“what a game! Feels like wizardry but without all the permadeath. I did look up some puzzle solutions but managed most of the easy to mid level stuff on my own. The end boss was a big surprised and I'm very glad to have…”

“What a ride. Had a flash of nostalgia when I thought how cool Eye Of The Beholder 2 was as a child. So I looked for a more "modern" game to experience a similar game and found this gem. It was even better than expected.…”

“It's good. I love how this game can make you excited to find incredible treasure like - an actual dagger ✨ I prefer this to the sequel, it's more focused - you don't get lost here.”
“Legend of Grimrock is a masterclass in modernizing the classic Wizardry-style dungeon crawler. It captures the old-school grid-based feel while smoothing out the rough edges with an intuitive UI and accessible…”

“felt more annoying than satisfying you're also stuck in the same looking area the entire game as you go deeper into the dungeons levels, staring at brick wall after brick wall after brick wall”
“I absolutely loved Wizardry style rpgs, but, legend of grimrock is something else. Sure it looks absolutely beautiful for a game that's a decade old, you can tell from my mileage it's a serious drag. (even if it…”

“This game has a lot of puzzles and they aren't easy... I'd like to see more classes and maybe 2 or 3 side quests to add some lore... but it's a good game.”

“Really cool game, pretty much modern Eye of the Beholder, even the secret buttons use exact or similar pattern. Anyone who enjoys dungeon crawlers/blobbers should like it, a dozen of levels, multiple spells, items and…”

“A testament of the genre that fails to be fun or engaging for most of it's runtime, the game design is more focused on being "annoying" than anything more, some of the so called "puzzles" (the ones requiring stupidly…”
“Fantastic dungeon crawler. Though the mage class is a bit slow for playing.”
