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.

I hear 3 and Infinite are not, though.

The first two (mainly the first) had that special something you get in indie games.

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.

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.

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.

I'll contest that i think the skip function needs a little work but it does exist

Let's hope the new Titan Quest is decent enough
