While Diablo 4 has been finding its feet again of late, if you're feeling like a break then a Torchlight Steam sale is the perfect opportunity to get some distance from Blizzard's game and discover two of the best Diablo-style releases ever. With the first two games in the series, both boasting 9/10 Steam user ratings and outstanding examples of the genre in their own right, available for the pric...

I've been playing a lot of Torchlight 2 recently, which always has its dangers. For one thing, these ARPGs are so moreish that you can sort of chug through them forever while the rest of the world withers around you. But there's another danger, too. If I play any ARPG for too long in one go I start to think purely in terms of the trade-offs. It's sort of RPG thermodynamics, I guess. I cease to see...

Past Perfect is a retrospective column in which we look back into gaming history to see whether old favourites are still worth playing today. The Confusion I feel like I m having a sort of ARPG existential crisis. With Diablo III continuing to be so popular, the same game finding a new audience and fresh buzz seven years on with its Switch release last year, I wondered if Torchlight II cou...

Five of the Best is a weekly series about the bits of games we overlook, those poor old things. I'm talking about crowds, potions, mountains, hands - things we barely notice at the time but can recall years later because they're so important to the overall memory of the game. Now is the time to celebrate them - you and me both! I will share my memories but I'm just as eager to hear yours, so pleas...

For me, the thing about a game like Torchlight 2 is that when I'm playing it I'm never entirely paying attention. Or rather I'm never giving it my entire attention. This is not a slight. If anything, I love the effect this has, because it means that when I replay it after a long absence, phrases return to me like fragments of some dream I can only half remember. The Temple Steppes. The Path of the...

Announced two weeks ago, we re finally getting our first peek at how co-op action RPG Torchlight Frontiers looks in motion. While there s still some big talk about the game being a shared world that new developers Echtra Games have yet to explain, the new trailer looks enough like Torchlight 2 to me, which is all I m looking for in a sequel like this. Take a peek at...

Perfect World Entertainment today announced a new game in the action-RPG series Torchlight, nine months after shutting down the studio which created it. But some scraps of Runic Games have survived to make Torchlight Frontiers, as this new one is named, including Runic co-founder Max Schaefer and other unnamed former Torchlight folks at his new studio, Echtra Games. Weird. What a weird situation...

The Mapworks is the heart of Torchlight 2. In many ways it feels like the heart of so much that is great in video games in general. You spawn at the portal and then you walk out, along a narrow golden bridge, to a magical clockwork escapement suspended in the void. I can imagine what the floor feels like here: the glossiness of the crystal and polished metal, and that hum coming up through your fe...
