Just finished grim dawn for the first time
I realize that this game was developed very quickly, with a small team, with no money, so take my opinion with a grain of salt
PROS of Grim Dawn
-
Item distribution and drop rate is perfect
-
Quartermaster is genius
-
Devotion is perfect, love it, (thank you for letting us buy back points)
-
Crafting/quartermaster gives you the items you need and are lacking
-
nemesis/bounties
-
Everything that made TQ great is in this game
CONS of Grim Dawn
Items
- Items dont feel powerful enough, minor increments in character/item power dont feel significant, reduces motivation and incentive
Skills
- Skills dont feel powerful or satisfying, which makes leveling up feel less satisfying
power curve/balance
- This game is pretty balanced, but also kind of stiff, putting 1 or 3 points into a skill does not really game a whole lot of difference, i never feel like get past the power curve, this could also be because enemies scale with your level (also a pro and con)
level design
- I never feel like i get to where i am supposed to be going
quests
- This game is pretty long when you explore every area and do all quests, when i finally got to the end of normal i was level 45, and i really did not feel the need or want to continue to epic, i wish there were fewer but more significant quests
