Dragon Age 2 vs Torchlight 2
Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age 2 puts you into the shoes of Hawke, a refugee who happens to be incredibly apt at fighting, as he/she (you get to choose which) attempts to escape from the darkspawn-filled realm of Felderen in hopes of becoming the Champion of Kirkwall. Similar to its original game, the game is utterly oozing in a rich and cinematic-infused storyline that will have you making crucial decisions based on your gut instincts, careful deliberations or simply your emotions which may drastically change the path of your narrative, resulting in very different endings.Being a party-based game, the decisions you make may also affect your companions' personal opinion of you and naturally, the better relationship you have with your companion, the more dialogue options you'll open up. The characters in this game is as colorful as its predecessor too, each with their own unique set of quirks and personalities. The combat system is also greatly improved so the transition between paused "planning mode" and the exciting action is smoother than before.
Dragon Age 2 is an epic sequel to the series and is a must-buy for fans of the game. For those who are looking to get into the game, we'd recommend starting with Dragon Age: Origins just so you can truly appreciate the amount of attention to detail that this game has when it comes to its lore.
Torchlight 2
Torchlight 2 is the well-received sequel of the popular dungeon crawling game, Torchlight. Similar to Diablo's sequel, Torchlight took to making its "dungeons" a little more open-aired, resulting in randomized levels overworld (rather than just underworlds) with nice weather effects to make the world feel more alive. There are more towns/adventuring hubs for you to visit too. The campaign is also reworked to provide players who replay the game a greater challenge to match their now upgraded character and as usual, you'll still have your trusty pet and some fishing to do on the side.Torchlight 2 not only supports mods (like the first game) but it also provides multiplayer so you can dive into its worlds by playing with your friends or with random strangers via the matchmaking service.
The Torchlight series have always had amore lighthearted tone to them and that actually made the game feel a lot more relaxing, and for some, more entertaining to play. Regardless of which part of the dungeon-crawling spectrum you like, Torchlight 2 is the sort of game that every fan of the genre should at least experience once in their lives.
