RAILMASTER BUILD TORCHLIGHT 3 PS4

It’s a good thing that gaining levels fills that role in Torchlight 3, because there is scarcely a trace of character growth or plot development across the game’s three acts. I love when characters open up to one another on the hikes between their story goals. Typically, a well-told story fills this role in games for me. Torchlight 3 is more than capable of scratching that particular itch, for sure. The truth is that some of us are just wired to casually open Skinner boxes and chase tasty but evasive stick-mounted carrots with our good buds. It’s a pace and design that will be familiar to people who have played their share of free-to-play mobile titles and gacha games. Combined with the intrinsically exciting nature of randomized loot drops, there is enough at play to keep the incremental steps between milestones engaging in their own right. The clear-cut routes lead to character growth that can be felt on an almost level-to-level basis. By all means, players can wander down any path they want, but it is going to be pretty difficult to forget that the path less traveled is less traveled for a reason. That’s technically twenty potential playstyle options, but a quick glance at the class and relic skill trees is all it takes to chart an optimal course forward. To do so, they select which one of four classes they’d like to combine with one of five relics. The most important choice players face comes when they create their players. On the other hand, one of Torchlight 3’s greatest strengths is conceivably a byproduct of its simplicity.

It’s rare to find a well-balanced challenge in Torchlight 3, which might be off-putting to challenge-seeking action RPG fans, as the genre is famously saturated with games designed to scratch that itch. Those who found the game’s systems too straightforward back then might be disappointed to discover that the optimal builds from Early Access are largely the clear-cut winners today too. The game entered Early Access back in June 2020 and, admittedly, four months isn’t a whole lot of time to respond to player feedback. Which means the value of the game, as a whole, can vary depending on your preferred method of play.

I guess what I’m saying is Torchlight 3 is a bit like a drinking game for me it’s relatively simple and far less joyous on single-player. Playing in that way was, at best, a way to pass some time. There’s a nearly identical single-player mode, too, but players can’t use it to level-up their multiplayer character. I also enjoyed playing the game with a friend before the release date, though that experience was rife with glitches, rather than loot.
