Oh god, can I find the words to write about this one besides "it's steampunk-fantasy Diablo 2?" That's exactly what it is. You are now completely familiar with Torchlight II.

It's good. I'd probably say it's about as good as Diablo 2, to be honest! I've always liked Diablo 2, though I wouldn't say I've ever been in love with it as some have - I'm kind of a Diablo 1 guy myself, even though that game is old and shitty it was really my jam back in the day and I love it despite that. Diablo 2 was too good and not old and shitty enough for my tastes. Ah, shit, I'm talking about Diablo, not Torchlight. Fuck, para, bring it back. Uhhh. Torchlight.

Yeah. Torchlight 1 was an alright game but Torchlight II (mixing my roman and my arabic numerals here because saying Torchlight I seems really weird) really gave it a nice layer of polish and made it not royally suck in the endgame, so that's good! Sometimes I'm a sucker for a good ol' point-and-click hack-and-slash where you click on an enemy until it dies, rinse and repeat, pick up a bunch of loot, spend a lot of time looking at magical items that aren't better than your current stuff, sell them for like 200 gold, go back and click on a bunch more enemies until they die, yeah I'm here for that shit 100%. It's relaxing as hell and my idiot brain gets a dopamine hit whenever I find a magic item with a color of text that is more unusual than the usual color of text that items have. Look, I don't have to explain this to YOU guys, you all know the exact shit I'm talking about. Torchlight II is basically a drug fix for someone looking for a followup to Diablo... 2? II. That's a roman numeral one too. it's 5:45 am and my writeups are getting really silly so I'm going to keep going because it's funny
