Legend of Grimrock 2

The original Legend of Grimrock was a nice oldschool dungeon crawler with difficult fights, clever traps and secrets. I completed the original game for 100% achievements, even did some user generated dungeons. It's a fun indie rpg, focused on combat, puzzles and exploration. Story part is minimal, mostly through journals, letters and scrolls or books. This sequel is no different than the first one, just with more features like swimming. Crafting is only for some strong late game weapons, but potion brewing from the herbs you found also a thing. There are no shops here, you have to fight with what you find or earn. I prefer this over randomized useless loot. Also there's a midgame place where you can store your items for later use. I read a lot of players were complaining about the difficulty of some puzzles. They should've played like this: you can solve it in 5-10 minutes or less? Cool, go for it. Can't figure it out after 30+ minutes? Search for the solution (this is what I did). The progression and fights are still fun if you can't solve every puzzle yourself. Well worth the time investment. And even with a strong team the lategame fights and the end boss are a challenge. Overall a very enjoyable experience if you like these kind of games. I wish for a 3rd game. Would buy it day 1.

I love this game so much. I love exploring this crazy island looking for every secret it has. If you ever loved Eye of the Beholder or Dungeon master you will love this game.

Nice improved sequel, totally confident

One of my 3 favorite games of 2019 (I know-I'm late to the party on this one). I very much enjoyed this game. The puzzles were an absolute delight, when I wasn't pulling my hair out. Quite long and expansive in area play. I struggled with the keyboard layout for quite a while-my only real complaint about the game. But hey, it's their game, not mine. I remapped a few keys and it helped immensely. I realize this game will not be for everyone. Hell, I can't believe I played it. I'm an old adventure game nut using just P&C. This is worth paying full price for, just to support the developers. Well done, Almost Human, Ltd. On an aside, if you like this game you might also be interested in "Tower of Time" and "Vaporum". Who says Indies can't make great games?!

Not a fan of outdoors dungeon crawling but here it works!
