It's astonishing that they keep on fine tuning the game. I played it a while ago with a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed it, but we never felt that there was anything wrong with damage, damage resistance etc. But then again, by this time this game is probabaly mostly played by a hardcore-crowd that aim at getting the last 0,1 "damage per second" rating (which we definitely aren't).

 

[Drithius]

It's largely a single player game, so any changes help for replayability - even if it's years between characters.

 

[Couchpotato]

I still have to finish the game and it's amazing they are still patching it years later.

I think it's one of the more interesting Diablo clones in terms of setting, but I'll bite on anything with "post-apocalyptic" in the description. That said, I didn't play it for very long before getting bored like with most games in this genre.

 

[Carnifex]

I helped sponsor this one and played it quite shortly after its initial release, and will admit to have had a great time with it. I know I'll be replaying it at some point in the future.

Same for me, I only played it for about 900 hours and got bored for some time. But I will try it again soon.
But seriously, this the king of diablo-likes, even better than Titan Quest!

Well, I got bored with Titan Quest pretty quick too.

Maybe I'll give Grim Dawn another try someday, but I really think this genre just isn't for me. I haven't managed to finish a full playthrough of one of these games since Diablo 3.

No problem, because there is no accounting for taste. Either you have taste or you don't.

Of all the ARPG games, Grim Dawn is the only one I go back to. Glad to see the devs still updating the game.
