It took me about 5.5 hours to complete all the currently available content. I initially went with a two handed axe build, but found the play style to be clunky and lacking in damage.

I decided to try a different play style and leaned into spells, since my second class was Storm. I rerolled into an Ice Shard build, and although I didn’t have enough attribute points to equip a staff, the spell was so powerful that I managed to beat the entire game without using/equipping any weapons at all.

Unfortunately, this highlights a recurring problem in ARPGs including genre leaders like PoE & PoE2: the persistent imbalance between melee and ranged builds. Titan Quest 2 currently falls into the same trap, where ranged options vastly outperform melee in terms of both damage output and fluidity.

It has potential, but I can't recommend it at its current price point due to the limited content. With a second major update, it might offer enough to justify a recommendation.

It needs some work, but it's looking promising. I clocked over 8,000 hours in PoE1, and I can see myself playing PoE2 just as much—if not more—over time.

Wow, truly groundbreaking! So refreshing to see the team venture beyond red and actually invent a whole new shade of green. Genius! And that DLC—what a deal! A whopping 4 hours of gameplay for just $100. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to see what they come up with next—maybe a new color blue, and a 3-hour DLC for $150? Fingers crossed!

The gameplay feels surprisingly good for a mobile game, but the mobile-focused UI design and monetization system are hard to overlook. While it is possible to earn items through regular gameplay, the game is bogged down by typical mobile game annoyances—like being bombarded with small rewards for every minor action, navigating through layers of menus just to claim them, daily login bonuses, and constant highlighted UI elements that push you to click on them, especially the cash shop.

Some argue it's unfair to criticize the game for catering to mobile users, considering that other games like Diablo and Path of Exile (PoE) have or are developing mobile versions. However, that's a flawed comparison.

Diablo 4, for instance, is designed with both PC and console players in mind, and its UI is simplified to accommodate cross-platform play. While this does streamline certain elements, it's still far from the compromises made to appeal to mobile users, as we saw with Diablo Immortal.

Meanwhile, PoE's mobile version is taking a different approach. While the core gameplay elements remain the same, the UI is being completely reworked to suit mobile devices. You can't compare that to Torchlight, which is primarily a mobile game that happens to be playable on PC.

I'm planning to keep playing for a bit to see if it improves, but I've heard troubling things about the monetization. Aside from the pay-to-win elements and cosmetics, it seems you have to buy premium stash tabs every season. If that’s true, I doubt I'll stick around.
