火炬之光2

Linux users have truly been blessed by Runic. Torchlight II is not only a very fun action RPG, but also has modest system requirements and runs on Linux and Mac. The single player campaign is fun, but the story is disposable. The multiplayer is a blast, but doesn't get much traffic. The upgrades, loot, and unlockables are pure gold. Toss in the NG+ mode and mods like the Synergies and Torchlight II's replay value becomes exponential. Some pine for a sequel, but I'm good right where I'm at.

I really like this game, and it works great on our LAN server, when we created a game on our LAN Network. We didn´t even have any need of creating any online accounts for LAN servers, it was just start a LAN server and have fun. =)

I played Diablo II when it first came out and spent so many hours playing and loving that game. So when I recently read a review saying that Torchlight II was a similarly fun action RPG, I bought Torchlight II - and I am loving it. The game has just the right combination of combat, customising weapons, and levelling up for me. It took very little instruction to understand the basic mechanics of the game, which meant that I was fully immersed in the game play within mere minutes. One of my favourite things about this game is the pet that you have accompanying your character. It's great fun having a warrior panda, dog, hawk or other animal fighting alongside of you. You can also pick up enhancements for your pet to upgrade its fighting capabilities. Plus you can load up your pet with items you've picked up and want to sell - you can then send your pet back to base to sell and buy a variety of potions, too. I really am loving this game.

If you are any kind of dungeon crawler fan, you need to get your hand on this title. It is easily the best “Diablo-esque” game when it came out and still stands well today. At $20, it’s a no-brainer. When you consider the game comes with it’s amazing (if traditional) soundtrack as part of the download, it’s a damn steal! I recommend playing Torchlight first, but considering how little story there is in either title really, this is not required for anything.

The game is quite easy to pick up and play, there's excellent build variety, the graphics are pretty timeless, the gameplay loop is mostly quite fun. Probably the only real gripe I have with it is that it can get pretty repetitive at points, but luckily you can just take a break and pick up from where you left off later without feeling lost. I really hope that Runic gets another chance at making a new Torchlight game instead of the various other studios that were stepped in to make the two games we got since this. It's well worth the price (especially right now while it's on sale). You can also try out the first game which is a slightly less polished version of this without the multiplayer.
