Titan Quest Anniversary Edition

I think anyone who is a fan of Diablo style ARPG's owes it to themselves to play this game. It nails everything great about the genre and doesn't overstay its welcome if you only care to playthrough once. For those who like build crafting with new characters or higher challenge the repeat playthrough of main story content and DLC are done very well. For someone who wants to see all the content on a single character it is a Shame the third DLC is only playable on the final difficulty, but I believe there is more than enough going for the game to make the playthroughs required to get there worth it. Overall even many years on a top of the genre game for sure.

Great game have the original on CD so I'm well versed with the game love and ready for titan quest 2 to come out can't wait!

This is best thematic aRPG out there. Plus, it's slow to level and slow to kill.

It definitely feels like an older game at times, but the flavor makes up for it.

There's both a lot to do and yet not a lot.

The game is loaded with different classes to try out (picking 2 different masteries to make a class is very cool) but it feels very... dull to play? It isn't particularly interesting to play or explore unless you are loaded with nostalgia. It feels very old, despite being more recent than hallmarks of the genre, and so does not feel particularly interesting to play.

I say there's not a lot because the game is essentially running to the next room, and while for a while the decor is fine it just gets dulled really quick when the maps are big, the environmental markers lacking, and the flavor missing. There just isn't anything remarkable about the areas as you try to just run through them.

I would save your money and try another ARPG, unless you really want to play it.

A Diablo 2 replica in terms of style but set in the ancient world mythology (Greece, Egypt, etc.) with dozens of class combinations and ways to combine skills. It will always be new each time you make a character. Highly recommend!

Very good game, An almost perfect Diablo clone. The graphics have held up well even in 2024.

A classic, glorious and well-made hack'n' slash title, with a distinct antiquity and mythology flavour. :-)

It is a bit old in 2024-2025 but still playable. Enjoying this game a lot. I just wished that this was a bit more recent game

love it also have it on other systems but on pc i can do more

Titan Quest is a timeless masterpiece! I played Titans Quest in 2018/2019 and Its captivating mix of mythology and action RPG gameplay hooked me completely. With stunning environments, deep character customisation, and rewarding combat, it left a lasting impression. I can’t wait to relive the epic journey and dive back into its rich, immersive world!

I love ARPG games and of all I played, this one is the best, in my opinion. I'm re-playing it every 2 years or so, since it came out first.

Great game, so much content for a small asking price!

Game just doesn't get any better than the first three seconds. Story was so boring I stopped bothering after the third conversation. Game play is ok, but nothing exiting either. After more than 80 hours, I am still not really hooked but rather frustrated with being stuck every now and then, so I have to backtrack and grind for a while. I'm giving up at this point.

Titan quest was an interesting game when it first launched, I really liked it back them. However Grim Dawn has evolved this particular formula of Action RPG to the point where Titan Quest feels outdated. Moreover, the recent expansions are not as good as the main game and it's first expansion. I would recommend to play it only if you really like the setting.

challenging game, tons of content and even though old still one of my favorites

It is a good yet tactical game, I like it for it's strategy. It's a good game.

Good ol retro game, Diablo but Greek.

love this game played this on xbox but just got it on pc and i love it on pc even more. 10/10 would play again definitely.

Most nostalgic game from my childhood who still gets rare updates.

For those, who like a game simillar to Diablo 2

Still great game after all these years.

It is easy to learn and fun to play.

I played this game when it was new nearly 20 years ago and to finally play and beat the new legendary-only expansion today was so satisfying. The randomly generated loot and beautiful landscapes really do it for me. Now I'm ready for Titan Quest 2. Life is good!

A classic masterpiece. There is nothing else that can be said. The expansions are fun and worth the play-through. Excellent!

Good Game

Love the Greek era of this game. All the myths and legends come alive. This game is great!

Probably in the top 3 of best ARPGs I've ever played. Often considered the predecessor to Grim Dawn this game uses the (if done correctly) amazing class system of choosing two separate masteries to create your class. There is a lot I could say about this game but I'm going to start off with the negatives first.

-The Cons-

1. This is not your modern ARPG

Before anyone jumps on me and calls me out for not being a "true" fan of the genre or anything, I actually PREFER this. I LOVE that this game is not your modern, 1 button pressing, legendary loot at level 10, inconsequential builds ARPG. This to me is NOT a negative but it must be stated because if you are NOT interested in putting at least 10+ hours into this game you probably will not see what I see, and 10 hours is kinda low to be honest. I will get more into this when I talk about the classes/builds but just know you probably won't feel like a "strong" or "special" character for a much longer time then you'd be used to coming from modern ARPGs. Couple this with the hard bosses (Typhon WILL stop your run the first time you playthrough, that's fine, enjoy it, start a new character if you'd like, don't stress), rare loot drops, most abilities have cooldowns unless meant to be your autoattack, and you're going to be drinking potions like your life depended on it because it normally does.

I know this is a negative point but I must say from my perspective I'd really give this a try still. The bosses are meant to be slow burn events, loot is meant to be exciting when you get it (and many people have beaten the game with yellow, or uncommon, only gear), ability management USED to be a part of ARPGs and I'd wager the genre has gotten worse for moving away from this, and while drinking endless potions can be annoying 'E' and 'R" are your best friends.

