A Stellar ARPG Set in a Dark, Gritty Steampunk World - Grim Dawn Review
Crate Entertainment has finally released Grim Dawn, no small feat for an independent development studio that crowd-funded before crowd-funding was a big deal. With the game's release, fans of darkly themed ARPGs with deep levels of class customization and visceral combat tied to a great story have gotten at long last the

I like it alot, but wouldn't rate it that high.
Good to see an indie-studio hitting a highscore though.
yes you can play online. You can join peoples games or create one
Any true fan of the genre must give this a go...
it is a very time consuming game whit a high emphasis on boss killings( just like in diablo 2 ) and theory building.
The story is very solid and without spoiling to much , the game has an abundance of really inspiring messages , delivered throughout the game.
Oh , and the game is hard as hell! ( in case you were afraid that it's going to be easy... it's not! ) One thing i would love to see in the near future is controller support ... i feel ( due to the overwhelming hours u will spend in front of the pc ) it might be more enjoyable from a couch or bed or .. )
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

No matter how anyone tries to twist it,you can play POE or Diablo and you have played them all,only thing that changes is a different skin and even the different skin does not look much different at all.
Camera...pfft ,why does every developer have to copy each other's bad game designs,locked camera in ANY game is enough to make me look the other way.
The designs are just soooooo limited,very basic,nothing to these games,basically a map and some mobs...go kill and leave brain at home.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

That is very much the point of these games to many people. Relax, kill a bunch of shit, stop thinking about stuff for a while and just enjoy the ride. Unless of course, you're into theorycrafting and finding the greatest builds and all that. Can use as much of your brain as you wish to crunch those numbers, and whatever.
But these games are obviously not for you, in general. All those negatives you listed were pretty positive in regards to this genre, imo. I even prefer the locked camera in these games.
Quality game, unfortunately for me I can't get into games with top down/bird's eye views. Immediate dis-qualifiers for me.
It's interesting that it took two small developers, GGG and Crate, to bring a new golden age of ARPGs. I hope we don't get 13 more years of stagnation in the genre now, like what happened after Diablo II :]
