3. Torchlight II

If you like slaying dragons in a fast-paced, action-filled fashion, Torchlight 2 might be the right game for you. The graphics are actually not bad, they kinda remind one of World of Warcraft, charming and cartoony. You can choose from four different playable classes;

Outlander - a ranged fighter who relies on speed.

Embermage - a spellcaster who specializes in magic

Engineer -  a heavy melee fighter who specializes in construction to aid in battle

Berserker -  a relentless melee fighter who uses fist weapons and summon spirit animals
