HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 100%. Any gamer would be a fool not to play this.

It's a non-linear version of Legend of Grimrock with a mix of indoor and outdoor environments to explore, with countless improvements.

+ Huge island to explore. It's non-linear so you can venture whereever you want and get to end game. I beat the game in about 50 hours, but some people have beaten it in 20 or so hours. I did a lot of backtracking
+ Much refined character development and skill point system
+ Combat is greatly improved, You can't cheese battles like you could in LoG.
+ More rewarding puzzles. Some of them are tough, but if you get stuck you can just skip it and go elsewhere. You usually figure out puzzles in your sleep anyway.
+ Amazing soundtrack
+ Gorgeous graphics
+ More varieties of enemies
+ It's like Dungeon Master 2!!

- Can't think of anything bad about this game.

Genre - 3D tile based RPG (Fantasy)
I am an 80s child and have fond memories of Dungeon Master, Ishar, Eye of the Beholder and Lands of Lore. Then it all went very quiet for a long while, but along came Legend of Grimrock and it was ace! It went quiet again then it came back! It is a true sequel adding new environments, game mechanics, puzzles and monsters. You move around a tile a time, need to eat, solve puzzles, find loot and slay monsters. The graphics are the best I have seen for this genre and is a fair challenge. A well balanced game for old farts and those who are willing to try a more retro style game. Ten times better than WoW, although you can't chat up Female Trolls played by men in this...

I'm pretty close to finishing this game and the only thing that's kept me from writing a review is the fact I didn't want to stop playing. It's managed to take a game (Grimrock 1) that was a playable as the fantastic 1987 Dungeon Master, then produce a sequel that was more than twice the size and even better than the original.

It's an absolutely beautiful game that draws you in and keeps giving you more and more secrets to find (typically unlocking elements of cool sets of armour or awesome weapons). The puzzles can be pretty challenging and I've had to google solutions before (generally followed by an "oh dammit!" moment when I realise the solution was right in front of me (okay, there are a couple of purposefully obtuese ones too, but I'll forgive it those).

I've even had a moment that reminded me of Serious Sam 1 when I entered a particular area with a lot of sand (it's a secret area, but you'll know it when you see it). It was a real "Holy Crap!" moment and I actually laughed out loud.

Grimrock 2 is a game that makes me what to play for hours, but for each hour that goes by, I'm thinking "Now I'm an hour closer to finishing it :("

Awesome game!

10/10 What a Sequel Should Always Be! (Expand the Review for a summary)

Pros
- Mod Support
- Level Editor
- Secret Chests and Rooms
- "Untold" Story
- Great Soundtrack
- Guns GUNS GUNS!
- Outside Environments
- Multiple Difficulty Options
- Very Good Character Customization
- Nicely Laid Out Puzzles
- VERY HIGH REPLAY VALUE

Cons
- Some Puzzles, though nicely laid out, lack thought or "Obvious" completion paths
- Atrocious Anti-Aliasing

Just wow. It is not very often that a sequel to a game that I thought was "meh" comes around blows me way the ♥♥♥♥ away. This is one of them. I have been having an absolute blast playing this game, closet comparison I think I can make for Grimrock is Wizardry (mainly 8.) One of the things that I really liked about the first Grimrock game was the replay value and Level Editor that was added, and my god did Grimrock 2 deliver in those areas too! The level editor is fleshed out in a pretty serious manner, mods have already been developed for the game. The way the story is told, outside of the opening cutscene is pretty much through things you discover for yourself, letters in the world, things you see, the closest comparison I can make is to Dark Souls where the lore is indirectly fed to you, I like the setup, and it adds to the mystery of the Island. One of the new things they added was outside areas, which was one of the best editions this game could have made, for one, it allows for some serious modding potential, (Eye of the Beholder anyone?), the other thing is it just expands more on the world itself allowing you to be a bit more immersed. Another thing that was added was a Day and Night Cycle, it is also very well done and definetly adds to the atmosphere in a few areas (The Cemetery.) Next, I would like to give a big shout out to the guns. There are guns in this game! They added Guns! I really shouldn't have to go on any farther on that subject, although mechanically speaking they can be weak, they jam, and bullets are hard to come by. Its a matter of choice though, some people seem to really like them. Lastly on game mechanics themselves I would like to talk about the Puzzles. I found most of the puzzles to be intuitive and fun but there were a few that just stuck out because they were so basic or because they were so complex. The example the comes to mind at the moment is the Gate in the Cemetary, I had no clue what to do and eventually gave up and looked it up. I would have never had a single clue if I had not done that, although there was probably a note or something somewhere. One more thing, the Anti-Aliasing in this game is terrible, SweetFX can fix it, and I am sure if you have a 780ti, 970/980, or a 290x you could downsample to make it much better, but that is something I notice, and I am sure many others do too.

