First impressions of Torchlight 2 are very good. I jumped into an engineer and I feel like I'm going to go down the 2-hander tank path at this point. I doubt I'm even going to touch the shield-based skill tree.
I'm playing on hard the first time through. This is keeping me from doing higher level sidequests and getting ahead of the level I should be for the main story, like I did in Torchlight. The areas so far have been really open and interesting. It's simple enough to decide which path will take you towards your objective and which will lead to sidequests. Alternate routes all seem to join up to each other and exploring has required very little backtracking. I found some higher level dungeons by accident and had my arse kicked, but I've tried to remember where they are for later.
Looking really promising.
