Do I recommend this game? Yes. But with a HUGE caveat for anyone wanting to play on controller. It SUCKS! I wish they could make it work as fluid as Diablo does. Also I'm playing on a big screen TV and the words and icons are SO small. Please fix this. The game has been out for so long, there is no excuse to have these issues. As far as gameplay goes overall, SO solid and so much fun! I just prefer controller sometimes and this NOT intuitive for controllers.
Grim Dawn is a game of sharp contrasts. It wraps top‑tier ARPG depth in an outdated engine. If you love theorycrafting and the thrill of loot drops, and can overlook its aged visuals and weak narrative, it may well become your personal masterpiece. But if you prioritize graphics, story immersion, and a gentle learning curve, it will likely frustrate you.
The devs got a stiffy for PoE2 and Elden Ring, and turned the game into dodgeslop. You get oneshot by stuff even as a fully tankspecced soldier with overcapped resistances and maxed out Menhirs Bulwark and all kinds of buffs and failsafe passives. F**k right off, this isn't fun anymore.
