GRIME II

Без преувеличения лучшая метройдвания последних лет

TLDR: Still a very fine MV, but Grime 1 was better. There's a few things I really didn't like about Grime II, which the first game did better. First of all, I didn't use any of the "forms" in the entire playthrough, since they felt useless. They are too slow, too weak, and underwhelming in what they do. Since this is pretty much the main skill mechanic, that's not good. The skill tree for the hunting points was also disappointing. Most of the stuff there was just not interesting. Traversal can get VERY annoying, because many parts of the maps are designed in a way that simply don't allow you to travel through them quickly, even after you got all the abilities. You constantly need to stop and do this charge jump that takes an eternity to charge up, and then there's all these obstacles that you must bypass by "flowing" through the wall, which felt very clusmy to pull off. Then you have cases where you can traverse a section only from one direction - no going back the other way, but the minimap doesnt show this. Finally, when going downwards, the camera doesn't adjust at all and you have like 1 feet between your character and the bottom of the screen. Good luck trying to react to spikes on the ground with this. I wanted to 100% all sections, but since the traversal was so annoying I just gave up on that. Grime 1 was way more fun to move around in. And my god, these games must stop making you walk from a checkpoint back to a boss when you failed the fight. It's so pointless. Grime 1 had this too though, but my patience for this goes down with every MV that I play. Especially when there is NOTHING between the checkpoint and the boss in terms of enemies or challenging platforming, as is the case with Grime II. it's just a bit of walking and jumping. BOOOORING. What's so hard about a simply screen "retry" or "back to checkpoint" when you die to a boss? Because of this, I didn't beat the final boss, even though the walk to it is the quickest in the game, just a few seconds. But I tend to skip the final boss in MVs in general - since I know there is no reward and nothing more to do afterwards. I don't need to see the credits roll. But if there was a simply immediate retry option, that could have motivated me to keep trying. Aside from all that, Grime II is mainly more of Grime. Which is a good thing. I will still give this a thumbs up, but if you haven't played Grime 1 yet - go with that instead. At least I had a better time with the first game.

I don't normally write reviews. But I have to say this to the devs/team... B R A V O! you guys outdid yourselves and I am so proud of you all. I played the first game, was very fun.(mostly the atmosphere stuck with me) The second game though... attack cancel? CHECK insane parry mechanics? CHECK insane platforming? CHECK CHECK CHECK(definitely highlight of ths game, also extremely fresh and unique mechanics in comparison to other metroidvanias) map insanely huge? CHECK banger music? CHECK interesting story? CHECK (I managed to understand this one better than the first one surprisingly) I am sure I am forgetting a lot more stuff on the positive side of things but there were just so many I can't remember them all. Only thing I would say I had some "gripes" on is about the save locations/points being too few and far in between. (but you get used to it). And maybe some boss replayability function?(especially for the last boss)

Not even just an amazing game, Grime 2 is a genuinely amazing experience Id recommend to anyone who even remotely enjoys metroidvanias. The areas, the characters, the combat, the music, the atmosphere, the story, everything is just so well done and oozes quality and passion that I just cant recommend it enough. I also especially liked how the story had plenty of its own worldbuilding and elements completely seperate from grime 1, while still having connecting threads for the observant to pick on and theorize about. It expands the shared setting, elaborating on some of the concepts and ideas of grime 1, while still having plenty of mystery like any good cosmic horror should. I would not call the game perfect, and of course have a few gripes of my own, but the pure passion and talent involved in its creation is enough to completely bury my few nitpicks in my opinion of this game. I LOVE GRIME TWOOOOOOOO

i enjoyed it

VERY ADDICTED
