Random Video Game Review - Grim Dawn

Time for another Steam game that, at the time of writing this, is (or was) on sale at the moment. You often hear developers say about the different "engines" that are used when making a game. These are basically described as a tool to help develop the game. They become a key asset to a game's development, which can often make the development of some games easy, but others not so much. The latter reason is one of the reasons why LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is getting released in a couple of weeks, having been delayed for so long. The former reason on the other hand is a reason why most newly released PC games are being exclusive to Epic Games due to them having the Unreal Engine. This game meanwhile took the advantage of the engine used to create Titan Quest, which also helped set the foundation for the game too. So let's take a look:

We are in a dark war torn world called Cairn which was once a proud empire that has been bought to ruin with the humans that live within being close to extinction. It's also caught in the middle of a war between two different factions. So yeah, pretty depressing, but the point of games often is to bring players into worlds not quite their own and give you the best experience a game can give you. Like most RPG games, much of this game is all about face paced combat and collecting various bits of loot. It also has a crafting system much like the one used in the Warcraft games and builds upon many elements used in Titan Quest which I guess makes this game, that game's spiritual successor in a way.

One thing that is very clear about this game is that it has endless replay value. It's also quite fresh in terms of the elements that it uses from other games, which this game both builds upon and makes something new out of. Such things like hacking and slashing and so forth. It's got a good retro feel to it and is worthy of being a defining game if nothing else. 9/10
