Titan Quest Anniversary Edition

This game was build in times of 32bit world and it shows. Sample: you go back to town via portal and when you return stuff appears new - shrines, enemies, drops - all of which you die not even know existed. Stuttering and other problems point to the same history and make this game resistent to repairs. Improvements into such an old game requires deep knowledge, but the devs of this game moved on or retired - not much chance to get needed patches or improvements. The ancient lore history makes it easy to connect to the game lore. The amount of masteries available (including the additional DLCs, which improved and upgraded the system - and are required if you don't stuck to this game) give you more than 50 classes to play (most dual masteries, but each mastery can be played as single as well). Some of this classes are easy, others not. But you can find the style that fits your way to play. My summary: rusty, not perfect, but still worth playing. I still do AND love it!

I played the original release, I am excited to play the Anniversary Edition and DLC's leading up to the second installment.

its great just need some friends now to play it

It's great that the devs kept working on this game so long after release. Too bad they neglected to check if their changes had side effects. Like, say, making the "final" boss unkillable for melee characters. And that's what Typhon is, unkillable. The age of the game also means that wikis, guides and forum threads are hopelessly obsolete, and expect a lot of equally out-of-date fanboys telling you how they one-shotted him easily and how much you suck at the game. Shame, really. The game is very fun up to Typhon, the setting is amazing. However, using skills can be weirdly clunky and unresponsive at times. A far-above-average, very solid game (sans "final" boss) though I must say I cannot see the basis for the superlative praise everybody heaps on TQ. This is the first game I've ever given up on; I'm not completely re-speccing my character into an antithesis of their core game style or grind until overleveled to compensate for abject design flaws/oversights. Again: shame, really.

TQAE has pretty graphics, vast hordes of re-spawning enemies and bosses to battle and plenty of classes and abilities to choose from. Annnnnnnd... that's it. If all you want is to power-game your character build and slaughter countless monsters then you've absolutely come to the right place. You'll love this game. If you want literally ANYTHING else in your game - an engaging story, interesting characters, combat variety, thoughtful quests, freedom to role play your character - then look elsewhere. I know that this is an ARPG and maybe I was expecting too much (hence 3 stars, not 2) but there could have at least been a decent story or some different kinds of quests. I made it most of the way through Act I before the repetition of 'go here, kill/get this' ultimately bored me. There's just no depth, which is a pity because the idea of questing through ancient Greece, Egypt and Asia really appealed to me.
