Pros
Pro Gameplay is full of fun, action-packed destruction
There is a huge emphasis on blowing stuff up and obliterating bad guys in creative ways, so if raw carnage is your cup of tea, you'll find a lot to enjoy and have fun with here. Using your superhero powers, you can blow up cars, fry enemies, and otherwise cause mayhem and destruction wherever you go. Among your arsenal are powerful cinder blasts and phosphor beams which leave explosions, charred remains, and smoldering rubble in your wake. There is even a skill tree which focuses on using concrete to your advantage by encasing your foes in concrete or lifting larging cinder blocks and smashing everything in sight. Almost all of your abilities have the central theme of destruction baked into them, so finding things to destroy and fun ways to do it is an easy task.
Pro It's exciting to get around within the massive world
Traversing the huge open world offers plenty of opportunities to climb and jump. Almost everything can be scaled in one way or another, so you'll be free to climb buildings and jump across rooftops in some true parkour styled action. With some impressive superhero powers like a long range double jump that leaves a trail of light behind it, almost nowhere is out of reach. Using a special dash you can even pass through fences or other obstacles. It's easy to get lost for hours, climbing and exploring around the city, while you perform death defying leaps and jumps that only a superhero could pull off flawlessly.
Pro Beautiful, polished graphics
The graphics are downright beautiful. The particle effects on abilities are colorful and have a fiery glow. Explosions look devastating and rubble smokes in the aftermath. Streetlights reflect in puddles of the water on the ground. Even the textures used for the buildings are heavily polished. Character models are refined and almost photo realistic.
Pro Really easy to become attached to the main super hero
It's incredibly easy to jump into the role of Delsin Rowe. While some of the writing in the game is poor for the side characters and antagonist, it never really feels that way with Delsin. He's constantly smiling when unleashing his super powers or scaling the urban landscape. Unlike other superheros, he never feels like his powers are a burden. Instead, he basks in them, oftentimes providing commentary to us about how cool his newfound abilities are. While he always strives to do good, he enjoys every bit of the destruction he causes, which allows you to easily enjoy it right along with him.
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 The evil morality path doesn't make much sense
There's nothing in the writing or story itself that would suggest Delsin is an evil character, so the evil morality choices really make no sense in the grand scheme of things. It feels tacked on to give a sense of replayability.
Con Weak delivery in some dialogue
During some scenes, the voice acting is poor and the writing itself is a bit on the generic side. The voice actors try their best, but some dialogue is so poorly written that it's hard to act it out with any conviction or meaning. It ends up sounding a bit forced.
Con The morality choices feel restrictive
You'll be making some morality choices which can affect the story and the powers you have access to, but the choices themselves are very black and white.
Once you start down a path (basically good or evil), the game pigeonholes you into your choice due to the fact your powers become increasingly better the more consistent you are in your choices. Some interesting decisions will only have 1 "correct" choice if you want to keep your powers strong, as meandering from your path too much will result in a weaker character.
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.
