Launching myself into the first area, I had a pretty good time getting a handle on the controls. The entire experience could be made a lot less frustrating with a few changes. Levels don’t remember that you have been there before, which results in a lot of backtracking and repeating content. The minimap doesn’t show your destination until you get close – leading to a lot of aimless wandering. Torchlight 3 suffers from a lot of quality of life issues. I took a look at the Railmaster’s other skill trees, saw that they seemed somewhat fire-based, so I figured that the fire relic would be a good fit. The options are poison, ice, fire, electricity, and (deep inhale) blood drinker. On that run, I selected the game’s weirdo Railmaster class – simply because I had never seen anything like it in a game before (the other three classes are Sharpshooter – a ranged archer type, Dusk Mage – who specializes in balancing light and dark magic, and Forged – which is a fun steampunk robot guy).Īfter selecting a class, the player then gets to add a relic – which essentially adds a third, elemental skill tree to explore. The first was just to get a feel for how the game worked. I have played through the first couple of hours of Torchlight 3 several times.

Basically, what you have here are a boss for the end of each act, then a big boss for the very end of the game. There is a story of sorts in Torchlight 3, involving these three and their “mother”. Though the game does very little to explain its concepts to new players, I have enough genre experience to figure it all out with minimal fuss. The first of my good experiences came in the game’s opening hours. Then I would hit some invisible line and the loot would suddenly improve, and I would have a good time again.

I would have a good time for a while, then be bored for a bit. My experience with Torchlight 3 cycled like the tides. The Opening Hours Of Torchlight 3 Are Pretty Good
