Always been a comfort game, often come back to it, restarting most of the the time.
Still holds up, still one of the best aRPG's I've played, runs fine though I did have a few crashes here and there, Ragnarok seemed especially crashy but maybe 10 times total for all the content minus Eternal embers. Will likely edit this with a note on EE once I've done the loops to play that in legendary, but I'll be doing that over time.
I think the story is fine, sure it's not the most gripping but if you have an over involved story then the repeating loops of the rogue lite nature of aRPGs become more of a slog (something you can sadly see in the sequel in name only Titan Quest 2) and I think this strikes the right balance between an interesting journey, which you do feel like you are forging ahead rather then just being pushed pillar to post, and light enough to not become a burden when replaying or trying other classes and looking for loot.
The skills feel good, plenty of variety, very clearly marked for what it's upgrades are.
The itemization feels good and generally pretty readable for what will work for you in spite of a lot of stats, and they feel well group so its not +magic spell on a strength requiring and boosting bow (it may exist but in general I find items that make sense), also has good variety in higher tier items so its not all end game and you aren't just sifting through greys for 1000 hours.
I've always loved Greek mythology and most mythology to some extent, and its a great time going through the areas seeing a variety of creatures with a definite weighing against the non human looking enemies (again TQ2 what are you doing). Would have liked to have seen more variety in the "Celtic" mythology but it mainly focuses on the Scandia region and is fine, think I liked Atlantis more as a whole among the DLC.
Voice acting is what it is, it fits the vibe, it often provides a bit of levity many in the genre lack so doesn't bother me so much.
Worth a pick up if you like aRPG, even today. If you are looking for a more modernised version of the game play but aren't bothered by theming, then check out Grim Dawn, which is largely made by the same developers who made this core game.
