The latter looks cool, but when fighting a boss, it’s almost impossible to see what’s happening. The left stick can be used to control your character, and the right stick zooms in on the action. Torchlight 2 on the PC was mouse and keyboard operated, but with the PS4 version, the controller works in lieu perfectly. Poetry isn’t my forte, so I’ll just dumb it down and say it sure looks purdy. While I was looking at the screen, I noticed cloud formations appear as shadows gliding across the landscape. This isn’t on par with say Red Dead Redemption but gratifying nevertheless.Īt the start of the game, I saw a HUD with all the allocated buttons – or where I would allocate them such as items and abilities – and trying to get my bearings. The colours really pop and not someone who pays attention to everything when I review a game (I love a good story, me), the lightning effects were sublime. Yeah, I left the blood option on, but that was pretty cool but messed up the scenery. Bloody hell though my first encounter with an enemy ended in a visceral ball of explosive claret. ![]() The presentation oh so slightly reminds me of the PS3 game Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning. Torchlight 2 is a top-down action RPG with cartoon-like graphics. If not the skill trees, then at least the random loot. Unless you’re double hard, one would assume that most people like to grind in this type of game to level up and unlock the skill trees. As you can go and do as you please, having a prominent narrative would detract from the fun. Much like Baldur’s Gate, so I don’t keep referring to the Diablo, it’s a sandbox in that you go around and do many, many side quests. To be honest, the story isn’t really that important. If you haven’t played that, I highly encourage it. More so, it’s the same people behind The Mark of the Ninja Remastered cutscenes. Best I say it was like Samurai Jack with a palette from a teabag. The opening cutscene was a decent little animation. He needs to be stopped, and that’s where you come in. He’s the antagonist in Torchlight 2 as he’s gone quite mad, searching for a substance called Ember and generally getting up to no good. ![]() Apparently, in Torchlight there was a playable character called The Alchemist.
