Grim Dawn

Made with the Titan Quest Engine, Grim Dawn does much more than Titan Quest ever THOUGHT about doing. And honestly, it's even more fun than Diablo III. The story line and in-game lore is superb, with LOTS of reading material and voiceovers. The controls and gameplay are spot on. There are quite frankly... MAJOR features that aren't found in many ARPG type games. Being able to rotate the camera while playing is nice. I like the leveling system. You can customize your character in many ways, but I've noticed that the game kinda pulls me toward using guns predominantly. I've made 2 different toons in the attempt to diversify them, but you'll find that no matter how you build it, you'll end up playing the same way, with a gun as your main weapon. I haven't tried making a magic user yet, so I can't comment on that type of build. You wouldn't think you could improve on a simple mouse interface, yet the gameplay feels solid, comfortable and thoughtfully implemented. Of course the graphics look great, and in Options there are many ways to tweak them. To customize your keyboard, there is a is simple yet powerful Keybinding section. I dig it. I've had it about a month now and I'm still playing it exclusively.

As the title says, I never can really get into ARPG or Dungeon Crawlers, the last one I enjoyed was Diablo 2, but this game is a masterpiece. The sheer amount of character skills and class combinations makes this game so much fun, even playing the same class can give you differing play styles and once you hit the ultimate difficulty you will see how smart you are with your build. When you get this game, please make sure to get the Crucible DLC with it for $6, totally worth every penny as it gives you an alternate path to leveling and also will kick your butt. I bought it on sale for $7.49 and it is worth the full game price, I have played this more than some MMOs that I have, so longevity there and tons of lore that keeps the game exciting.

Started off small, not knowing anyhting about ARPG's as a whole or nor was interested in them that much, but after playing this, now I am dominating everyone. This game requires true skill and patience, not like just basic hack and slash Path of Exiles and such.

First of all I've to say I don't finish the game, It's my first ARPG (I only played Path of Exiles a bit but didn't liked at all), and I can't be more happy with it, you have so many choices, skills, and talents that make the game unique. You can custom your character with 1 or two mixed classes, so you can make your character based on your playstyle. I only have the game base but I will really buy the expansion and the crucible DLC,.. Cool atmosphere and graphics, nice music and sounds, you can pay with friends (max of 4) or solo, so it's a good point to be mentioned. I bought the game on a sale, but I would pay for the game even if is not on sale, because is really worth it in my opinion.

I'll start my review saying that i wans't a fan of arpg but since i played this game i changed my mind. Sound: fantastic music, great sound effects. Combined create a really grim mood. Graphics: as good as it gets in a arpg and as flexible as your pc can go. Story: it has a taste of medievil+diablo+vanhelsing+WoW. A great combination that creates an impressive and adictive game. Gameplay: very complex as an rpg and very straightfoward as an actiongame. variety as you go does the trick. Conclusion: although it seems it is a bit overshadowed by other titles, when you start lifting the veil of societys hype then you'll see that there are here and out there far better games, like this one. i'ts not about just being shiny, it is also about learning with the past and having notorious depth,love and care in the making. -9/10-
