Titan Quest

A fairly standard hack'n'slash game with some environments that are absolutely stunning even ten years later. The Anniversary Edition is a damn good update, too.

Decisamente non fa per me: ripetitivo e poco appassionante, senza una storia dietro. Non posso farne una colpa al gioco però, penso proprio che sia il genere degli hack and slash che non mi si addica. In ogni caso ci ho provato, ma non sono riuscita ad andare oltre il primo atto.

This game improved on a lot of what made the Diablo games so great, removing cumbersome mechanics like item identification and town portal scrolls, and making a generally very satisfying combat system. The multiplayer suffers because experience and loot are not shared, but I think this is improved in the remastered version of the game. Some people don't like the lack of randomly-generated environments, but the hand-crafted levels are very nice, and long enough that most people won't notice.

Meh.

One of those games where I struggle to explain why I can't stand playing them. The core gameplay loop just doesn't appeal to me at all. Maybe that's a good thing.
