Not quite up there
I picked Grim Dawn up during a sale as it's claimed to be Diablo II's successor. After having played several hours, having reached Act 3 I've yet to encounter anything that'd make Grim Dawn a valid Diablo 2 successor in the loosest way possible. From that perspective, to me, the game is a complete let down. That said, at the core Grim Dawn is still a very solid ARPG with its own unique style and setting. Unfortunately that doesn't necessarily always work in its favor. Clunky UI and non indicative buttons/functionalities that may escape your attention completely for several hours into the game (or googling for any of the features, really). Dozen of stats, many of which feel useless and underdocumented. Items that drop seldom make you go 'whoa' but more along the lines of 'Well, this will/must do'. Legendaries only drop starting at level 50, so there's no low level legendaries or legendary scaling. Act 2 made me question myself as to why I'm playing that game. That's a really bad sign. Act 2 felt like a never ending, tedious, stale and uninspired grind. Not yet sure if Act 3 can change that. On Veteran the game isn't a complete faceroll, in fact I find myself kitting quite a fair bit. Perhaps my choice of setting is at fault and the game would be less tedious on normal. Overall the game feels 'slow' in contrast. Tthe world feels bland and 'MMOigized' for lack of better terms. I don't feel/see any dread or immediate threat and many of the (side) quests don't really reflect any of it, either. Occasionally it feels like a hubbed MMO with collect/clearance quests. The biggest short-coming in my eyes though is the fact that Grim Dawn Maps are static. So are monsters. There's no RNG involved here, which drastically (to me) kills replayability. Diablo III wasn't exactly great in that regard, either. It's an okay purchase during a sale but beyond that I personally would stay clear unless you're desperate for something new in terms of ARPG fix. 3.5/5.
