While it's better than Torchlight 1 in terms of what item types result in what abilities from gems/skulls etc, it's longer and the graphics look a lot better there are problems: 1) You can't combine gems. Why? Who thought that was a good idea? Tochlight 1 was ahead of D2 in that you could remove gems from sockets and vice verse. All they needed to change was the stupid regen happening only for weapons. Not this. 2) You are forced into one ability/tree at the start instead of choosing where you want to put your point. You can reset it but even then you can only unlock a different attack style at like level 7 for the Engineer. 3) When you can access stuff in general for the engineer really limits available play styles. 4) There's no high magic spell damage/summon minions class like the Alchemist.
