I am shocked with how much better this is than the other recent Torchlight game.
I'll put it simply, if you like PoE, you'll like this game. There is a lot of inspiration (obviously taken) from PoE but modernizing some of those mechanics they take inspiration from. Now let us say you didn't like PoE because you found it too complicated. That won't be an issue here due to simplifying some overly complicated mechanics PoE has.

Just overall a great game BUT, I have a bit of concern. There is a mechanic where you can make pacts with monsters. Those monsters provide pretty substantial power to your character and they have some range of rarities as items do. With that being said, it sounds great but unfortunately the only way I've found to get these monsters (so far) is through a gacha system called Boon if I remember the name correctly. It costs 1000 of their premium currency and the game isn't very generous with giving you that currency for free. Just so you get an idea, you get 10-20 per achievement.
I will note you can't purchase anything with money at the moment. But the future implications of purchasing power doesn't sit well with me. I hope this is something they look into.

This is to much p2w
Drop rate - is relatively low, and you got bunch of garbage unique equipments by the map bosses and tons of flame shards and dusts while everything in the trade house is valued by flame elementium. The drop rate increases dramatically in the late game,  which makes the end game gears inflate in prices. Crafting also requires tons of elementium, especially when you can revert those changes. P2W: The pact companions are directly pay to get (you will get ~30 free draws but considering the rate 1.5%...)... Compared to POE where the gameplay is almost unaffected by payments (except the trading stash,  but even so it's permanent stash), this is too much p2w. I spent about 1k on poe,  but I wont spend a penny here unless they changed the pact system.

Game is actually fun. First torchlight that can really call the same one as torchlight 1. Great gameplay great optimization. Some things that need to improved: * simplier trade for cards. You don't know when it's full, have to check and so on.. * sorting items by price, level, energy on trade market. * damage calcs on summons. * more cosmetics to make money for the game, and pact make to drop table, to avoid p2w.

Fun Game
if you like PoE and sometimes PoE feels too complicated and don't have enough time to min-max your character, you might love this game. Yes there is a cash shop system where you can gamble on pets that gives  you more advantages but, if you actually PLAY THE GAME and reached the end game, what  really matters is your gear. As for now materials for gear crafting is only obtainable by grinding and i hope it's stays that way.
