Same as with the Ragnarok expansion it is definitely worthwhile to play if you like the original Titan Quest + Immortal Throne. It is of course not at the same level as the original TQ, but still surprisingly good. Where the Ragnarok expansions felt like a real expansion, Atlantis felt like it was over way too quickly. It took me 5-6 hours to finish the story on legendary difficulty on a lvl 75 character while just taking it slowly. The new monsters and maps are alright. The mapping actually felt a little bit better in comparison with the Ragnarok expansion. Things like the new account-wide relic bank, right-clicking items to bank, combat numbers, quick cast, background colours for items in your bag are all amazing aditions to the game. Also the new skills are quite cool and usefull, atleast the ones I've tried. There is also an infinite dungeon added which should make up for the short story, but this quickly became rather boring imo. If you like Titan Quest you will most likely also enjoy this expansion. The only con is the short story line.
I've played this game for dozens of hours now and I must say the storytelling is superb, such as the voice acting and the music. The RPG part of the game was also very fun as it made you realy think about the choices you have to make and sometimes it even made me feel a little bad when I made a 'wrong' choice. For this reason I've finished the game twice, because I was just curious what would happen if I made a different choice. But I have to say, I did expect the game to be a bit different. I thoroughly enjoyed my whole playtrough but it could be a lot better, because the card game based on the Gwent multiplayer game was a bit lackluster. I knew the card game woudn't be the same as in The Witcher 3 because I've seen some beta Gwent footage, but it seems they've changed it completely since then (only two rows of cards instead of three and much more..., but that does not necessarily have to be bad). The biggest drawback for me where the easy fights and most battles, the main story battles especially, are just one round which does not benefit the tactical part. In most scenarios you can just use the same card deck over and over again without real struggle (I did read they made the fights a little harder in their latest patch, but I haven't tested it myself.) The 'puzzle' fights on the other hand, I did enjoy a lot more. With these fights you will only get a specific amount of cards with their own abilities with which you then have to find the right order to place and use them. After all it was definitely worth my time and I would recommend this game to anybody who is interested in a great story. tl;dr superb storytelling, voice acting and music. Card gameplay is a bit lackluster.
