It's certainly not a deal-breaker, because you spend your entire time zoomed out, but it's still an issue because it demonstrates a lack of attention to detail.It's hard not to compare Torchlight 2 to Diablo 3 - after all, they both released the same year, they both feature the same top-down perspective, and they're both fantasy action RPG looters. It would've been nice to see some varying level of detail as you zoomed in. While this is a great feature to have, especially when it comes to examining your armor and weapons, the world around you features low-resolution textures. Torchlight II gives you the ability to zoom into your character. It's a shame that such a polished title lacks basic attention to detail. This can be quite jarring to witnesses because you have to go from crisp gameplay to blurry menus often. Any vector-based image is fine, but everything else is incredibly blurry. The gore is also quite explosive! Even though gameplay is locked at 4K 60 FPS, the menus seem like they're still being upscaled from 1080p. Not only does the game run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second (4K 60 FPS), but it also features pastel-colored environments. Torchlight II is a sight to behold on Xbox One X. Some side quests are also a little difficult to understand at first, but if you keep on exploring a level, you should find the answers you're looking for. There are so many secrets and it'll take you a while to find them all. I don't think I've played an isometric experience like this where each area was this large. The environments are just as vast as they are gorgeous. You'll go from lush plains to bright blue dungeons in the blink of an eye. The game features a lot of level variety. Luckily, it was a free Games with Gold in August, so chances are that you already own it on your Xbox One. If you're an Xbox Live Gold subscriber, you'll probably want to play Torchlight before playing Torchlight II in order to understand the lore. Your quest takes you to various locations, each filled with mysterious characters and loads of side quests. The hero from Torchlight, The Alchemist, comes under the influence of a dark power and it's up to you to stop him.

From my understanding, the story picks up after the events of the first game.

Torchlight II's plot is somewhat convoluted.
