Then there’s the usual range of glitches and rarely even crashes. New Game +1 becomes +2 and so on, meaning everything gets harder, but you remain the same and all quest progress is lost. Every time you exit the game after starting it, the next time you re-enter the game difficulty is increased +1. One of the nastiest bugs is with the New Game + mode.

Online barely functions, with full connection losses common. The UI has a few visual glitches where the wrong tool-tip pops up for the chosen attribute which can be annoying while assigning your hard earned points. A variety of skills, especially movement based ones such as the Embermage’s teleport or the Outlander’s leap either glitch out or simply don’t work.
The problem is, far too often you’re required to fight the game in order to enjoy it. Gameplay is fun in short bursts and when fighting new, major bosses, but the grind often feels like more of a chore than an exciting path forward. It’s certainly nowhere near as unplayable as the Titan Quest port was, for sure. It is still technically fully playable, even fun. Sadly, after plenty of time with this console port, broken is the word that comes to mind. This game came out at the time when every game had fishing. It’s not exactly broken, but there are far too many issues that bring the gameplay down. Sadly, despite how great a game Torchlight II truly is, this port veers far too often towards the former over the latter. Then there’s the Diablo III/ Pillars of Eternity approach with smooth performance, wholly rebuilt UI’s and controls, and every piece of content ever released packed in. The game is a little hard to get used to but after a while you will get used to it. There’s the Titan Quest/ Cities: Skylines approach with optimization issues, UIs and controls that don’t work as well as they need to, and content left out to resell later. Torchlight II sound design is decent, as a whole package the sounds all work great together individually they all stand the test of time. The graphics are amazing and the storyline is very interesting.

There are two ways to handle PC to Console ports. Enemies have a way of being connected to the environment in ways that, while. The world itself feels much more cohesive than the story. Yet at it’s long awaited console release, it’s Diablo III that has the upper hand. Torchlight II is a fine example understated art direction. It came out at the perfect time to capitalize on that disappointment, with its shameless and proud adherence to the standards of the genre a strong contrast to vanilla Diablo III’s perversion of it. When Torchlight II originally released on PC all the way back in 2012, it was after Diablo III had released to near universal dismay.
