Titan Quest II
Return to the classic mythology-inspired setting of Titan Quest and go toe-to-toe with legendary monsters as you journey across a fantastical reimagining of ancient Greece.Nemesis, Goddess of Retribution, is out of control. She is corrupting the Threads of Fate and condemning all those who oppose her to eternal punishment – including you. Take up your weapon, fight alongside gods, and change fate itself in order to stop Nemesis, free those she’s punished, and weave your own epic tale.From the creators of SpellForce 3 comes a handcrafted action RPG for a new generation of mythical heroes.
A World of Myth and Monsters
Set out on an adventure worthy of myth that takes you from picturesque beaches, to serene Greek temples, to places where no mortal has ever ventured, including the mysterious realm of the Moirai themselves. Battle classic creatures from Greek myth and the original Titan Quest, including Ichthians, Centaurs, Satyrs, Harpies, Sirens, Gryphons, and many, many more.
Exploration-Focused Campaign
Pay close attention to your surroundings! The world is full of mysteries and secrets to discover. Legendary monsters lurk in hidden groves, and you never know when you will end up face-to-face with a god. Visit memorable towns full of life and intrigue. The conversations you engage in and the items you find along your journey can lead to surprising discoveries, or they might just hold the key to stopping Nemesis. This is your adventure.
A Challenge Fit for a Hero
Heroic deeds require heroic effort. The enemies you face are far from defenseless – dodge and counter their attacks, then overwhelm them with a well-timed flurry of blows. Powerful rituals allow you to freely control the game’s difficulty, while deep character customization systems ensure that there’s always a good reason to replay.
Key Features
- Flexible character system: In Titan Quest 2, you are in control of your own fate. Customize your hero, then form your own class by combining two masteries. Build your character around the strengths and weakness of both masteries, exploring different combinations of skill modifiers, attributes, and items to create your own hybrid class and find your favorite playstyle. Grow your powers from those of a young mortal to a hero to rival the gods themselves!
- Meaningful loot: Every item serves a function, and every character class has many options when it comes to finding the perfect equipment. Even the most common spear can be upgraded via affix crafting, and with the right ingredients, you may even forge it into a unique item spoken of only in legend!
- Challenging action RPG combat: Enemies form factions and work together, combining their unique skills and abilities to keep you on your toes. Use the deep character build system and access every skill at your disposal to vanquish them in this unique action RPG experience.
- A beautiful, handcrafted world rooted in Greek myth: Encounter stunning vistas and deep caverns, and traverse the world with your divine mount, Areion. Use the powers of the gods to uncover secret locations and explore lovingly designed levels full of verticality.
- Online multiplayer: Join up with friends to take on the Goddess of Retribution. Like Jason and the Argonauts, sometimes you need a group of heroes for your journey.
- Rich and immersive sound: An atmospheric soundtrack blends traditional Greek music with modern orchestral elements to create epic, memorable themes, drawing you into Titan Quest 2’s unique world.

I will update this later, as there is a lot going on here.
TO THE DEVELOPERS: This game was amazing. You have something truly special here. I see that you are catering to a vocal portion of the playerbase complaining about itemization not being exciting. I think the number 1 reason that good games fall off, is catering to a vocal minority.
Please make the game in your own vision. I think the itemization was not only exciting, but also thought-provoking. I am not saying any intended changes are a step backwards, but I AM saying that making changes based on a vocal minority is not the way. Especially when you have something this incredible already cooking.
For example, the ice build that was nerfed likely isn't even close to the strongest performing build, and was simply popular due to a popular streamer showcasing it. Streamers and vocal minorities should not be allowed to influence your game this heavily (in my opinion). Again, I'm not saying this will always be a negative thing, but on average (in my experience) it ALMOST always ends up being negative.
Keep up the good work, and I will come back to write a full review later before full release.

TL;DR
Buy if you played the original Titan Quest, or if you are a Path of Exile player looking for something same same but different.
Background
4k+ hours in PoE.
Playing ARPGs since the release of Diablo II.
Titan Quest II is an oldschool ARPG that builds directly on the foundation of the first game. In today's ARPG landscape, it is clearly made for a specific audience. The pace is slower, the game does not hold your hand, and it avoids modern tooltip overload that trivializes gearing and decisionmaking. Progression is traditional with fixed classes, linear skill trees, and manual attribute allocation.
This is not a dopamine fueled loot pinata or a spreadsheet simulator disguised as an action game. Combat can be genuinely challenging. Bosses will kill you if you fail to respect mechanics and positioning. Progression feels earned rather than granted, and the lack of constant guidance forces you to actually pay attention instead of blindly following arrows or green numbers.
That said, the game will feel hostile to players raised on modern ARPG convenience. While respeccing skills is fairly forgiving as long as you can pay some gold, your class choice is permanent. Careless decisions can still lead to weak or awkward builds, and experimentation carries real risk. For the audience the game is targeting, that friction is part of the appeal.
Unfortunately, it is not quite as strong as the original Titan Quest. The world feels less alive, and like many modern games, it lacks that hard to define sense of soul that made the first game special.
Still, if you loved the original or want a slower, more deliberate ARPG as a break from PoE, Titan Quest II is worth your time.

Classic very well made and beautiful action RPG. No shop, no seasons, no battle pass....just a nice game.

A few hours in and I'm absolutely hooked. Fantastic ARPG that runs smooth as butter on Linux. 10/10 would recommend.

This is more of a demo rather than an early access, and as someone that likes to explore every corner and hear every dialogue it took me a bit over 10 hours to complete, which doesn't justify the current price of the game for those that aren't sure they will try out the end product. There is quite a long way to go, however the foundations are great and the devs have stayed faithful to the mechanics and feels of the first game. This one is very promising, and despite the rather bare bones state of the current game with a lack of enemy variety and skills/abilities I have still been hooked on the story and progression of the first act as a melee character. Overall there isn't much to do as of now but the devs have done an amazing job and I believe they will keep up the good work. By the way the art direction is really good. I recommend following news of its development.

2 positives, 1 It's Titan Quest! and 2 it runs on Steamdeck (even though Steam says it doesn't, I played this on my Steamdeck and had no issues).

Damn, I spent 60 hours playing an Early Access ARPG....what the heck.....?
Yes, I played TQ1 and loved it. I played Grim Dawn and I loved it.
Do I love TQ2 the same way? No. Not yet. BUT.....
I feel the developer´s goal to achieve something worthy of the heritage of TQ1.
I see the regular updates, a living project.
My best gaming buddy is playing it, despite its current flaws.
People....it is Early Access....
I expect at least eight classes to be realized,
I expect constant balancing and patches,
I expect nothing less than a growing hit, a home-coming to the world of TQ1, but with modern graphics, gameplay and dynamics.
It has lower pace than other games. So what?
It has no graphic violence? So what?
It does not re-invent the genre ARPG? So what?
It offers you to feel the blanket of good ol´ times in a modern outfit. And I really like wearing that blanket.
And notice: this has been in EA since August. For all the people unable to read and understand: STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, so please don´t vote it down because there are things that have not been implemented yet. It´s not a bug, it´s a feature! :D
