My problem with grimrock was really the combat, and how pointless my characters were. I hope 2 does it better, because I do enjoy the old dungeon crawl, although I like an overworld as well

My faves are wizardry series on PC, and there was 1 on PS2

Shin megami tensei 1 and 2 are very hard but really rewarding if you like Etrian

Class of heroes was good if I remembered the name right (think that's on DS)


I love making my dumb classes and dungeon diving

All the Etrian Odyssey games, Might & Magic 4/5 on PC, SMT Strange Journey but you've probably played that one. Wizardry if you're into the really hardcore unforgiving stuff.

The atmosphere was great. The monster designs needed some work, the secrets were really like, the same thing 100x over, and the puzzles weren't that great. Hoping 2 fixes this and if imps say it's good I will try it

I have. It's a cool game with great music and graphics. It has some oldschool stuff that can be annoying (like getting 1shot ambushed) and it tells you essentially nothing whatsoever. I thought it was pretty fun, issues aside.

I remember one puzzle that was just "follow directions that were on a piece of paper you found a long rear end time ago". I held onto the piece of paper because I figured it would be important but I was still pissed that it was that stupid.

I only heard about this after already buying 4, but I really wanna buy it, maybe for Christmas.

Nocturne was like, my second favorite RPG of all time, so When I say 4 I was like... Ohhhh poo poo. But it's not as good, still a good game though

Well, you have a point here. The skills weren't very exciting, and the nonmagic class didn't got anytihng that isn't just making basic attack stronger.

I still think that Grimrock was a good game, but it could be much better. Let's hope that the sequel improves on those issues :)

yeah strange journey is fantastic. really good dungeons, great music, its pretty challenging, and it has a pretty interesting story with cool characters . the combat system isnt press turn which can be sorta off putting at first but its not bad.
