Almost all the things that are seemingly competent callbacks to older things are actually revealed to be bad after the initial nostalgia has dried up so just get in while it's hot.

Yea I get it, I liked the emphasis on puzzles and secret zones but the combat was so dumb I looked at a team build guide just so I could steamroll through all that bullshit. Still I enjoyed it enough that I didn't have crippling buyers remorse

If you'd just look up a guide for a team just play on easy instead. It's gonna give you the same desired effect of trivializing the combat and you have the added bonus of playing the party you want to play. Grimrock isn't super difficult to minmax either, and honestly it's very hard to gently caress up a build in such a way that makes the game unplayable.


Don't ever force yourself to play a game if you don't want to but I would say try 1 before buying 2, because 2 is really just more of the same but refined and a lot bigger.

That's not at all correct, the game relied heavily on elemental resistances and deep skill investments that it was extremely easy to gently caress up a build and lose the game to simply being whittled down by the last 2 floors.
