The story is somewhat lacking, but not overly important when garnering quests and slaying beasts.  You'll quickly lose track of time whilst exploring the bowels of the town of Torchlight, which is lovely for your sense of satisfaction, but bad for the real life priorities you'll likely neglect, such as eating and paying bills.  The graphics are great, the music engrossing, and the gameplay addictive.  While the lack of multiplayer at first tastes bitter, the single-player campaign more than makes up for it, as you really have little to lose at the meager asking price of $20.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002F2009\u002F11\u002F18\u002Ftorchlight-review","2009-11-18","8.6",86,{"id":66,"author":67,"outlet":70,"summary":75,"review_url":76,"review_date":77,"original_score":78,"normalized_score":79},52927,{"id":68,"name":69},4470,"Emily Gera",{"id":71,"logo":72,"name":73,"website_url":74,"score_format":59},74,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FVideogamer-logo.jpg","Videogamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.videogamer.com\u002F","Torchlight proves to be one the perfect students of the genre.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.videogamer.com\u002Freviews\u002Ftorchlight-review\u002F","2021-06-05","8.0\u002F10",80,{"id":81,"author":82,"outlet":85,"summary":90,"review_url":91,"review_date":92,"original_score":93,"normalized_score":94},94139,{"id":83,"name":84},8038,"Mike Rose",{"id":86,"logo":87,"name":88,"website_url":89,"score_format":59},133,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameWatcher-Logo.jpeg","GameWatcher","https:\u002F\u002Fgamewatcher.com","While Torchlight’s original faults still stand, the game lends itself wonderfully to the Xbox 360 controller, and we found ourselves preferring the console edition.
