The gameplay is what you remember in TL2 in terms of combat, but the way they do multiplayer is very different. Loot drops are player-specific and thus class specific. No trading, and while you see randos in your 'instance' periodically it does not seem you can interact with them. In came voice works fine with people in your party. The tracking of your party on the map is pretty bad in that the range seems to be just visual, so you can run around alot. Maps seem to be procedurally generated and respawn after you leave them which can be immersion breaking.
I enjoy it, but I would not say I love it. YMMV

Solid pass for me. I played a bit of it thru Xbox Gamepass and it was just completely bland and meh feeling. It was like the blandest cookie cutter MMO with a few new things but zero playerbase so you constantly feel like your wandering thru a ghost town. Even the combat as you play thru felt like they had a prescribed number of generic monsters they should throw at you every x number of steps. But they all felt like fighting the same group over and over again even if they had different appearances.
It felt like someone made a list of traits a lowest common denominator MMO should have and then hired people with zero interest in creating it to make it. But the art design was really good. They didn't skimp there.

I'll just wait for it to get bundled, which will probably be soon, most likely in one of the choice bundles. The game has pretty bad rating (40% for a Torchlight game is terrible since the previous two are around 90) and I assume they're not getting much sales.
It's kinda interesting how, at least in my opinion Torchlight games just kept getting worse. I liked the first Torchlight (albeit it did have some flaws), I didn't really like the second one, even though I kept coming back trying to give it many chances to hook me but without success. And then the third one from all the reviews and what not is apparently absolutely terrible compared to the previous two.
