Titan Quest Anniversary Edition

After all this time, it still does not get boring.

I never played the original Titan Quest, but got this version on a whim. It is the blatant Diablo 2 clone it looks like, but just as enjoyable as the original and different enough to be its own game and not just an imitation. First, the setting: I was a bit sceptical about the game taking place not in a made-up Fantasy world but in historical Antiquity, with mythology-based monsters. But the game creators did their research - they did take some freedoms, obviously, but the world does feel quite authentic, and this makes for a refreshing change for the player. Second, the class system: I was a bit irritated when I did not get to chose a class at beginning, still was confused when I got to select a "mastery" at my first level-up and finally got it when I reached level 8 and had the option to add a second mastery. In this game, you select a class by chosing two masteries, each of which has an extensive skill set. With nine masteries, that is a lot of options, and as far as I can tell every possible combination is viable for playing. Of course, some combinations will be easier than others, but they all work, and all of them are fun. And "fun" is very much the key word here - Titan Quest is not a game which will challenge you intellectually, but if Action RPGs have any kind of appeal for you, chances are you will love this. I certainly did (and still do!). The amount of classes gives a high replayability, and there is lot of loot to discover, too - not just the usual epic and legendary items, but Titan Quest has something called "monster infrequents", special items that drop from a specific kind of monster and which just beg to be farmed. The only issue I have is that there is no character customization beyond male and female. Especially with the amount of different characters your are likely to end up creating, it would have been nice to have more differentiation. But that is admittedly a minor niggle, and overall this may very well be the best ARPG ever.

Try them all even also Grim Dawn but i keep coming back to TQ my all time favorite Action RPG.

After 400+ Hours, it still stands up as the best ARPG , make sure you download the TQvault and start collecting the massive amount of unique loot. 5 STARS

Though some flaws, this is one of the all-time greats. I play w/o any mods, and still I love it. This was an incredible game when it was originally released, and holds up to the test of time, at least for me. I play it every so often, and for long spans of time. I've several characters in their level 60's 70's and 80's by now, and while I love playing them, developing new characters continues to be a blast. Highly recommend!
