Titan Quest after the Grim Dawn
The gameplay of Grim Dawn is very similar to Titan Quest. Despite all layers on top, the grim atmosphere, disturbing NPCs, the numerous layers of customization (like the devotion system) cannot hide that this game is a re-skin of Titan Quest. What is new, and interesting, is the faction system. It comes at the cost of enemy variation, however. Being a re-skin is actually not a bad thing. I think Titan Quest and Grim Dawn are both very enjoyable games and I highly recommend both! Instead of telling you why it is enjoyable (which will no doubt be addressed by many other reviewers), I will try to explain why the game doesn't deserve the full 5 stars, in my opinion. 1) Fighting for and against factions means that you will be seeing the same monsters over and over again and again from the beginning of act 1 to the end game. Your first enemy is a zombie, your last enemy is a frozen zombie (okay almost last enemy ;) 2) You can respec your skills, but only at a price. That you cannot respec at any time means that you will be using the same skills from the end of act 1 till you change characters. Some people love this, like they loved it in Diablo 2, but I find characters with a limited set of skills less appealing in the long run 3) The AI is poor and has not improved since Titan Quest. Nearly all heroes (and bosses) have some unnatural speed skill to overcome range-style characters. Monster can also run back-and-forth between their spawn location and your position, like they cannot make up their mind. Basically monsters have two behaviors: "go straight for the player" or "just walk in random directions and shoot". These patterns are more prominent than in Titan Quest, because there are many interesting range skills in Grim Dawn 4) While characters have endless skill customization options, they all look alike. The grim settings is great, but not for customization of how you look in the game Still, two thumbs up for the (small) dev-team!!
