I have to say I don't understand all the negative reviews of this game, all the complaints that it's not as good / not the same / some kind of betrayal of TL2 / TL1. I put over 100 hours into TL2, but AFAIAC this is a considerably better game in most respects.
The graphics are better, the combat is more tactical and tighter, there is more variation in enemies and hazards. It is faithful to Torchlight lore, style and spirit, while the major additions to mechanics such as base building, apparel skinning and the new Railmaster PC class are well done. The game is maybe a bit more linear than TL2, but the voice acting and story content make somewhat more sense and are a little easier to follow (these are not strong points of the franchise in general). Levelling and progression are enhanced and very well balanced. I haven't noticed any significant bugs. There is plenty of scope for replay, plenty of room for build customisation and play style variations.
All in all, I think TL3 is a definite improvement on the earlier games. It's engrossing, charming and fun. It's a pleasant way to burn a few hours. I'm happy to recommend it on its own merits.

Having rolled the credits on Torchlight 1 and 2 previously, without a doubt this is the least enjoyable of the three. The development hell, which you can read about online, is painfully present. With that being said, if you get it for a few bucks on the cheap and enjoy the first 2, you should still be able to find some enjoyment.

So I can appreciate the fact that this takes all the good parts of Torchlight 2 and improves them, making them more appealing for a modern audience. I do like the base mechanic and the fact that you can have multiple pets.
But I dunno fam, there's just something about Torchlight 2 that will always make me prefer it over this. It feels like this just has less soul? I dunno, I think my bias is showing HARD XD

Too different from II. But if you can get it for around a saw buck, then it's worth it. Oh, my wife just reminded me that the majority of you won't understand the phrase "saw buck". It means five dollars.

I really do not understand why there are so many bad comments. It's a solid game, dynamic, colorful etc. Characters are fun to play - and You just have to complete the game, no additional content just a story. No paygap, just a HACK AND SLASH
