I’m making a ridiculous statement right out the gates and oddly so because Diablo 3 has not even been released yet. Why say it’s a killer? That’s because Torchlight is exactly what you’d expect the next Diablo to be like.
From the start Torchlight submerges you in a neat new world, instantly throwing you into the action, where your character and your character’s (very useful) pet quickly start delving deeper into the troubled dungeons below.
Torchlight hugely surprised me in terms of it’s gaming experience and accessibility. Let me break it down for you…
Pros:
- Gorgeous. Torchlight in-game is absolutely beautiful and crisp.
- Smooth. This game runs smoothly on PC’s older than 3 years. It’s obviously very well built.
- Tiny. Torchlight is less than 500MB in size! Most decent games average 5 to 8 Gigs.
- Cheap. This game is going for $19.95 and is ready for download right now.
- Playable. Torchlight is accurate, fast and really easy to play, with unique new interface features that makes this game loads of fun.
Con:
- No multiplayer, yet. Currently in development for the MMORPG realm, Torchlight could become a serious contender in the online gaming genre. Good luck to you I say.
Blizzard will to be dangling the release date carrot in front of Diablo fans for a really long time to come. In the mean time I hope that Torchlight makes a big splash with their online gaming experience as they totally deserve it with this well polished game.
If you’re a gamer and haven’t played Torchlight yet, I highly recommend you do.
