“Things I like: - You can goombastomp bosses and kill them in one shot. - You can kite and square-strafe (that's my own invention that's an alternative of the circle-strafe) enemies if you time it right and you move fast…”

“Ols school D&D, brings back good times. Plenty of puzzles, some hard to work out on informatio given, but trial and error works. A very cheap time sapping fun game.”
“This is a very challenging, even harder than grimrock 1, old school game with a lot of great difficult puzzles and combats. You can't trivialize things in this game, it will take all your skills to do well, and it's…”

“One of the best dungeon crawlers I have played. Once you finish the main campaign, play The Guardians and The Final Adventure. Custom mods in this game are insane in all the best ways. And in your mean time play with…”
“This is game is everything i wished the first game would have been. Its the best dungeon crawler experience ive ever had. The world is large and the art style just makes it feel so alive. Fire arms are a little under…”

“I loved the first game way back when and I really like this one too! I haven't played it as much, and i like the setting of the dungeon in the first one a little more. However that game was both pretty short and it…”

“Legend of Grimrock 2 is the AD&D version of Legend of Grimrock, which is D&D. I was too young to fully embrace AD&D when it was released, so I like the more simplified version. Aspects of Might & Magic plus Sword of…”
“If you liked the first game, you'll find that this game is largely more of that. I'd actively recommend it to more folks who like blobber/crawlers if not for the approach to combat that makes the player do a little…”
“Too much puzzles killing an otherwise good game.”

“In my three hours of playtime the game managed to crash while attempting to manually save and I lost about an hour's progress. The game doesn't really autosave. I'm immediately done with a game that cannot reliably…”

“I want to leave a positive review, but I can't. The puzzles are either too simple (most of them) or too obscure (very few). The combat being active is interesting, but it ends up being walking in a 2x2 grid on the map…”

“For me this game is the pinacle of the dungeon crawler genre. Played in 2026 and the game still holds fast. Made with love and care, the perfect example of a great game. The only cons: - underwater areas were a bit…”

“This is the golden standard in Eye of the Beholder-likes. It's simply THE best real-time dungeon crawler there is, and so far has ever been. Which is why I got very curious why such a respected and revered, not to mention over a decade old, game suddenly finds itself at "mixed"…”
— a player, Steam review · 90 hrs played“Look, there's some fun stuff in here, particularly the first half of the game. But based on all the dork-ass 'puzzle' mechanics in the later game, I am not even faintly surprised that there isn't a Grimrock 3. Honestly one of those 'roll the credits at 50% because nothing after…”
