GRIME II

Grime II is a phenomenal video game. Every aspect of it is a huge improvement over the original. If you have some patience and love a good Metroidvania, Grime II is the best one I have played since the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. I cannot recommend it enough.

In a crowded genre like Metroidvania, it’s no easy feat to carve out a unique identity without imitating others and to stay true to it. Grime II does a fantastic job in that regard, delivering an experience that’s immensely fun to play and wonderfully bizarre.

GRIME 2 is a direct improvement to all aspects of its predecessor and doubles down on what makes it great in the first place. Featuring a unique aesthetic, deep combat systems, and textbook Metroidvania exploration, this is a title worth playing for fans of the genre.

GRIME II from developer Clover Bite and publisher Kwalee is a massive Metroidvania that is driven by its creativity and storytelling, backed up by amazing visuals and soundtrack, and does everything on the gameplay side that you would expect from the genre it lives within. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s worthy of your time.

Grime 2 has all the makings of a great metroidvania that overshadows the issues that make it frustrating. The world is beautiful, and the basic combat loop is a ton of fun. It can get obnoxious when fighting multiple enemies, and I wasn't a fan of navigation, but exploration feels rewarding with a solid progression system.

GRIME II is bursting with imagination, from its surreal world to its flexible combat systems, but it rarely gives those ideas proper time to develop. The result is a visually striking metroidvania that is as frustrating as it is visually creative.

I came with high expectations, and I left disappointed: Grime II is not a bad game or, God forbid, bad, but it does have quite a few problems that, for me at least, were quite difficult to digest. There are some good decisions here, including a combat system that feels more fluid even when it's actually quite slow, a storyline that might enchant you, and exploration areas that are designed correctly as long as it doesn't involve Fast Travel. So is this a game I can recommend? Basically, yes, if you like the style and the fact that this is an Israeli game, I totally see a reason to invest your time and money in it, just know in advance that there are quite a few problems here, and that it's not exactly the standard of quality you expect.

If you’re looking for a game that perfectly balances the "soul" of a Soulslike with the heart of a Metroidvania, Grime II is a masterpiece of surrealist action. It’s rare to find a sequel that doesn’t just add more content, but fundamentally evolves how you interact with the world.

Grime 2 is a remarkable sequel! beautifully crafted, deeply engaging, and immensely satisfying to play. It builds on everything that made the original great and elevates it even higher.

WOW! What a journey, one of the better Metroidvania experiences recently. Gave me some of those Hollow Knight/Ori WOTW vibes, with great, solid combat and a wonderful platforming and movement accompanying it. The team has done it once again and improved over the first game, which is another example of why indie games are the best.

6/10 for normal difficulty maybe if played story difficulty will be great game dont know 7-8/10 Loved 1st game was unique but 2nd not Only worth 20 dollar. - 40 - 60 hours long. -advice for me choose story difficulty not good combat enemies very sponge not fun to fight even bosses, repetitive 2d action rpg Metroidvania challenging game, annoying glitches, fluid movement but clunky boring combat, 2 hit u die even from enemies, disappointment final boss, disappointment unjustified bad open ending, unbalanced weapons loool finished game only using 3 weapons others useless even skills unbalanced useless, too much uninteresting dialogs and story. -only good amount of content, animation, level design, when u die u dont lost money and xp.

This game does not respect player time at all. Endless retracking without the fast travelling option is the worst desing in these type of games. No wonder the playtime is bloated as anytime you die you have to go miles back. Rinse and repeat. Shame as otherwise this could be a decent game.
