Torchlight 2 is the perfect sequel to the original game.

After playing through the game twice, it's time that I finally review a game which has become one of my favorites. First of all the game-play is simple, yet satisfying, fun and unique. No two playthroughs are the same, loot and mission rewards are randomized and so are the enemies and even every dungeon in the game. This, the four different classes and all the mods available through the steam workshop add a lot of replay value to this game.

I recommend playing the game on hardcore, this adds a lot more thought to the game and keeps you a lot more interested in the game.
The games GUI is clean and the steam-punk graphical style is really well matched to the gameplay and classes.
Your companion throughout the game is your pet, you can choose any pet from a collection of 10, ranging from dogs to headcrabs. The pets are very useful in the game as not only can they attack enemies, carry loot and cast spells. They can also be sent to town to sell the things in their inventories and even buy items like potions and scrolls.

I really liked the leveling system in Torchlight 2 because, although there are different abilities trees you're not locked to a certain one and don't have to go through a whole tree to get an ability at the end of the tree, this creates more variety and gives you a lot more choices of how you want to play your character, you can go a 'Jack of all Trades' or just specialise in spawning robots as the engineer, or using fast, duel-wielding attacks as the beserker.
