I preordered this game and have been playing it the past few days. The artistic style and atmosphere of the game is perfect. Monster design is outstanding. Combat is fun and requires strategy so that you don't get trapped in a corner. Official forums suggest a mod scene should eventually emerge. Puzzles aren't impossibly hard, and there are lots of secrets to find. At no point in my playthrough so far have I felt under or overpowered. Everything is doable, but may take a couple of reloads if you mess up. Any aspect of Legend of Grimrock that you may recognize from other dungeon crawlers, Grimrock has improved on greatly. While some people may complain about the lack of hotkeys for quickly swapping weapons, or using healing potions, I feel it creates a sense of urgency and contributes positively to the atmosphere of the game. Looking forward to expansions, and user-generated content.
