Nov. 2024

Possibly the best ARPG ever made (and I've tried a lot of them). I love Path of Exile (4000hrs) and Diablo II (~3000hrs), Grim Dawn fits nicely in-between in terms of complexity, depth and pace. I now use this as a filler between PoE seasons/burnout. It actually has a story (still no idea about the law of PoE, apart from never trust a woman who smells of fish... probably a valuable life lesson there somewhere) and meaningful quests/decisions. The thing that stood out for me is it puts the RPG in ARPG, as well as great itemisation, very novel ability & skill systems, good crafting & a faction system. It is easy to pick up but far deeper than you think when you first start playing. I'm willing to fight you if you disagree although I can't see without my glasses on and I have Meniere's disease, so I may fall over, but I think it's worth the risk. I strongly recommend picking up the definitive edition as the DLCs are great as well.

This is my opinion after 1,500+ playtime (I'm not a game journalist or game expert). I find the game interesting, the plot is not very rich, but it is entertaining. Thanks to the wide variety of classes, this game has a lot of replayability. All levels of difficulty are a good challenge for those who have experience with the class system. Some enemies may seem repetitive, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous. Bosses on high difficulties offer a good challenge. The graphics are good and maintain a retro and dark style, very suitable for the game. The game is fluid and the controls are very responsive. I recommend the game because: -The developers continue to update it (You can see the love that the developers have for the game and its community). -There is an active and friendly community. -It is a well optimized game. -The DLCs offer to expand the lore of the game and give you dozens of hours of exploration, maps, loot and new enemies, and they are not just cosmetics or 1 map. Overall, I think it is excellent and because of the number of classes and their combinations, as well as the game updates, you will spend hours trying out new skills and characters.

10 dollars cheaper than Last Epoch 45 dollars cheaper than Diablo 4 8 years ago released and still getting updates 3 simple cosmetics that do not cost 15 USD 2 pretty good expansions 1 character that can multiclass however the hell you want to play This game is actually the goated ARPG they don't want you to know about. Get lost in it and just have fun.

March 2024

This is my comfort game. When I don't know what to play, this is the game I'll boot up. I got it back during the pandemic when I was having wifi latency issues with online games. The game being offline and pauseable (in single player) was the initial selling point- I couldn't play PoE or D3 at the time, and I really needed to scratch the ARPG itch. That said, I still really love the pause feature, it's great to walk away for however long ya need and pick it back up later. Grim Dawn ended up becoming my favorite game. I'm kinda old now and maybe that's also part of the appeal of Grim Dawn for me- it definitely has a bit of an oldschool feel to it, mostly because it's running an updated version of the Titan Quest (1) engine. That being said, there are plenty of mods available that work well (textures, lighting, etc) for a more updated feel. Either way, the game is going to feel a bit dated, but in a good way that nothing else quite hits, in my opinion. The build variety is varied and interesting- there's always something new to try. There are tons of secret areas (and some hidden quests), the lore notes you find are sometimes really interesting and brutal, exploration is definitely rewarded in this game, which is something that sets it apart from others like PoE and Last Epoch. I could go on way too long about how much I love this game. I'm currently trying to get lvl 100 hardcore achievement, which has been its own journey in itself lol. I've played D3, PoE, Torchlight 2, Chronicon, Last Epoch (since early access), Victor Vran, some D2.... Grim Dawn's still my favorite. Oh, and there's been a massive update recently, and a new Expansion on the way. The devs are great, game is great. TL;DR Get this game if you love arpgs

Feb. 2024

Ok hear me out. We are having the best year in ARPGs ever. Play Last Epoch *today* with its 1.0 release. Play Grim Dawn when The Fangs of Asterkarn expansion comes out some time this year. Play Path of Exile 2 in June when it releases. Play Diablo 4 after five years, when you can get it for $10 with all the expansions. Best to ignore that boring pile of mediocrity for now, with so many shining stars all around.
