Is it the most robust game ever? No. Is it the most innovative? No. Does that matter? Not really. Because it's /fun/. You can play for an hour and it's just plain enjoyable, and does it without requiring bleeding edge hardware or steep, complicated learning curves. My /only/ complaint, really, is lack of multiplayer, but this is also a chunk from a larger MMO to come, and is also only $20 to boot, so I can live with it.

Its adorable! The graphics/scenery, although simple in todays terms, is beautifully lush, vibrant and colourful. I like how you can load your pet up with items and send him back to town to sell it all. Torchlight is just a straight out FUN game. Very enjoyable.

Or even better, have it based on an XP scale thats shallower than the level climb so that at low levels it might be once every 5 levels you can respec but at high levels it could be each 5th of a level. Problem solved. For respecing they should take a page from D&D4.0 and allow you to change one skill per level.

Not many do this nowadays (certainly not first hand) and they're a delightfun bunch to talk to :D Also there's an Identify Items spell that you can buy & learn. Takes up miniscule amount of mana and you don't need to carry anymore scroll! I reckon there’s a couple more you can love about the game:
