This is my IN-DEPTH Review of Torchlight 3. After playing the game since April 2019 and seeing it grow and evolve I'm delighted to finally be able to review it (as I don't think games should be reviewed before launch). This video is an emotional rollercoaster so expect a bumpy ride and for things to get heated at times (mostly when I talk about the things I dislike). The TL;DR would be Torchlight 3 is very unique and specific; thus, may not be everyone's cup of tea. It has a lot of potential and currently the biggest pull is the immense build diversity that the game for offer. While the biggest disadvantage of the game is the lack of endgame variety (which the devs are already working on improving).

Torchlight 3 Launched on October 13th for PC (Steam), PS4, and XBOX One.
