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!

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.

Great game but the performance...
The game surpasses it's predecessor in every possible way. Wide open zones, night and day cycle. Even densier atmosphere in the dungeons. Cleveler puzzles and monsters that seem to behave in a more sophisticated way. They deceive you, use special attacks, try to fool you in terms of the direction they are going. Didn't play for too long but after 3 zones I encoutner a game breaking issue...The optimization of the game and it's performance is abysmal (I might be one of the few chosen ones though). Framerate is variable and there is no justification for such an issue when you look closely at what the game offers in terms of graphics. No built in AA, texture quality is good but that's it. No volumetric smoke, no PhysX to chew your frames etc. On this config: Win 8.1 Gforce GTX 765M - 2GB DDR5 memory 8 GB ram 1.600 MHZ Intel Core i7-4710MQ Game goes down to as low as 10 frames, making the whole experience unplayable. Many times in random locations, It goes down from 60 to 25 in a matter of seconds. For this reason the game gets 3/5 from a laptop user. Most probably you will not have any of those problems while on a standard PC. If you are on a laptop, I would say you might be vulnerable to this issue. Other than that, the game is great.

Didn't like it.
It's a puzzle game with tiny maps. akward controls. Characters that have no motives. quit after 1 hour of play, so dunno about the RPG stuff.

Tip: Use custom character portraits
First of all, LoG and its sequel are really great games that I have had lots of fun playing through (I didn't play any of the old games that inspired this series, so my experience is exclusively from LoG and LoG II). I recently played both titles again and this time I made a party of historical characters that I was involved in at that time. This really made the playthrough enjoyable as it brings up a lot of funny situations and ethical/philosophical questions about the choices you make in the game. My party consisted of 1900's philosophers and a chaotic helicopter. Since you never see your characters you can easily get involved in this roleplay style. This was my party Jean-Paul Sartre - Human Barbarian Ludwig Wittgenstein - Human Battle Mage Attack Helicopter - Insectoid Rogue Albert Camus - Human Alchemist https://i.imgur.com/NVPPAMx.jpg

Good intentions, somehow badly done
This game is not too bad, and the other recensions basically say it all. I have no issues with the graphics or the sound, in these way the game shines just like the predecessor. A rough one is the controls - it has this habit of "buffering" where you can easily unintentionally do a false move if you don't get off the key right in advance. But I can let it slide. Keeping track of the goals, chests etc. is annoying as the game doesn't keep book at all. This is the players job here. I don't like it, but it's just fine. My main complaint with this game is the difficulty. I play on "Easy" on purpose - if I want a challenge, I choose the harder settings. Even on Easy this game has shocking difficulty spikes and has no problem with dropping you into several ice demons that fencing off is tough even with a single one, and some enemies have a tendency to permanently cripple you, poison you etc. so if you forgot to brew potions using the sparse resources, it can get very frustrating easily. Even if you take every bit of experience the game gives you, it is very, very tough. While the first installation had a brilliant focus on gameplay, "story" and challenges, here it appears that the devs put all ideas they had and crammed them into every corner of the "open" world. I'm not sure what the purpose is to have "challenges" at every corner, where most of them aren't even half tricky at all, so to me they seem like level fillers. I'm "only" six hours in so maybe the game gets fairer after that, but so far I can't justify anything more than two stars.
