Grim Dawn

Pretty Good ARPG, except...

tl;dr;A pretty good ARPG, except it runs terribly and spikes in difficulty. I've played this game for almost 38 hours and just gave up, I was enjoying it for almost that whole time before however. For whatever reason this game will either run very well, or start to melt. My guess is that because this game is "open world" it keeps areas you just left fully loaded. Maybe my rig just isn't strong enough, but I can run it at High with all the bells and whistles on just fine. But if I die or teleport (or even sometimes just walk into another area) the game just starts melting on my GPU. So I'm not comfortable playing this game anymore, atleast not on my current set-up. Maybe I just built a rig that wasn't strong enough, or maybe you need a military super computer to run this game (and yes I tried playing it low with no extras, didn't help at all). Secondly I think this game has a huge difficulty spike after the second big boss. Maybe my character build (the conjurer) wasn't good, but I was playing on normal so I'm not sure if I could reasonably chalk that up to just my own incompetence. And since even though I'm level 50; I'm not allowed to change classes. So I would have replay another 30 something hours to get back to that point just to see if another build could handle this difficulty spike. All in all; Its a good game, but if you aren't the biggest fan of Diablo or other isometric RPGs, or if you dont have crazy alien tech computer I'm not sure if I could reasonably reccomend it
