Titan Quest II

How they made the first game better than the second is beyond me.

Once this game is optimized, it'll be an easy Definite Recommend. Unfortunely, the steam version of the game constantly crashes with the latest updates. Verifying files, updating graphic's drivers, turning off steam overlay were all unsuccessful. For the devs, please check game optimization. It's currently unplayable.

game is just very very average. - It looks nice, but first half of currently implemented campaign is one biome is WAY TO LONG (sunny beach resort old greek biome), - there are like a total of 30 monster types in the whole game and even in those 30 there are some that are just reskins. - masteries and skills are just whack. Its not even balance thing, they are just boring. Some skills are just straight up the same skill between two masteries (cd buff in rogue and in warlord is basically the same thing e.g.) - loot is ass, items are ass, modifiers are ass - main npc characters are as flat as marble flooring. Hurrdurr cartoony villian or that forspoken level talking medallion. - overall dialogue writing and story is very poor. Just dumbed down to the absolute maximum. maybe they will fix it? i hope so, but i dont think this game can be fixed.

Titan Quest 2 needs a lot of optimization before I can recommend anyone to buy it. I can run any other arpg perfectly fine, but on this game I drop frames and the game seems to skip frames or have brief pauses between frames.

So far so good. Definitely feels like a Titan quest game. My only issue right now is the sound seems very low and I have everything turned up to max settings. Also it still needs some optimization work. Its still EA so I'm willing to wait to see how this turns out. So far I am enjoying it and look forward to see the next editions and the 1.0 release.

Having played Titan Quest 1 so much throughout the years I want Titan Quest 2 to really be a good game. But sadly I can't say it is. For me some of the biggest glaring issues is the story and what you as a player can feel. You are some demi-god, okay, but then your skills visually and damage wise just lack impact with small radii on most skills, short times on buff spells or overtimes, even damage often feeling quite sad. I get having to balance between challenge and fun, but right now it feels like you are just equal to most beings you fight with enemies having often flashier or faster casting spells and you only being saved by having a summon or the right item stats. I personally want to see a struggle early on and over time it becoming easier and if the player wants a challenge they can increase the enemy levels more for better rewards. Right now increasing levels does give that difficulty a bit with the enemies becoming more damage sponges but the effort vs reward is lacking. That brings me to loot, loot is uninspiring, with the new crafting I was looting and breaking down a lot at first, but quickly started leaving most loot on the ground, the resources become worthless. The more rare and interesting items were so rare that trying to find improvements was most of the time impossible, meaning at a certain point I just upgraded the item levels since new green items had useless rolls for my build and rerolling just 1 affix wouldnt make them usefull either, epic items if they dropped were often the same ones over and over again with the exact same stats. There was little item and skill interaction. Which highlights another issue in the game, nothing feels like it truly interacts with one another, passive all just add little buffs here and there but don't effect skill looks or interactions. +3% crit here, +10 resistance there etc. Big woop? I want bosses to be challenging and basic group mops to explode into chunks, I want loot to inspire me to tweak and refine my built or inspire me to change my build. But two replays felt exactly the same (to try different masteries) with just different skill skins. The story overall is fine, most is predictable but since it's all based on mythos that is how it should be as all characters should align with known lore and personalities. Though I do wish some sidequests felt a bit more impactful, such as seeing locations becomes safer or seeing them help around the location they went to, instead of just stand around. Which also points to the small irking point of the world feeling static and boring, I explored almost every corner, did almost (if not all) sidequests, but there is no impact. In base/camp everyone stands around, not even the blacksmiths hammer away, no standing next to their anvil staring into the emptiness of the worlds soul. Before I understood with it being a early access but now it's been in development for quite some time and much content was added, but nothing changes really other than new parts of the story added, locations and bug fixes. The year is 2026 and we can do so much more. Any performance issues I encountered or other bugs I don't care about, I assume they will be improved/fixed over time, but to see the game lack in other aspects means I just can't recommend the game.

Feels like good old Titan Quest for sure. Although I'd recommend to wait until v1.0 at least, : 1. Character development feels very simplistic, to an extent some mobile games would seems a lot more sophisticated ( that is skill tree, stats feels very simplistic, no synergy between multiclass like not a lot of thoughts have been given to combat system at all ). 2. a lot of bugs, game require lots of resources (without obvious visual benefit), lots of bugs too (ofc to be expected in Alpha) to an extend it is right now unplayable and is freezing after 5 min of gameplay after latest patch..

Игра плохо оптимизирована, некоторые загадки не выдерживают никакой критики. Баги так же не улучшают экспириэнс от игры. Особенно, когда из-за багов по непонятной причине персонаж перестает как либо взаимодействовать с врагами. Вайб от первой ТК имеется, но исследование локаций убивает весь фан, потому что локи разветвленные и исследование превращается в бесконечный бэктрекинг.
