Titan Quest Anniversary Edition

I'll start off by simply stating that I only played through a very short amount of the content this game has to offer. This is primarily because the game offered me a seemingly dull and routine experience that didn't deviate too much from the arpg formula. While I was playing this game, I kept thinking about how enjoyable Diablo 2 and Torchlight 2 were compared to Titan Quest. In fact, I wanted to play those instead so I eventually jumped ship and began a new Diablo 2 playthrough.

I just wanted to add my two cents. I have put in two hours on this game when I should be sleeping. The reason for this is that it is a fun game with beautiful scenery. It is definately a gem and if you like hack and slash with quests and sidequests then you will also love it. Everyone prior to me has said pretty much what I think of the game and since my grammar sucks I will stop here and say that you should just buy the game and will not be dissapointed.

Titan Quest is a fabulous ARPG which revolves around the ancient mythology of Greece, Egypt and the Far East. It's uncomplicated in its gameplay, whilst containing beautiful scenary, a stunning soundtrack and a vast array of creatures to combat. The skill tree system (you pick up to two 'masteries', which unlocks access to a wide range of skills) enables the player to fine-tune their characters, which accounts for the RPG aspect of the game. Weapons and armour are varied, and many coincide with the skills you pick; their stats can improved through the use of relics, which are tokens dropped by monsters. These relics can be combined together to produce more powerful versions, which bring special bonuses to statistics and are also used to produce 'artifacts' once you find the appropriate formulas. I didn't really create too many of these during my playthrough, and as many 'greater' artifacts seem to require 'lesser' artifacts in their formulas, chances are you'll probably need to either return to previous areas to farm relics or replay the game at a higher difficulty level to create them. My only real gripe is the lack of a penalty after death - you lose some experience points (which you can reclaim once to return to your death point), and respawn back at your last 'checkpoint' (in the form of respawn fountains dotted around the environment). However, I guess this adds to the casual nature of the game - its real strength is that you can pick it up, slay some beasts, complete some quests and not have to worry about failing! High recommended.

Titan Quest is a classic. Everybody knows that. It added an interesting setting for its time especially before LOKI which was far more polished than this game. Here are the points you need to know if you're, like me, addicted to this kind of game: - Very nice set up and bestiary. The dubbing is excellent and dialogues are really well done. But lacks the possibility to choose different answers/ paths in quests. - 8 Masteries/ Classes to choose from. Beware you can fail your character construction. Plan your progression wisely. Statistics are a bit too simple to manage. Health, Mana, Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity... each class need 2 stats or 3. Also nearly every magic school has a cool companion to summon. A very good point for some that are based on direct damages and area of effects. - Returning to villages/locations to resupply and selling gear is very easy. The portal stone is a marvelous item. Only inventory management is a bit tedious due to lack of space/ size of items in general. - Clear and simple, the interface leaves not much place for mistakes. My only regret is some controls that don’t respond immediately like one of the most useful: the quick pick up key. - Beautiful game with a night/day circle. Environments are varied. Lacks character body/face customization. You can only dye your basic tunic with 6 colors. - Excellent Multiplayer. Classes were tailored to be played with other players. Many buffs, restorative effects, traps and other companions can do nice synergies. Noticeable in front of the increased difficulty in multiplayer. - The difficulty setting is a bad point in solo. You can't select a higher one if you didn't finish the game previously. If you're used to this kind of game, first hours will be rather boring. -Huge life span due to countless sets and items, huge zones to explore. Higher difficulties hide some great moments. Boss fights are good. -Wizards are all funny to play... maybe too much compared to others.