Bottom line though, this game is bonkers, I was stoked about it when I got it and I am still having fun with it. Great game, maybe even my favorite game of the year.

So far this game is outstanding. Not only in gameplay terms but technical as well. The environments is stunning, especially for the file size. Great material work, great lighting, the combat is clean and I personally have had no issues with it so far. The variety of enemies keeps the game fresh, and the sense of freedom is satisfying.
Theres a story told with no voice acting which is no easy feat and the world feels alive. The sound design is stunning, the ambient sounds really set the tone and phsically make you feel on edge.

It's not only fun it's challenging. The puzzles are actually hard to figure out and some of the enemies will break your party in a way you've never seen before.

As a Junior at University studying Game Design this game is a breath of fresh air, completely different to anything I've played in the last few years and that's a hard club to get into.

Seriously if you are thinking of getting this, just do it. It's cheap for what you're getting and it's fun. I bought this on a whim and I do not regret it. Which isn't something I can say about a lot of games in my steam library.

After playing and finishing more than twenty games this year, I can confidently say Grimrock 2 is my game of the year. This game takes everything Grimrock 1 did right and made it so much better. The world is vast, but not confusing. The new classes were fun and added something Grimrock 1 never offered. The story be it still slim, had me more interested than other games with hours of dialog. The most fun I've had playing a single player games in years, highly recommend to everyone.

First impression after 3 hours played: A delightfully refreshing island exploration game.solving puzzles,battling monsters and minions on a beautifully scenic mysterious island.with your 3(odd)companions.searching for lost secrets of times long forgotten.and digging for buried treasure,while trying to keep your characters stats increasing with the pace of the story.good to see this game style is back!

9.9/10 for whats it is.

(i would have given this game a 10/10,but the controls took me an hour or 2 to get the hang of.once you got that down.its all good!!).

A lot of fun and even does things a bit better then the first game. If you like Legend of Grimrock you'll like this one too. If you haven't played a dungeon crawler before you should give it a try. If you know dungeon crawlers as old boring games you should check that one out. There is skill and speed involved here. You can outsmart enemies because they don't move every time you move a tile. They have different movepatterns and do move on an individual base. Nothing is tied to you moving a tile.

Lovely indie gem, bettering it's already marvelous predecessor in every conceivable facet. Adventure RPG title in the vein of old 80's titles, such as Dungeon Master, brought to the 21st century. Pretty, clever and atmospheric. Highly recommend this game.

Legends of Grimrock 2. Is deffinitly a great upgrade to an already geat game. The first was good, the second is better. more non linear paths make things a little more confusing to geet around. The graphics and new textures are amazing and the world borders seam nothing like invisable walls or poor barriers, and makes you feel more trapped on the isle of Nex All in all everything in consideration Grimrock 2 is by far the best tile based RPG I have ever played.

An incredibly polished dungeon crawler that nearly surpasses every aspect of the original with flying colors. The game is gorgeous and it is genuinely fun to explore, fight, and solve puzzles.

Oh God the crabs are back.

They brought back the crabs.

Legend of Grimrock 2 is the sequel to Legend of Grimrock, a game similar to M&M's game mechanics but with real time combat and an emphasis on puzzles and riddles, and can be described as more of the same. It really is LoG plus outdoor areas, guns, and healing stones. The graphics are still beautiful and the game is a ton of fun, but LoG2 also adopts certain weaknesses its predecessor developed. The LoG franchise takes a few aspects of RPGs and completely focuses on them. It is a dungeon grinder in the truest sense, but instead of hordes of monsters those dungeons contain more traps, riddles and puzzles than monsters. Character improvement through level ups and new equipment completes the bundle and every other element of RPGs is left out. This feels like a lot of wasted potential. A real story (more than you are here by accident and have to navigate through the dungeon to escape), character/NPC interaction, player decisions and agency would have improved the experience even more. Now that the developers have proven that they are capable of creating beautiful dungeons they could expand there games to become complete RPGs. It certainly wouldn't hurt their sales.

