Torchlight II
About
Torchlight II is the second installment in the series, and while it continues the story of its predecessor, it also allows new players to jump right into the action-packed roguelike RPG world. The genre itself is well-established already with giants like Diablo series, but Torchlight offers the fresh experience for veterans and newbies alike.
The steampunk fantasy world lets players enjoy the lush grass of various beautiful environments, the glowing caves filled with mushrooms, and the endless deserts with their treasures! Lots of different enemies always try their best to stop our adventurers from their goal. From every corner there comes danger, only briefly allowing the players to collect their thoughts and dive yet again in battle with evil.
Following Torchlight, the second game starts with chaos erupting from underneath the world. A crazed former hero now takes the lead of hordes of different creatures, and in defeating him and his minions lies the ultimate goal of our new heroes. Take on the mantle of one of the four available classes, and be sure to utilize their might at its fullest. Stay flexible, for the treasure is always surprising, and don’t forget to use your trusty companion as the aid in battle, or as a heavy-packed war mule. Be ready for harsh defeats, or, if you feel like immortal, try the hardest difficulty for the ultimate roguelike challenge. The world of Torchlight is yours to explore!

Torchlight II reviews and comments
Ending was a bit disappointing I must say, all of a sudden you've saved the world and now you can either restart from scratch on a higher level, or look for further mods.
The biggest flaw of Torchlight II, however, is its boss fights. They are dreadfully long depending on the difficulty you select and your build. The endgame is also a bit sparse in the absence of mods, and the legendary gear in the base game pales in comparison to the legendary gear of Diablo 3.
Overall, it's an enjoyable game that has plenty of replay value with mods. Plus, it has near flawless multiplayer integration of both mods and the base game. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good, old-fashioned ARPG to play, but not for anyone looking for more of Diablo 3's arcade-like end-game experience. This game shines with its mods and in trying different builds, not with its endgame.
1. Boring narrative
2. Too easy even on high difficulties
For example - sorcerer class. You may skip all skills except first lightning skill, it will be enough. LOL
