Save Torchlight
Legions of twisted creatures, emboldened by Ember, have begun to swarm up from the caves below the sleepy enclave of Torchlight. In this critically acclaimed Action-RPG, you'll choose from three powerful heroes to adventure the depths for endless treasure and glory. Your adventure is unique, through randomly generated environments with new monsters, treasures, puzzles, and items each time.

I feel like TL1 and 2 have to have been free at some point well before this. Or at least incredibly cheap.

Odd get.

though Torchlight has the pedigree of the Co-designers of Diablo, I still prefer Fate. I wish that would get updated for the current age.

Interesting that Torchlight would be chosen as the free game.
While it's an incredible game (absolutely adore Torchlight 1), it's a game that's been in the humble indie bundle #6 which you could pick up for a whopping $1.00, and it was also sold previously for below $3.00 during various sales). My point is that most anyone who wanted it, has likely gotten it.

Torchlight 1/2 are fairly worthless but good games at least?

Anyway here's a torchlight 2 key to prove my point

Elsewhere for 8 minutes
The pattern is pretty obvious at this point, Torchlight Legends will be Epic exclusive. F2p mmo from Perfect world using the torchlight IP.

It is a bit puzzling, the shall we say appeal of the free games has dropped off since Subnautica, Slime Rancher and Axiom Verge. Epic can't be struggling to find games willing to be given away for free with the large cheque that follows, maybe the exclusivity for the next game that comes with it has become a harder sell.

That's been my impression of most of the stuff they've given out apart from the first few.

Fucking love TL2. Beat the main story with every class and a bunch of times with mods.
The class variety was just so good.
My favourite ones were a wand wielding Outlander (due to the high focus permanently double attacking, insane glaive damage and so on) and a cannon wielding summoning Engineer (my pet had only summoning spells, I had every bot + the spiders, and the cannon rightklick ability was insane, too. It was so, so good). It was really refreshing compared to D3s dull as hell rune system.

Not sure where to post this but anyone else having major issues with the Epic Game Store? I've been trying for days to be about to download the Beyond Two Souls demo and all I get is an error message that says "Product Activation Failed". Any idea why?
