Legend of Grimrock 2
Description
Legend of Grimrock 2 is a dungeon crawling role playing game with a modern execution but an oldschool heart. A group of four prisoners have shipwrecked on the secluded Isle of Nex. The island is filled with ancient crumbled ruins, mysterious shrines and a vast underground network of dungeons and mines. If the prisoners wish to make it out alive, they have to overcome the challenges devised by the ominous mastermind of the island.
Powers of perception and logic are more important than sheer force is, since Legend of Grimrock 2 puts a heavy emphasis on exploration, survival and challenging puzzles. Discover powerful ancient artifacts from hidden secret chambers and buried treasures. Arm your champions, cast spells and craft enchanted potions and bombs to aid you in fighting the dreadful monsters in highly tactical real-time combat.
Design, share and play custom scenarios with the included Dungeon Editor! Create your own adventures and fill them with puzzles, traps, or even totally new items, monsters and environments with custom graphics and audio!
Get ready to venture forth and uncover the secrets of Nex!

8/10
Moving beyond a mere homage to Dungeon Master this is one of the best dungeon crawlers of recent years, even if the puzzle balance still isn't quite right.

85/100
A sublime blend of fighting, puzzling and exploration, but the unforgiving difficulty may be too much for some.

8.6/10
The Legend of Grimrock 2 is an RPG that's as much Myst as D&D, and benefits from the strengths of both.

Very enjoyable but somethimes obtuse
I really love this game, much more than I did the predecessor. this is truly a sequel that beats the original in every way. there are many small convenient changes to the interface and controlls, but the major changes are to the AI, which is less exploitable now, the variety of environment, and the openness of the world. my main issue is how it can sometimes be incredibly difficult to know how to progress to a new area. in particular, I'm talking about the key to the pyramid, which I had to look up after a long time of searching. that is one of the few moments of the game that I felt slightly obtuse and unfair, but other than that, this is a grande ol time the whole way through

Really good!
If you liked the first one, there is no reason not to love this one. They have expanded it quite a bit and it is very fun! Some might find it a bit easy, but there are extra difficulty options to make it more challenging. You can't go wrong at this price point!

Okay for some, for me, it's okay
Functionally, the game handles just fine. Simple controls, mouse and keyboard interface (movement keyboard, battles use mouse). Seems like a decent game. Character creation is simple. I like that you get 10 stat points, 2 traits, and skills pts to spend. I like the variance of races/classes - not too many, not too little. You get like 5 or 6 races each with its own benefits. You get classes like Fighter, Battle Mage, Wizard, Alchemist, Barbarian, Knight, some rogue class and I think that's it. Once you create your 4, you can enter the game. So why the 3/5 then? I couldn't figure out how to get out of the cage, so I had to look up a walk through to realize that giant log in front of the cage is actually a stick. The rest is history. What works: * graphics are ok * mechanics/UI are functional/simple * combat allows you to move around - best way to fight is not be there when someone tries to hit you * level up system seems easy to use * manage inventory weight and food * can slide left/right without having to turn * casters need to keep at least one hand free to cast spells what doesn't work: * maybe because I'm on normal, but encounters are few and far between * In reviewing the walkthrough of the first section, I realize that loot, monsters, etc are all scripted and static - I don't see any randomness to treasure * no money, no town to sell stuff in, not really seeing anything where I can buy upgrades, etc... * seems like every time I turn around there's some puzzle to solve (switch, pressure plate, trap, etc). * combat with monsters that move about can be tricky trying to manage slide and turn and move forward and back * casting spells in combat is a bit clunky. Each time you cast, you have re-queue up your spell * combat is mouse based and your toons don't auto attack. You click to melee and/or cast spells every single time you are free to do so. Each character has a delay after an action so you can work with another character for your next move

Areas that make you wanna kill the devs
Who on earth came up with the poisonous cavern boss area? Or the other crap that has nothing to do with skill or RPG or lore and is just there to make you hate this sht? Good job, devs. You ruined a perfect opportunity.
