Love this game. My whole family loved D2, we even played together in multiplayer on occasion. We waited and waited for D3 and it was- meh. Grim Dawn is definitely the spiritual successor to D2. Perhaps more than that, as some of the exact same enemies show up. The atmosphere and storyline are great. No big-budget animated cutscenes, but those have zero effect on play. Gameplay is balanced, and the enemies present a real challenge. {Note to the dev who came up with the 'Skeletal Deathbolt Archer'- I hate you. ;-) } My only complaint is the play time required to get through some sections of the game from one riftgate to the next- I need to schedule a large block of time to try to get through the Steps of Torment. That's a bad leftover from D2- you can only save back at "home base" and not out in the wilderness. Love the multiclass system- Battlemage (Soldier + Arcanist) is perfect for both my personality and play style. So, buy this game.
