Legend of Grimrock 2

The old class system from the first game has been replaced by a must better one, it gives you a lot of different options and a lot of different ways of creating your party, which in turn gives you a lot of different ways you can progress through a game world that is now much more open. Spellcasting has been given a update and is now faster to use, but you can still use the old way of casting spells. The difficulty settings are pretty good, it doesn't just give monsters higher numbers but also makes them much more aggressive. It's pretty much an all around upgrade to the first game.

I don't think I've played long enough to get a decent grasp on the difficulty of the game. Playing on Normal difficulty, I get party-wiped by the plant monsters in the beach area at the beginning of the game, which seems too difficult to me. Am I just supposed to wait for turtles to respawn to level up? I do like the character race options, as they're inspired and if kept in this direction, can lead to even greater variety. I wish there were more classes, perhaps.

Super RPG games. Perfect - 95%.

Wonderful game. If you liked the first one you will like this one. And if you liked the old Nintendo game 'legend of Zelda' you will like legend of grimrock 2. The game has a way of renewing the past. This game really should be called a triple A game. It's as good or better than those over priced games. Give credit where credit it due.... buy grimrock, and get ready for a battle.

I would love a combat-free setting, as I really enjoyed the exploration and puzzles but grew very frustrated with the combat. Enemies are just damage sponges, making fights against even basic foes, and even on Easy difficulty, long and tedious. Which is a shame because, like I said, the level design and puzzles are excellent.
