Critic Reviews for Torchlight III
Torchlight 3 does a great job with its class design, but the world feels barren and unfinished.
A simple and no-frills action/RPG that ticks all the boxes, so you can keep clicking the monsters.
Torchlight III doesn't bring anything new to the looter dungeon crawler and that's okay.
Torchlight III is the sort of game that we can only describe as genre filler. It does absolutely everything that you would expect of an ARPG, and it often does these things extremely well, but it also doesn't do anything particularly interesting or revelatory. Those of you that love a good ARPG will find plenty to love here, then, just don't come into it expecting to be blown away by anything on offer. And while we'd sooner recommend that interested newcomers jump on Diablo III for their first experience, it's pretty tough to go wrong with Torchlight III. Despite some of its shortcomings, Torchlight III is a rewarding experience that we'd say is certainly worth your time.
Though it has fun gameplay and unique character classes, Torchlight III doesn't do much to progress the franchise to attract a new audience.
Torchlight III is a disappointment. It has good production values and gives a good first impression, but it just lacks depth in so many areas. The loot and skill systems are boring, and there's not enough variety as you're pushed into crowds of enemies with shallow explanations for why you have to go through. There's very little really to recommend here when its biggest competitor is now so old and cheap.
A colourful, loot-orientated action role-player let down by over-simplified systems and levelling up that often feels inconsequential.
Though the experience is hampered by bugs, glitches, and a few design issues, the snappy and moreish combat, the treasure trove of stats and skills, and the delightfully chaotic co-op play make Torchlight 3 a must-have for anyone looking for more ARPG goodness.
