Originally released only two years after [Sacred](/articles/reviews/sacred), Titan Quest brings combines Greek mythology with hack and slash: a world full of mesmerizing creatures to kill, wealth to collect, and above all: horrible bugs and boring gameplay. Should you play this hack & slash game over others such as [Dungeon Siege](/articles/reviews/dungeon-siege) and [Diablo 2](/articles/retrospectives/diablo-2)? The answer is a definitive no.

Is it worth it to play Titan Quest? No. My conclusion is in stark contrast to Justin's over at his [Random Battles Blog](https://randombattlesblog.wordpress.com/2020/10/03/rpg-beaten-titan-quest/), but for the reasons mentioned above, I'd rather replay other H&S games than trying to slog through the expansion(s) content(s).
