Runic Games released Torchlight II in 2012. It is an action adventure game, published by XD. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. Metacritic places it at 88. At more than a decade old it predates every current graphics architecture, which helps compatibility and limits how well it exploits a modern card. It carries 119 achievements. Over 32 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Builds exist for macOS and Linux as well as Windows. Cloud saves are enabled. Because it hooks into the Steam Workshop, what a player installs on top can matter more for performance than the official figures. 7 languages are covered by the store listing.
