Pros
Pro Non-stop action
Furi is a really fast-paced game and it never slows down during the boss battles. You'll be constantly dodging, shooting, parying, slashing and dashing across the boss arena. All this together with the invigorating electronic soundtrack will get your blood pumping.
Pro Each character is done very well
The characters designed by Takashi Okazaki (creator of Afro Samurai) fit Furi’s cyberpunk themed world really well. Each one has a great background and unique style of art that really meshes with their fighting style. On top of that, the levels designs reflect each boss character’s personal hell, further adding to their characterization.
Pro A boss battles-only game
You'll have to immediately learn all mechanics such as dodging, parrying, and attacking to beat them. From there on it's all about noticing patterns and maximizing the time you spend attacking. You also need to consider your positioning at all times and carefully plan your movements. All of this is more difficult because you have to do it a breakneck speed. When you finally manage to beat a boss it feels like an accomplishment.
Pro Holds up incredibly well
Titan Quest is over 10 years old now, and it is still widely played. It even saw a remastered "Anniversary Edition" in August of 2016, drawing in more players, old and new.
Pro You can choose the speed you want to play at
Titan Quest is unique among ARPGs in that you get to choose the game speed. You can be a leisurely player and take things slowly, or you can go hard and play the game on very fast settings. The fact that you get to choose adds another level of enjoyment to the game.
Pro Replayability through different classes
There are a plethora of classes that open up upon leveling to the second level, once one is chosen the others will be gone for that game session. This means that a different playthrough will be needed to explore what all the different classes offer, making for quite a lot of playtime.
Pro Lots of loot to find
There is quite a lot of loot in the game to be found, which drives the player to continue playing, just to find that better weapon or piece of armor. The loot is also color coded when dropped, making it easy to discern what is worth picking up or leaving behind.
Pro Tons of customization
There are 30 different classes of characters to choose from within the game with 150 character skills that they can learn. This way users can customize their character to their liking and playstyle.
Cons
Con Very steep difficulty curve
Furi starts out easy, teaching you the various mechanics to beat the bosses. When the tutorial fight's over, each new battle gets increasingly more difficult. Bosses have more health, more phases, more abilities, and more patterns you have to memorize.You can set the difficulty to "Promenade", which makes it a lot easier, but will prevent you from earning any trophies.
Con Combat feels a little static
Con Save anywhere does not save character placement
This means that there will be some retreading of areas once a save is loaded as the character will not be in the same place as where they were left off. This will waste time and can be frustrating having to do this every time you load the game.
Con Disappointing loot at later levels
Even when the player has reached a high level, they will often find loot meant for low level characters. This can be frustrating when trying to find better gear and just adds a lot of clutter to ones inventory as the majority of items found won't be that useful.
