    Grim Dawn is possibly one of the greatest ARPGs of our time. In an industry full of over-hyped, broken games with a sinful amount of micro-transactions and other immoral monetization practices, Grim Dawn is a jewel in the mud, that delivers a fascinating Diablo-like experience.

      Be careful playing Pets on low Quality PC. Or in Multiplayer where you are not the Host.
      Pets suck the FPS in GrimDawn on masses. And combined fighting Pets in MP in Port Lagbury itself will make you Cry.
      Have a great experience anyways.

      - The Ashes of Malmouth and Forgotten Gods DLCs are huge. Entire new campaigns, enemies, classes, items, and even game modes. I recommend getting both, the game gets an immense depth with them.
      - Optionally there's the Crucible DLC which is smaller: just a collection of arenas with waves of increasingly difficult monsters. It's a great challenge if you like arena-like gameplay. No new items or monsters or anything.
      - The rest of the DLCs are for visuals only: decorative gear, companion pets that do not attack, and other small things. Personally, I bought them all to support the developers, but then I never used any of them. You can totally skip on those since they add nothing relevant to gameplay.

    • @bearwitty9690
      @bearwitty9690 2 роки тому +3

      You could start without them and then buy them once you've "finished" the campaign. They do add a lot though, f.ex. Ashes of Malmouth adds a transmogrifyer, 2 new acts, 2 new classes, new game modes and such. Forgotten Gods adds yet another class, new game mode, Rune Augments, etc. - both expansions include new locations and more items and Constelations + more.
      I'd probably prefer buying everything but there's certaintly a lot of content in the base game alone. And as mentioned, you can always play the entire base campaign and THEN add the expansions to get access to the other acts.

      IMO the game controls better, and is more challenging than TQ. The grind is medium/low.
      The vast majority of builds can get fully equipped with all BIS items in end-game with a bit of general farming.
      It's rare, but other builds need extremely specific items that require a lot of target-farming.

      Oh, that's my main character; it's actually a Trickster: Shaman + Nightblade.
      But the Morgoneth set that he's wearing with all those spikes does look cool tbh.
      A Deathknight in GD I think is made with: Soldier + Necromancer.

    Not gonna lie, I dont see a difference between this and any old diablo style game or diablo in general. Convince me why this game is different because this video didn't.
