Incredible Gameplay Review for Grim Dawn in 2024 

I think the best thing I saw her was the camera distance. It looks so much better than the current ARPGs that have recently been released.

This game is so good. Every time I play and find new loot, it makes me want to roll a new class. So many easy to find items are build defining and keep new playthroughs interesting. Deserves a lot more love than it usually gets.

This is the game I have gone back to time and time again every 4 to 6 months for years. Many people make the mistake of only playing through it once on normal or veteran then stopping....This is a huge mistake as the game actually starts on ultimate. There are hidden areas, hidden quests, hidden bosses, hidden achievements. It doesn't hold your hand either, you figure it out as you go the first time through doing the best you can and then collect all the stuff to hand over for the next character to have a easier time of it......then it happens a piece of interesting gear drops for a old character or that makes you want to make a new one....and another....and another.....and another....then you look up and realize its been weeks of playing it and nothing else.

Amazing arpg. Anyone who disagrees, isn't an arpg purist.

Haven't played it in a few years but love it when I did.

never heard about anyone complaining about this games endgame,its by far the best in the market,last epoch seems more interesting because of its structure,but its not actualy as fun in practice,here you have roguelike dungeons,nemesis faction bosses in the open world,diablo like rifts,a horde mode,uber bosses,rep farming,(also alts serve as a good ''endgame'' activity that you cant get in diablo for example),and the expansion will bring something new plus enhancements to previous modes

I was on the fence about buying this. Been looking for a new arpg to play since I grew tired of diablo 4 and a few others. This review sold me on it so thank you.

It feels just like if you were playing a single player mmo. It's perfect!

Hey what arpg like this would you recommended for first players. I want to play with a friend who needs an easy to learn one.

Are you using any kind of graphical mod or reshade? Or is this just how the game looks on your PC? Because it's great, the colors are so vibrant.

it took several times for this one to click, but it has really grown on me. Can't wait for the next DLC.

Of all ARPGs, I enjoy the art style the most. So many little details that bring the world to life, like buildings with signage, well-scaled buildings, creepy tombs and cultist temples, fortresses, don't get me started on how they brought out the beauty of nature. Then you get into the gameplay... 10/10 game, up there with Path of Exile and Diablo 2.

If you ever want any help/advice with PS4 Pro/PSVR or Xbox One X then just ask. I don't mind helping out.. Found out last week that the owners of the hostel where I live want me to look after it.. Already had 6 evictions before I even started. Got a gardener now to team up with the other 2.. Got a good rocker now that knew me about 2 years ago. We're getting there but I will need help. Maybe the rocker will hold the camera for me..

It really is a good fully fleshed out game. To me at least one major attraction is the fairly open choice on how you go about killing mobs. You can bonk them with weapon, melt them with spells and curses, use pets to maul/zap them to dust, or my two personal favored ones, use retaliation gear/talents etc... and watch mobs kill them self's or use passive auras to melt anything that comes near you. You can absolutely be a pure glass cannon, pumping silly damage and dying to a slight breeze, or be a literally unkillable tanking behemoth. You can have a piano skill build if you like extremely active and reactive gaming, or play a build around auto attacks that proc a plethora of other skills and effects. The game has a lot of freedom in choices for the player. Now, about the endgame... grim dawn endgame is not easy, nor is it meant to be. Most builds cannot clear all endgame bosses, in fact very few builds can with very specific gearing, but would you ever want it any other way? if endgame was easily clearable by any and all classes and skills, where would the challenge be? By the way, You should perhaps consider doing a HC playthrough. Grim Dawns HC mode is one of the few i personally have enjoyed, because you can actually do it fully solo-self found and not have major pitfalls that ruin the run, because you lack something that makes it impossible to progress without dying. If you are missing something, there are always ways to get it or something comparable as a placeholder, that gets the job done. all in all an extremely satisfying experience.

Another Grim Dawn enjoyer :). I should re play it at some point haha. Awesome game.

Played the game twice a few years ago, plus the first DLC, planning on playing again around the end of the year once the third DLC content is out and I'll buy the second and third DLC. It's clear to see that Grim Dawn is a passion project from them that they care about the game with all the updates and extra content being made, it's hard not to reward them for that, especially as it's one of the better Diablo like RPG games on the market. I can't say about the complexity of the game mechanics, I didn't have any issues with it when I played it a few years ago, and I'm assuming that it's not much different now, unlike Path of Exile, which I do like the game but it's just too complicated that I've tried to play the game 3 times but got fed up with it, hopefully, Path of Exile 2 is better in that regard, and don't get me wrong, I like having many options, but sometimes it can get a bit too much.

Finding random secrets with powerful bosses where u get back when u get stronger is best feeling u dont need to grind as in other games because its offline

Do a lot of people still play this? I am also looking for something fun to play with a friend of mine where we can fight alongside each other like Diablo 4

always loved grim dawn and the developpers who made great work while listening their community ! But i can still see two big CONS in with this game : the old system where you have to make another campaign in harder difficulty (i always found that boring in diablo 2 back in the days, and nowadays, it is still annoying as hell, and especially once you wanna reroll and try new builds...) (making 10000 times the story is just a pain in the arse imho) And secondly, i think (just like in titan quest) that there are way too many ingredients in those games... Having 10% of them would be plenty enough to farm and have fun... Cheers

And the replay ability with mods is just amazing personally I highly recommend the diablo 2 mod for this game and dawn of masteries but there are so many that are all great just give them a go if they sound cool

i passed on buying this game in 2021 (thought it looked meh) Then picked it up on heavy discount in 2023 and have logged 300hrs since then, it is easily the most beginner friendly ARPG that still rewards veterans of the genre. The lore is easily 10/10. Gameplay 11/10. It is the only ARPG i even consider playing hardcore, because im always making new characters anyway.

Ive made 90% steam achievements in this game and its the best ARPG i have ever played, i loved everything about it. i really wish they made DLC or grim dawn 2. i would even donate towards it if they opened a go fund page.

a great game with great atmosphere and music-

with dual wielding pistol this game became a shooter for me hehehe

I have GD-DE on Xbox One X - Far better than Diablo games. Running through the Conclave at the moment. Lvl 62 Demolitioneer with a Necro 2nd build. Health regen is 96% and mana is 75%+.. Only big bosses cause me trouble and a few deaths. Willing to help others out with a fresh build from me. NOT a PK, prefer Co-Op.. Pick-up filter is set to magic upwards - hard start but worth it.. ALL my equipment is blue or purple - epic or legendary. Needs to be seen. Let me get some help and I'll record a video.. okay?

so glad to see more people enjoying grom dawn

a dual class system, good old titan quest.

Its a very good game, good choice

Playing d4 and last epoch but not poe should be illegal, tbh

Issue is most of these old games are good but fail to update to modern audiences or its improperly implemented

Golden game.

This game looks like titan quest, but darker.

gameplay just looks outdated for 2024 :

Kinda looks like dawn of magic

>didnt play engame >say game is great try diablo then lol

Grim Dawn is the best.

graphics are so bad tho
