i only played a little of both. i like titan quest for the story and mythology, but grim dawn seems more refined and modern, it's actually by the SAME team (today i learned)!

Yeah, that last part I knew, but I started diving into this genre with Titan Quest because the sequel is allegedly coming out this year.

The Titan Quest sequel is being done by a completely different team, no guarantee it captures the same magic as the original.

I'm aware, but it will likely be mechanically similar. If it turns out to be a Bloodlines 2 situation, I can always just stick to the first game and Grim Dawn, maybe V Rising. And all of that is assuming that as I spend more time in Titan Quest I still enjoy it.

forgot about that, I would personally wait for the sequel but the first game is cheap anyway

I enjoyed Titan Quest more, but that may be down to the less grimdark aesthetics. Gameplay wise they’re both fine hack ‘n’ slashes.

Haven't played it. My progression was Diablo 2 -> Torchlight 1 and 2 -> Grim Dawn
