Woooow.... just... let me breathe a little bit... (pausing Grim Dawn, after killing one the main bosses in the 2nd act). Been playing this game non-stop for 3 days in a row now, i finnished act 1 a couple of months ago, and now, that i have some spare time, got right back into it... and god... what have i been missing,,,, an amazing RPG game, that was originally released in 2016; the story, the soundtrack (amazing, very very melancholic music, that puts you right in that cool mood for the battles ahead), the graphics, the items, the interface... everything is amazing. And don´t let the "a bit more complicated than Diablo" interface, and grandiose variety and richeness of items fool you; it takes a bit of time to get used to so much options of customizing your character; there are thousands of items, and magic power options, so, take your time to get used to that. Also, the bar below has 10 customizable options to use magic and items, and of course, it takes some practice to get used to using that interface. The game itself transpires lots of H.P. Lovecraft influence, and that is just so amazing (i love Lovecraft´s books!! lol); at the beggining of the game, you are someone who have just been exorcised from some real demons, by some local people at Devil´s Crossing; but, as it seems, you came back from possession with some powers left, and you have to help the people of Cairn to re-establish order, among the chaos, that the dead brought to the world. Divided into 2 main acts, into one big map (huuge map), the game will definitly give you hours of fun, and inspiration. Better than Diablo 3? Good question. I really love D3, and have played it for tens of hours, but Grim Dawn really gets way closer to the experience of playing Diablo 2, which is a great thing to say. I hope that people at Blizzard have been playing this game, and that they can learn, and put some influence of this piece of gaming art, at the upcoming Diablo 4, to be released next year.
Amazing game; been waiting for this one since late 2017. I was very surprised to see it really corresponded my expectations. So far, i have played the whole first act, and i´m really enjoying it all; the mood, soundtrack, history and game-playing are very addictive; Also, the story takes place in the 90´s, a magical time, of my teenage years. Really loving it all. Highly recommended, if you enjoy adventure games!
