Grim Dawn is ruined by poor decisions
Grim Dawn had the potential to be a great Diablo II clone. However, it will never reach that potential, because it is ruined by poor design decisions on the part of the devs. On the positive side, Grim Dawn features a dark & gritty & mature atmosphere like Diablo II (this contrasts with the bright, babyish, cartoony, My Little Pony-style, awful atmospheres of games like Diablo III, Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, etc). Grim Dawn's gameplay is also exactly the same as Diablo II's, which means you play the game by mindlessly click-spamming your mouse buttons onto endless swarms of trash mobs. Although the gameplay is highly repetitive & stupid, it's also fun. The story in Grim Dawn is worse than Diablo II's story (which wasn't good either). Evil alien spirits have taken over the world and are converting humans into an army of the undead. That is the entirety of Grim Dawn's extremely cliched and lackluster story. Don't even bother playing this game if you want a good or original story, because you won't find it here. Now I will tell you about the poor design decisions that ruin Grim Dawn. The #1 game-ruining flaw is that the devs choose to fragment the playerbase in two ways. One, they refuse/can't be bothered to implement crossplay between GOG and Steam. As a result, GOG users have almost nobody else to play multiplayer with, since the GOG userbase is very small. They sell this as a multiplayer game, but the lack of crossplay gimps the GOG version by effectively forcing GOG players to play singleplayer only. The devs could easily fix this problem by implementing crossplay, yet they won't. Two, the devs prevent owners of the expansion pack from playing with vanilla players. Thus, the already-tiny playerbase on GOG is further fragmented. The devs could easily fix this problem too, by patching the vanilla game so that expansion users and vanilla users can play together, but restricting vanilla users from using the expansion's features.
