Grim Dawn - Fangs of Asterkarn

I have thoroughly enjoyed FoA so far, although the balance was not perfect on day 1, it was by no means as bad as some of these negative reviews were making it out to be. Crate are already dropping good patches and I have faith it will continue to get better over time, just like it did with the base game and every other expansion. Some people saying that berserker is a useless mastery are just high out of their minds. It's incredibly strong and fun to play whether you want to play a shapeshifter or not. Berserker being a strong mastery is not an opinion, go look at the grimtools for berserker builds, there are tons of varied playstyles pushing deep into SR, clearing celestials on ascendant, etc. Many more will continue to be added as people have more time with the expansion. It will almost certainly need to be nerfed, wild that some people think it's trash. I have made 3 berserker builds so far with totally unique play styles and all 3 were easy to level and very strong in end game. Personally, I like most of the level design in FoA. I think FG still takes the cake but FoA is miles ahead of AoM in terms of having level design that is fun to navigate. The labyrinthian streets of Malmouth and endless dull green colors of Ugdenbog are way more tedious imo. The new QoL changes are amazing, not sure how anyone could be complaining about those either but here we are.

I have yet to explore FoA on Ultimate or Ascendant difficulty, but based on playing it all on Veteran and with the new Berserker mastery, I can say it is a solid expansion so far. The maps aren't as tight as they were in other expansion packs. FoA maps are big with a lot of "wasted space" you could say, but I found the vastness quite refreshing. The new expansion maps are slightly reminiscent of open-world RPGs where you can explore the large map and stumble on completely optional dungeons via exploration, which was an interesting deviation for me. The good music and the breathtaking, and varied, visuals make the exploring worth it for me, but I can understand if it is not for everyone. Berserker class is a lot of fun. Running a Werewolf build (Bleeding, Pierce Damage, Cold Damage, Physical Damage) coupled with the Nightblade class has been a strong combination so far, but I am yet to see how well it fares on Ultimate or Ascendant. My only real gripe with the expansion has been, that to finish the campaign you need to play roughly half of Ashes of Malmouth DLC and all of Forgotten Gods DLC sans the final boss. This requirement really broke the momentum for me as I was really in the mood to complete the new campaign before changing to a higher difficulty. Knowing this in advance for future playthroughs makes this more palatable, but I would rather have the freedom to play this campaign without requiring to touch the other DLC campaigns. In conclusion: A solid expansion pack and sendoff for Grim Dawn. I might update this review after trying out the Ascendant difficulty.

Great addition to the game!

Sublime, the best ARPG on the market just got better with new DLC, with even more headroom for already vast amount of options for different builds. No FOMO mechanics whatsoever, yet I am over 2100 hours now over the last couple of years.

gros dlc au top.

Купил не задумываясь! Очень люблю ваши игры, и с большим удовольствием пройду это новое дополнение.
