Legend of Grimrock 2

The first game was already a huge and enjoyable experience, and they increased the fun even more while keeping the core of the game intact but added more to it. The game is how I expect a sequel to turn out to be, the graphics, battle system and combat, and all around it feeling like playing Grimrock I but with enhancements, quality of life changes, and additions to give yet another experience. If you've played the first game, the sequel will feel like being at home. The simple addition of custom portraits for your party members was already a sweet discovery within the first minute of playing. Different classes, races, and a few new skills giving you plenty of options how to approach the game with your party. And the more you discover, the more options you get offered if wanting to build your characters in a direction to your comfort levels. And from how I felt and thought about some of the puzzles and solutions, I feel they've put a lot of thought into how to not punish players for objectively bad decisions or even making progress more difficulty than needed.

A nice successor to the first game, but I had the feeling it was slightly rushed and undercooked in some of the smaller details. For example, the game never really explains what the Rites of the Moon book does, or what bonuses you get from completing six-piece equipment sets. There are also a few awkward balance/mechanics issues. Evasion sometimes feels like it barely works at all, even at 70+, while frost damage can occasionally spike to ridiculous levels despite having all resistances at 100. That said, the riddles and secrets are where the game really shines, and they more than make up for these issues.

A lot more puzzles than the first

Very fun old-school rpg

I came across this game when I searched for "Games like Might & Magic blobbers" and I am NOT disappointed one bit! I went in completely blind, and I am having a BLAST with this. I'm almost sad I didn't play Grimrock I first. Oh well - I guess I'll have some fun trying out some custom maps afterwards. 10/10 you guys, really looking forward to Grimrock III !

Good oldschool game with intriguing puzzles. Enjoyed it a lot, IMO better then the first one.
