Decided to give Grim Dawn a proper go

@Splat86

I don’t know if much has changed around here and within Grim Dawn.

Stuff has changed a lot, Make sure to get Ashes of Malmoth & Forgotten gods, otherwise game is not worth playing imo

@Splat86

In terms of the world, how big is it? Is it worth to explore it or go out of the way?

Yes it is worth exploring. Tons of hidden bosses and quests. Grim Dawn's scale compared to other open world games (Possible spoiler)

@Splat86

Is there any form of crafting?

Yes. You always craft relics. And other gear can be crafted too. Leveling gear, stepping stone gear and end-game gear. Each blacksmith provide certain bonuses to crafted gear.

@Splat86

I guess that world bosses are a thing here and also some form of dungeons or other hard content to do?

Yes, there are. 5 skeleton key dungeons with a separate boss. Ravager, Callagadra, Lokarr and Crate and Mogdrogen are the “world” bosses. Also there is shattered realm. A sort of version of greater rifts from diablo 3.

@Splat86

In terms of the exploration of the world, is there any verticality? By this I mean, the exploration is all of it at surface level or are there underground areas like catacombs, crypts and so on?

Does it matter if it is vertically you will still not “see” it like that but yes there are many dungeons.
