Eight years ago : Titan Quest

Actually, for this game I wish Blogger had a gallery function
Titan Quest and its expansion "Immortal Throne" is an eye catcher. That, besides of all, is sure.
Every monster is perfect, every scenario element is perfect. Actually, this was what kept me going for quite some time. The sounds are awesome, the voice elements are ... guess what....perfect.
The weapon effects were stunning. The idea of making a diabolo version of the Greek myth was and still is really impressive.



Well. What is not so perfect was the linearity.  The quests were stupid, to say the least.
Then the weapon itself, I played on normal level and it was too easy. There was no real felt effect of choosing your weapon carefully. It didn't matter. The bosses were no real challenge, had no personality.

Well. If they had manage to give the story and the world a more immerse touch, this game would have been legendary imho. I have to check out the mods sometimes.

But really a shame. But I never saw a game of this genre and style where the visual freshness is still so ridiculous "now". Hey, Nordic Games, you bought it, do a sequel that's worth the initial effort !