2. Quality of life

While MOST of the quality of life features I can overlook the two I cannot defend is the game "remembering" what difficulty you last played on (many times I accidentally play on Normal with my Epic+ characters). Speaking of I'd actually commit ARPG blasphemy and say that APRGs SHOULD move away from the 3 difficulty system, while I understand the point of it and don't MIND the idea of running older zones with harder mobs, I just think forcing the player to "start over" 3 times is quite archaic. This is admittedly very minor but it is very annoying, however this game also ESSENTIALLY has no stash and this is a genuine concern.

The stash system in this game is SO extremely minimal that if you have even 2+ characters and would like to keep gear for either future runs or just for any sort of collecting you will run out of space probably by Act 3. There are work arounds TQ Vault is a great resource after I ignored it for years I now use it all the time. This is definitely a genuine complaint with the game that I can't defend or argue against.

-The Pros-

1. Classes/Builds

Arguably every ARPG lives and dies by its classes/class system. I could probably write a 100 page thesis on why classes are important for ARPGs but this isn't about that, it's about Titan Quest, just know that I cannot understate how important it is to have a compelling class system and Titan Quest definitely does.

So this game has a total of 11 masteries, with DLC, you as the player at level 2 choose your first mastery that can be leveled up to 40 with new actives and passives after leveling up your mastery. Once your character has leveled up to 8 you choose your 2nd mastery which then creates your class. While your class doesn't generally affect any stats (masteries do 'class' doesn't) most people understand what you're trying to do when you mention your class (for example if I say I'm playing a Conqueror veterans understand I'm probably building auto attack heavy character).

All this to say, just surface level, there's a lot of playstyles, but then I'd even argue each class has multiple niches to them. Want to play an archer with a lightning orb pet? You can. want to play a trap placing dual wielder? You can. Want to play a fire mage with wolves? You can. (disclaimer you CAN not saying all these builds can push Eternal Embers Legendary, I simply don't know)

Then we have.

2. Itemization

The gear/class system of this game makes SO MANY interesting combinations of fun things to do. I remember the moment I fell in love with the itemization of this game was the moment I found a shield (can't remember the name, sorry veterans) that had a chance to on block create a huge temporary pet ON a character that used shields and pets. There's many examples of this but especially in Epic+ there's many items that will seemingly validate your builds you've been working on.

Again, loot is rare and specific loot is even more rare, but there are so many items out there that validate dozens of different builds to at least make it TO Legendary, probably further.

5. Everything else

From the setting, to the enemy diversity, to the boss battles, to the heroic monsters, to the massive content available. This game truly is special and as I said before is top 3 ARPG of all time with a MAJOR argument it could be number 1.

P.S. I hope TQ 2 is half as good as this.

its a old game but alot of fun. Can"t stop playing.

My top favourite game of all time with Diablo 2

The game is great but the current developer (or IP owner) is a huge red flag. Making a patch for a remake of decades old game just to put an ad into a menu of single player game without DLC or microtransactions is just straight up evil. I was interested in TQ2 but after seeing ads being retroactively added to existing titles, I will look at TQ2 through suspicious and skeptical glasses. Definitely no preorders.

Love this game, been playing on and off since the original came out many moons ago.

Best hack'n'slash game ever.
I was a kid when I received it (as a gift), after 3 years I knew more about ancient civilisations and myths than my historian teaching it, lol

my game keeps kicking me out no matter what computer I play on or anything. I even bought a new gaming computer because I thought it was my computer. I cannot play any more than 10 minutes at a time until I get kicked out. very frustrating after purchasing the game. I use to never have this problem.

Absolute banger of a game would recommend

Fantastic game, 4 very good chapters, unfortunately chapter 5 and 4.1 are paid and not very significant to the story. The only downside is the fact that it has to be repeated 3 times to achieve achievements.

Fun hack and slash

Good game 8/10

Ages like a fine wine

Great game, countless amount of content including min/maxing

The Original Game is a very good game but this feels nothing more than the original with some fixes for modern systems. (2024-10-30)

When you look at Grim Dawn (Indie Dev who used the Titan Quest Engine) they completely improved the Engine in any direction. And then we have this big Dev/Pub here who ships out this peace of trash reworked thing any mod team could do 10 times better if they had the source code.

Titan Quest is the master piece of ARPG game much better than modern Diablo's
Only downside of Titan quest is the mechanic of old game slow and not much movement skills
exept that the game is excellent !

i hate turtles and crows now

Fun game with a long campaign. Worth the price.

This game is so nostalgic for me. I've played it since childhood. The style of the game has been something that has appealed to me for a minute. As well the story though is simple, I actually quite enjoyed. Though definitely not something if your looking for accuracy, I enjoy the world and combination of various mythos in this.
Aside from my bias nature toward this game, I do have some gripes with it. Mainly small glitches and having to reset the world instance to be able to farm for equipment. There really isn't a natural re-spawn for creatures once you kill them, and it can become a bit tedious to continuously farm a boss for items this way. But I still find it very addictive.
all and all, my most accurate rating for it would be 7/10.
I'm excited to see what is done for the new game coming out soon.

The memories...

10/10 for the 12 y/o me.

Great game. Thousands of hours on the original as a kid. Well worth it.

Classic gameplay updated for more modern experiences offers a wealth of content in the base package with lots of additional DLC for those who want more.

Was fun at the beginning but then progression gets pretty slow. Feels dated in gameplay and graphics despite the Anniversary Edition.

Score: 5/10
