have a fear that the gameplay style of Titan Quest may put off all of those who don't have nostalgia for the title. I imagine it was a case of cater for the fans or cater for the mainstream and with that in mind, I applaud their bravery and courage to stick with the original formula and cater for the fans. As such, this isn't a game for me, but if you liked the original on PC in either 2006 or 2016, then this will certainly be a great remaster/re-release for you.
If you do have a friend with a PS4 and a copy of the game you could spend hours of enjoyment rolling back the years, but otherwise I would just let the past be the past and move on with your gaming life
