Legend of Grimrock 2

Game isn't cruel - it just doesn't care. If screw sth, you're screwed. After first look at the game, I thought that it is a junky game, but after I started playing I soaked in it. Gameplay is based on leading player from puzzle to puzzle - after solving one, you jump into another one. And so on, and so on... So, player is constantly craving for next dopamine release. This is what makes this game addictive. Game is very oldschool in nature, and does not provide you with many conveniences. Well, you have map where you can make notes. That's it. But this crudeness is what makes this game great. You are alone on an unknown island - deal with it. First thing you can screw is making not working group - yeah, that would suck. For instance: not taking an alchemist is propably making game a lot, lot harder. But if know sth about making rpg teams you should work it out fine. Generally, be versatile. Fights - meh... mostly boring by themselves, but are breaking monotony for a bit. (At the beginning moving on a grid is strange. Fight are mostly dodging around the grid.) Story - well... there is some. But not really. Graphics are nice. Sounds are ok, too. - both not great, just doing their job well. Still, recommend it, if you are oldschool player - if you play games since 2014 or sth, you won't like it (propably).

Very good game, great dungeon experience

retro style like Dungeoon MAster, just better :)

I have never played any game like this game before and I was a bit sceptical but I sat down and played for 5 hours straight. What a fun game!

Legend of Grimrock 2 is bigger, better and even more enjoyable sequel to its predecessor. More environment, more enemies, more riddles, a great story (even though you'll learn that only at the game end, *and* you need to find out that there's more than one ending...). I have a few nitpicks on this game, but that doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed this game immensely. I did. The nitpicks: I'd like to see even more outdoor environments, instead of mostly dungeons/catacombs/etc. I'd like to hear amazing music per environment, instead of just random eerie sounds in cemetry/bog/etc. The skill system is far from perfect, battlemages make more sense than mages, minotaurs make more sense with light weapons than heavy, fighters make sense only in the back row instead of the front row, it's all backwards. And finally, some of the riddles and especially the second game ending is damn too difficult to find out on your own, even to realize there is one. Yes, the whole game is based on difficult riddles, but sometimes there's just no way to solve them without looking on the web. Still, it was an awesome experience. My only regret is that they haven't made the second game available for Linux, as they did with the first one.
