Critic Reviews for Titan Quest
An admirable ARPG gets lost in a less than thoughtful Switch port.
A certain historical perspective and a touch of nostalgia will go a long way to helping you appreciate Titan Quest and its quirks. That core loop of killing satyrs in four hits before finding rare loot that destroys them in one is as compelling as it ever was. Disappointing visual glitches and the occasional crash give the impression that everything is held together with nothing more than sticky tape and a prayer, but it was never enough to stop us playing. Handheld mode is a massive boon for any RPG and, as long as you're not expecting miracles, this Switch port delivers the core experience well enough to warrant investigation.
A more-than-competent loot-based action RPG with some interesting ideas
An unforgettable memory that, although it may feel outdated since its original release, it is worth being replayed or discovered.

Titan Quest was a reference of Action-RPG. And currently it remains. But the passage of time and a poor adaptation weigh down the experience of this adaptation.

The best similitude I can make regarding the remastered version of Titan Quest is that of a game that attempts to sneak into an era that has long passed it by. While a minimal amount of enjoyment can be had listening to the wayfarers and tradesmen across the many worlds that the hero visits, there are too many problems that stem from the game's now ancient design. While titles like Shadow of the Colossus can confidently hold their own in a decade that they were not intended for, it may be a bittersweet sign of the swift progression in the industry that most titles are just not good enough anymore.
Terrible controls, outdated gameplay with a bad loot drop system and many bugs make Console Edition of Titan Quest a mess.
Review in Russian |
At the end of the day, it's Titan Quest. For those that have never played it, they may either love it or hate it depending on how well they adapt to the grid-based movement. Fans of the original 2006 release who are looking to try the game out again will have a fun time here. While it's not the best port of a PC action RPG, it has the makings of a fun time with up to five buddies online.
