(mini-review)

(While I'm aware that my review may rub people the wrong way, I can't in honesty rate this game on the same level as a title like Diablo 3, which has better graphics, a broader storyline, a greater variety of enemies, infinitely more loot, and a significantly more substantive array of modes/quests. (It's not that Torchlight 2 is bad, per se, but simply that it is unimpressive compared to other contemporaries.) Ultimately, Torchlight II is a cutesy, clever, competently made dungeon crawler, but it isn't Diablo 3 and it lacks D3's execution, quality and pedigree in almost every regard.

If you can get it for 5 bucks, go for it. You're probably better off saving up for a $20 copy of Diablo 3 though.

Worth a look.

7/10.
