While the game had been well loved on its release, including by me, something was wrong. I recently replayed Torchlight II, and found myself embroiled in a confusion of ennui. Torchlight III (T元) feels an awful lot like 2012’s Torchlight II, except massively spaced out, featuring the corner-cuttingiest static cutscenes of all time, with a bunch of leftover F2P ideas that don’t seem to do anything any more.

If I didn’t already know the path it had taken, I’d have spent my entire time playing the game being gnawed at by wondering just what it was that made it all feel so off. Torchlight III feels an awful lot like what it is: a free-to-play multiplayer game that thought better of itself, and decided to become a proper full-price microtransaction-free primarily solo release. One is "This should be fun." The other is "Let's make it interesting." I couldn't help but hear both as the ignored voice of a quiet developer at the back of a Torchlight III planning meeting. Torchlight 3 is an action RPG haunted by the ghost of the F2P game it almost was, and lacks any clear idea of what game it actually wants to be.Īt the end of the first of three acts in Torchlight III, there's a boss character who repeats two of the same barks over and over.
