xlcr Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Legend of Grimrock looks like a nicely crafted old school 1st person dungeon crawler like classics Doom/Heretic and maybe Dungeon Master, gets good ratings on review sites by players that enjoy the nostalgia, not bad for $14.99. I guess negative comparisons between games like LoG to currently popular Skyrim are inevitable due to player disapointment with Skyrim being a bit overhyped as RPG entertainment. Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning is probably a closer comparison; but, its more fun action oriented then driven by lore.Can only wait/hope the Bioware/EA folks do not screw up Dragon Age 3. Still wish it was practical for game companies to release more powerful PC only versions of their games separate from the console versions.

Bannor9 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Is this "LoG" game available in 3rd person or is it just 1st person like the trailer? Otherwise, I'm not interested in it. Unfortunately, First person only, and I fell for the op's initial statement and purchased a copy.... This is more like an old win98 style game, very VERY limited ability to do anything. Find a key, open door, run down hall, squash a giant snail that looks like a cartoon, might take a few hits... find the next key, open the next locked section of the "dungeon", ad-infinitum. Complete waste of the $18 I spent on it. Already uninstalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorwynKelm Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Shame, some of you miss the point. LoG is a *great* game with plenty to puzzle and entertain, if you don't see that, you're not doing it right. Seriously. It's a great romp and will suck you in if you give it time. The "limitation" mentioned are nothing of the sort - like any well made game, you use the mechanics as part of your strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
