There is no question that Grim Dawn moves along familiar lines: Base classes, a tragic world inhabited by monsters in a wide variety of flavors, nearly constant loot drops, action-oriented combat, somewhat "lite" yet interesting story, etc. Somehow, though, Grim Dawn just does it better than any other ARPG in recent memory.

Grim Dawn is one of the best action-RPGs out there, combining excellent hack and slash action with a world and progression curve that makes it worth fighting through. Alone or with friends, it’s hour after hour of top quality combat and looting, with the promise of many more excellent dark times to come.

Dawn of Terror is definitely an excellent game, both in terms of gameplay and overall gaming experience. I hope this game will keep getting better and better!

Grim Dawn doesn't change the rules but builds upon them to deliver a solid, engaging and lasting experience.

Grim Dawn can be like pulling the lever on a slot machine, the only difference being that the reward here isn’t cash but the gory explosion of beasts and the clink of loot-drops. I know from personal experience that this game has that certain something, and even if you think that you've grown tired of games of its ilk, Grim Dawn has enough tricks up its sleeve to charm even the most grizzled veteran.

The world design is imaginative and visually impressive, there is a strong narrative if you wish to learn about it and the gameplay feels fun and addictive.

Tons of loot, neat character customization, a huge game world and plenty of monsters to kill - if that's your thing and you enjoy playing offline, you can't go wrong with Grim Dawn. Just don't expect a polished online experience or deep storyline - there's plenty of other games for that.

All in all, despite quite a lot of bugs and flaws, Grim Dawn is definitely a must-play if you are into Diablo or other similar action role-playing games like Divinity: Original Sin. The game is still pretty recent, and I have faith that the developers are working hard to fix the flaws and make this title even better.

GrimDawn is an exceptional game and the best of its kind as it surpasses Diablo 4 and Path of Exile in one way or another. Tons of content, tons of customization, really unique builds for your character. Beautiful graphics and sound, incredible boss fights etc. You start from humble beginnings and you ascent to absolute Godhood, combining different elemental powers that give you endless power. Best of the best, Grim Dawn is a classic for top down action games, just don't sleep on this one.

Basically a Titan Quest inheritor in other setting, same graphics, same class system. Haven't touched endgame but I see a perspective in a wide building system. Playing it was pretty fun.

Grim dawn is truly a fantastic arpg with a dev team that pays attention to their fans. Customization and story are great and there is plenty of loot to keep you busy. My main issue with the game which is why the score is lower then what is should be is the combat feels to clunky and slow for me. I do not feel any impact when attacking or using my skills and there are some pointless difficulty spikes through campaign that occasionally would make me stop playing for a while. Definitely recommend if you do not mind a slower arpg experience.

Feels very repetitive. You just spam spells on mobs of monsters. Quit the game after 5 hours in.
