I didn’t know what to expect, but when the game started off with a Borderlands-like montage of the game’s four playable characters, my hopes rose. I never indulged in Torchlight 3’s early access period, so I started this game with a lot of optimism. It lacks personality and depth to back up its loot-driven gameplay, and most of all: it lacks a good story. After having spent four months in early access however, Torchlight 3 feels more like a shallow Diablo knock-off than anything close to resembling the real thing. What remains is a game that seeks to recreate what everyone loved about Torchlight 2, which was an action-RPG Diablo-like game with a quirky personality and fun enough loot game. After all these years, Torchlight 3 is finally here, no longer free-to-play and no longer an MMORPG. Announced as Torchlight Frontiers back in 2018, it was meant to be a free-to-play MMORPG, but has since shed many of those MMO-like qualities. The game comes eight years after its predecessor Torchlight 2, developed by Echtra Games after the series’ original developer shut down in 2017. Torchlight 3 has a strange development story.