So now I've played through Legend of Grimrock 2! After I already like the first part (my review here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/alQamar/recommended/207170/ )

The second one superseeded my expectations and I really hope that the devs will make a third one, even more shiny and polished as this one.

I have to say that this game was a lot of fun and the puzzles are really really challenging, some were even too absurd to be figured out without the understanding of hints or things you even may have forgotten over time in the game.
Youtube was especially "RPGDivision" was a great help here. He helped me many times when I already gave up solving the puzzle my own. Given I spent nearly 70 hours on normal difficulty you can imagine what kind of a work it was, to solve them.

This game has still drawbacks and I have to start with them first:

-> Earth magic is near to useless, spells are weak and it takes much skillpoints to get them, on top of that many monsters are resistent to poision or at least not as often vulnerable as to fire or other magic schools.

-> the music is much better as in the first part, and often I even had goosebumps and felt fear. But even though every level has an own "soundtrack" it becomes repetitive. It would be a great addition if the music would be tense or dynamic regarding the situation.

-> The final fight against the Island master is horrific. I've slain the dragon quite easy but then all the new diversity brought into the game how you can skill characters is rendered useless if you want to defeat the Island Master. It is all about HP, DMG and best elemental resistance at the end. It is a must to have strong built party, with certain equipment and spells etc to stand this last fight.

It find it very very sad that this final boss is actually so hard to be defeated, if you have not chosen an "ideal" party. During the game you can compensate any lacks but speed or exploiting monsters, but this boss will tear you apart if you are not properly equipped and skilled, so the diversity is simply not useful at the end.

-> All Ingridients, except blooddrop cap (healing) and crystal flower (skillpoints) are very plenty so on normal difficulty I was too savy using them.

On the positive account I see:

-> a great well thought story
-> very very challenging puzzles
-> very good diversity in graphics, character building (with limitations) and monsters
-> much better music
-> great levels and landscape and lovely details
-> an intro and end scenes makes more rich, what you missed in Grimrock 1.
-> it is good that there are enough keys to unlock quite all gold caches and chests, but you need to be careful to find them all
-> because of the higher environmental and graphical diversity "secrets" are much more hard to find as in Grimrock 1
-> Workshop (Modding) support

I hope for Grimrock 3 very much and Grimrock 2, because of the few but major lacks deserves a 8/10 and a "definitely worth a buy" tag!

Please like the review if you enjoyed the game as did and when you think this review is essential. Thank you very much!

GrimRock2 is great fun with appropriately punishing difficulty level. Anyone remembering fondly of dungeon master/eye of the beholder or some such old school dungeon crawler should give this game a try. Game mechanics are easy to learn yet difficult to master.

There are some strategy elements to the real time battles which keep encounters fresh. The puzzles in this game are mostly logical and fun to solve. There are some puzzles that don't make sense(to me) and it's either try all possible options or do some googling.

Only real negative is the games plot which is quite much rubbish. Not that plot matters that much as exploring the game world is fun enough in itself.

There are unique ways to develop the characters in this game. It's possible to have fairly different gaming experience by trying out different party compositions. This is good as even if you intend to play this game only once to the conclusion you can play it your way.

Oh, and the sugar at the bottom is the game includes dungeon creator. You can make your own worlds or try out some experiences made by the fans of this game. The fun will never end.

This is too much of a good thing.

The Grimrock games are grid-based first-person RPGs, with roots in classic table-top D&D. Build 4 characters from a number of stats & specialties, start with no gear & explore an entire island of traps, monsters, dungeons & puzzles.

The game, though fun, quite often feels overwhelming. The open-ended exploration (until you're stopped or stumped by a puzzle or locked door) often leaves me at a loss as to where I'm supposed to go.

The much more linear structure of the 1st Grimrock (moving progressively downward in one dungeon) was a lot more manegeable.

The game is a lot of fun, but its greatest challenge isn't the combat, it's the tedium of re-treading the same steps over & over again.

Grimrock 1 but bettererer. Instead of going down the same drab stanky hole theres an (more or less) lush overworld connecting multiple (differently themed) dungeons (stanky holes still to be had), so theres actual freeroaming exploration.

Core gameplay remains the same, Might and Magic style grid based movement blob party. Pick up loots and solve puzzles. Combat still isnt that engaging unfortunately, guys at the front trade blows (if youre not dodging around), back row casts spells with an Arx Fatalis "draw your spell" magic system or shoots bows and guns - in some variation.

Myst with Combat, the refined formula. Solid good fun, recommended.
