Grim Dawn

If, like myself, you are a fan of the Torchlight games then I would offer this as an enjoyable gaming experience. You can play as one of six classes, varying from mostly 'physical skills', to those chooing a more 'magical' path. The game mechanics are pretty straigtforward, and the graphics are just fine. There are 3 difficulty levels, and as you progress through the game you're opponents become harder to overcome!! It does feature some similarities to Diablo 3, from what I recall. Overall a very satiisfying experience. On a technical note, for those using using multiple displays (setup as different screens), use windowed full screen to avoid crashing the game!! Recomended!

Bought all the games x2 with my brother and I must say that this game is amazing. Specially the first expansion. The atmosphere, the music and the beautiful world. All in all a great game. I played both Diablo 3 and Path of Exile and Grim Dawn is by far the best of the three for me. Highly recommended!

I'm new to the ARPG genre. Very little experience with these games. So I'm glad Grim Dawn is the one I've truly started out with. GD does a ton of things right. It's little stuff that makes it feel like actual gamers developed it. Gameplay is smooth, fast, and functional. Load times are super quick. Hotkeys make sense, and if they don't, they're customizable. Lore is everywhere: the dialogue is technically skippable, but I found it very well-written and always informed me of better choices to make. Endlessly customizable character classes. The last boss is far from the endgame, a la the Pokemon series; if you want Legendary equipment, your journey has only begun. The game was daunting to me as a newcomer. You get a lot of items and stats thrown at you you may not be ready for. That's fine. Take your time. There's tons of grinding to do anyway. Oftentimes, traveling by foot feels like a chore, but I blame that on GD's excellent Rift fast-travel system. On occasion, shadows tear onscreen in an annoying, but not unplayable, fashion. These are minor qualms. Given all the intangible positives I felt playing Grim Dawn, the drawbacks do not define the game. I don't know how well GD compares to Diablo, or Wolcen, or whatever else is in this genre. But GD has set a very high bar for my enjoyment, indeed.

As far as isometric slasher RPGs go, Grim Dawn is certainly one of the best I have played. Story progress feels rewarding, the loot is varied, the leveling is smooth and the progression system is surprisingly deep. The graphics are very pretty, the lighting is quite dynamic and the sound design is robust, (albeit, the voice acting is somewhat weak). This is a game that isn't reinventing the wheel, but it feels fresh and exciting stepping into this game world. If you are as much a fan of Diablo 2 or Path of Exile as I am, you will have a lot of fun diving into Grim Dawn.

Picked Grim Dawn on Sale and left it there to linger for a year or two. Recently picked up Diablo 1 & Hellfire and started playing it. Diablo 1 is the first rpg I loved but nowadays it's a bit technologically impaired due to it's age. So I changed to Grim Dawn and it was a worthy addition! The story is excellent (or great) it adds to the flavor of the game. The game-play is unique enough to be fresh but familiar enough to be accessible. Finally, it's Great Fun! Experimentation is not penalized too much while the usual tactics are still valid. Pick it up at the first opportunity and give it an honest try, the only disappointment is going to be that you didn't pick it up earlier :)
