I don't know if I am going to be in the minority over this but in my honest opinion... the first one was better. Yes, I know. The environment is a lot better than in the first game, it's longer, there's more enemies, there's more loot, so... technically the game should have been improved, right? Well, not really. While the game does shine in those categories, it has problem from a technical and gameplay standpoint that I felt like the first one did better. From the technical standpoint, the game has longer loading times than the first game, for some reason? And sometimes it will crash when you try to load the game. Now it seems this is a problem due to the lack of optimization for the newer system, so hopefully Almost Human Games (I am not sure if they are still around at this point) can make some kind of remaster to make the game run better on modern systems. Then there is the big part: The gameplay. Genuinely the game feels harder than the first game, but also deaths feel cheaper. My biggest gripe with the game is the new system where your character can have wounded body parts. This happens randomly and it is absolutely annoying. So imagine you are in a room full of enemies, and one enemy hits your party from the back. One of your characters suffered a foot injury and now not only the movement is slowed down, but also his carry limit is reduced, which makes the entire party immobile. There is no avoidance to this, this happens randomly and there is no strategy against it. You have to either use the blue crystals which are very valuable or go to the nearest crystal to go back at full health. I hate this, it doesn't bring challenge, it's just a cheap RNG disability that they give you randomly. Another problem is scaling. Some of the mobs that I encountered from the early game are also encountered in the late game, and even though my party is stronger and has better armor and weapons, somehow the enemy is scaled so they take equal amount of hits and if surrounded they can still kill your party. One such example are the mosquitoes. I also hate this, I never was a fan of enemy scaling in Oblivion, and neither am I a fan in this game as well. If you are stronger, you should be able to one shot weaker enemies. It's absolutely unnacceptable that a crab I fought from the first dungeons takes the same amount of hits in the last dungeon. Some of the puzzles don't make sense, and I had to look up a guide to actually solve them. I never used a guide in the first grimrock game. Even though I enjoyed the first one more, I am still giving this game a thumbs up. I think it's still fun and you could still enjoy the new environment and new mechanics. I kind of wished they made a third game though, but we will see.

This easily places among the best dungeon crawlers I have ever played and is a must-have for any fan of the genre. I really can't recommend this game enough. It is absolutely amazing. I already thought the first game was pretty good, but the love and care that went into creating the sequel is just staggering. You really only see games like this once in a blue moon. Grimrock 2 is something special.

I didn't grow up with Ultima, Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, etc., but I still like this game. It's just so addictive and fun. It has just the right amount of difficulty and finding secrets (hidden treasure and areas) and solving puzzles is really rewarding.

So far very enjoyable with the slight exception of gawking at all the walls trying not to miss any secret switch :D

Build your own party. Have at least one spell caster. Pay attention to what you see, read, and hear. Study the map attentively. All puzzles are logical and can be solved without any meta guidance. There are more golden locks than golden keys: take what you need only.
