Which is a shame, because it's a very good game - but I understand, it's hard to get into it, especially in such a brief time. Games like Legend of Grimrock require a degree of commitment from the player right from the start. I can tell you guys did not have much fun with this.

It's not on the scale of wizardy or eye of the beholder but it doesn't NEED to be for people to try out an old school type of game in a modern gaming world full of FPS and AAA RPG ME and Skyrim. I think this type of gaming can 'regrow' and maybe inspire other devs (or Almost Human themselves) to rebuild on a more complex game mechanics and so on. I greatly enjoyed Grimrock and I played it cause I was genuinely into it, I left skyrim (honeslty got bored of it), FO:NV (already beat it) and witcher 2 (not all that into atm) to play this little gem. I'm not even familiar with older dungeon crawlers-never played them-but this game truly grabbed my interests. P.S. Don't feed into people who are annoyed on comment section especially if they're gonna just retort if they got nothing better to do. Just gonna flood the comment section with 'drama' and zero insight.

For my 3 playthroughs I've gotten about 32 hours of gameplay and if we see a 'creation kit' release in the future ,people will be able to get ten times as much, 'cause theres always going to be that one devious b*stard that will create the 'dungeon of hatred and damnation' that will run 100 floors deep :P .

What you mean here is playing games in general. I think people misunderstand my first comment, it wasn't towards your video but other comments. I read comments like best game ever, game of the year, anyone who thinks that is obviously floating in some kinda nostlagia bubble. So my "get back to reality " was towards them not gaming. I already explained what my point was in other comments. Its very simple if someone wants to claim this is game of the year, they should provide reason why they think so, if not I will be there to tell them that they are pretentious ass. End of story. “First: How can we get BACK TO REALITY from playing a game to other games which arent reality?”

After playing GRIMROCK for a few days off and on, I can say this game is alot of fun. I sunk WAY more time into the game this weekend than I planned to because I just couldnt stop...I couldnt let the PUZZLES win! I had to find the secrets! . THE GOOD: . The graphics are great..limited of course...thats the genre. . Gameplay is FUN. Overall you can move and do most things as good or BETTER than the original types of these games. . The puzzles are tricky sometimes as are finding the secrets. . If you dont read up on the game too much before playing it..you WILL be surprised and have your ass handed to you MANY times which is a GOOD break from hardly every dying in a game these days. Any game that can do that to me when I pride myself on NOT dying alot in most games is awesome. This humbled me a little. . Monster variety was pretty good for their limited levels. I mean hey I got bored fighting the same reapers in ME too so cant blame these guys either. . THE BAD: . HUNGER is ok it makes it feel old schoolish but there needs to be more food. I didnt like being hungry so often. . There were a few ways to "cheat" the system like being able to close and open doors to literally fight in increments. You open door hit monster close door and repear. Kinda silly and cheap. . Another way was to move in "squares" and you could defeat enemies because they had to move left or right only. I felt their attack should be able to hit you as long as they have a range and no obstacle was in their way. This felt cheap even tho not a bug. . The game does get repetitive after awhile but that said It was refreshing to move to a new area where the stones of the walls look new and see different things like statues etc. . ALL in ALL good fun game. Worth 15 bucs. Here is my little REVIEW of GRIMROCK

I felt sad when AngryJoe made this video... made him look like a kid from nowadays which gets a game that has so much potential inside it (especially with user made content) and he treats it like another garbage title.
