Had recently picked up Torchlight 3 and been plinking through it on my Steam Deck.
It’s not great - but fits the mindless AARPG genre fine. I’m sure it doesn’t have the depth/mechanics to keep the Exile and Diablo fans happy.

Torchlight and Torchlight 2 are great games and even have mods available.
I hear 3 and Infinite are not, though.
Torchlight is so highly spoken of… Am I the only person that thought it was pretty pedestrian?
Been a while since I played 2.
I recently played 1 and was surprised how well it played on the Steam Deck. Felt very native and is small enough on disk to leave it in for any dungeon slashing needs.
You may enjoy Last Epoch. It definitely scratches that itch for me, and is a bit more entertaining than TL imo
Last Epoch needs to let us skip the campaign once it has been done once.
I do not play these games for the dogshit story, I want to kill stuff and get new loot and the story gets in the way of that.
Same thing with PoE (haven’t tried PoE2). I don’t want to have to rush 5-6 hours on a new char just to get through the dog shit story.
Diablo 3 fixed that a decade ago. Shouldn’t be that fucking hard.
Thanks – It’s on the wishlist. I don’t really play for Seasonal content or anything so I can be patient until a heavy discount.
You should try The Slormancer if you haven’t already.
Just started playing it and would also recommend!
The only good part of TL3 were the classes.
TL3 as MMOlite had an “interesting” idea with the campaigns having different ideas and some dynamic events on maps. Then they went with SP and just stringed the campaigns one after another so you have to regear quickly after the zones… and then final boss IIRC does all 3 type of damage and you just sigh if you get that far.
Torchlight 3 was always a disappointment. The whole development process was a mess and the product was trash.
Just play grim dawn if you need that itch. It also has a great story to go with it.
Let’s hope the new Titan Quest is decent enough
There was a 3rd Torchlight game? 😮
