GRIME
Description
Parting Shade - Face the grueling platforming challenges of the Abandoned Opus, a new Area which lies at the top of the Weeping Cavity.
Tinge of Terror - NG+ Mode added, along with Major modifications to existing Bosses, and an entirely New Boss, Music & Weapons.
Colors of Rot - Explore Childbed, a massive new interconnected Area. As well as 3 New Bosses, New Music, New Abilities, New Weapons Traits and more.
Feedback Patch - New systems added: Armor stats & Respec. Additional Nervepasses & Weapons. Removed Missables, re-balancing and more.
An unusual material collapses in on itself, the world shudders and contracts, and suddenly you are squeezed into existence.
What awaits you is a world unknown, alien in its own familiarity, and you must survive what terrors you face. Explore your surreal surroundings, absorb the many enemies you encounter, and use their own traits against them as you let yourself become far more than you once were.
GRIME lets you play to your preference, upgrading only those traits you feel most suited to your unique style. You’ll find there is more than one way to break open an enemy as you move through a variety of evocative environments, meet their inhabitants, and discover the source of their madness.
• Eye-Popping Surrealism - Uncover mysterious secrets in weeping caves and face-covered desserts. Meet otherworldly characters in distinct civilizations across an organic, interconnected world - all rendered in unearthly 3D. Face foes born of the world itself, and swallow them whole.
• Death-Defying Combat - Punish enemies by parrying their attacks, smash them from the ground or even airborne, and absorb them to grow your strength as you wage war on a living world.
• Living Weapons - Seamlessly swap weapons made of living creatures that mutate form during combat, from clawing swords to centipede whips.
• Unique Skill Progression - Hunt down and absorb challenging monsters to improve your skills and bring true customization to your play style.
• Challenge Menacing Bosses - Battle against creatures dozens of times your size. Adapt to their strategies, withstand their assault, and consume them to gain game-changing abilities that affect both combat and traversal.

PC Invasion
8.5/10
Grime is a stellar offering that stands ahead of the pack in both the Souls-like and Metroidvania subgenres. Its challenging combat and platforming mechanics add unique quirks that make for a refreshing experience. It does have a few notable flaws, but you'll have a great time in its bizarre world.

9.5/10
Grime is simply a phenomenal game, and is one of the best hardcore Metroidvanias I've played in a while. I'd advise any fan of the genre to seek it out and give it a try, and I promise it won't disappoint.

Beautiful.
An amazing metroidvania. The style is just 1000000/10; the lore is in the descriptions of the items, enemies, and bosses, and it's just beautiful. There's some jank here and there, but that honestly lends the game some personality.

Incredibly flawed game.
They start off by showing you how to parry attacks, and then say that if the enemy glows red they can't be parried. Then there are random enemies that aren't glowing but also can't be parried. You die super easily, so you think you were just timing it bad, and so you spend 10 minutes running back to where you died from the FAR away spawn point only to die again because for no apparent reason you can't parry the enemy. This happened to me numerous times until I downloaded a trainer to give me infinite HP and discovered this is a "bug" that's not actually a bug. There's actually a whole other system based on color and percentage of the health bar (which only shows once you damage an enemy), which they don't bother to inform you about at all. You have to use a search engine to play this game. And sometimes it straight up doesn't work anyway. There are other platform games where dying is normal and not unenjoyable. This is not one of them. I don't think the map/navigation is done well. I spent most of the time wandering through a completely dark maze without coming across any beacons to light up the map. That means you have to go back and do everything again numerous times, because not even areas you traversed get saved/lit up on the map. You level up very slowly. Part of it may be because they expect you to do everything over and over. There's at least one spot in the game where you will have to look online what to do. Even a super pro guy who does this for a living had the same problem. Unlike some other great platform games that have wonderful music, this has none. There are ambient sounds, and there are parts where they get so annoyingly repetitive that I had to mute the game. I got tired of listing all the flaws + char limit. The game is enjoyable enough with a trainer so that you can customize your experience, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it without one. It's the kind of game where they confuse being really hard with being fun and enjoyable.

Average gamer? Stay away from GRIME!
As an average gamer, I found Ori challenging and fun. The first 5 hours of GRIME were like that. Satisfying platforming, challenging bosses, and very unique graphics. Then, the difficulty spiked (or surpassed my abilities), and boss fights turned into lost causes. Unfortunately, lost boss fights cannot be replayed instantly. You get revived at the last/closest surrogate, and have to travel all the way back to the boss you want to beat. In other words: The game punishes lost boss fights with boredom. Rinse & repeat. I don't mind hard games. After all, no one forces me to buy and play them. But GRIME only shows its true colours _after_ some hours of gameplay. By then, time and money are already gone, and an enjoyable experience turned sour. One star might sound harsh. But GRIME is not just impossible for me to complete, I didn't even come close to completion. Again, Ori-difficulty was fine, GRIME-difficulty was too much, and punishment with boredom broke its neck.
