Runic Games didn't create a hugely innovative game with Torchlight II, but did create one of the best gear hunts around. The fight, loot and upgrade gameplay loop is expertly crafted and always makes it feel like meaningful progress is being made. Every session feels rewarding, whether you're finding powerful new gear or trying out new skills against huge packs of murderous enemies. The four available classes can be built to fight in remarkably different ways, and with a limited respect options there' still room to experiment before locking in a build. While it lacks an interesting story, Torchlight II does everything else a great loot game should.
