Grimrock

Yes, just holding your ground and fighting wont work very well in this genre but the easy mode might help a little bit, altough I doubt you could be able to beat the game like this. (I remember the EOB games I played as a chiled and failed miserably in fights because I didnt recognize to move aroun...

Thanks, seems I will have to hone my twitching skills

Being a person who is not so good at party building and does not particularly like the twitching dance around enemies what would be a descent
stand and fight tanking party with only the odd now and then twitching about ?

Thanks.

If the Mac Beta was not on Steam then I would join in the testing, sorry but I have no time for Steam or its business ethics.

Not unless you bought from GoG or steam, steam has steamplay and GoG always gives you all platforms on purchase.

Can the title of the OPs original post please be changed to say - Grimrock 2 Working with Wine on Linux ?

OK, thanks

I assume by that you mean dashing from ladder to ladder ?

OK, so Legend of Grimrock II has an underwater area, so I was wondering if somewhere in the game there is something that aids staying under water longer, a potion, a mystical water staff, item of clothing etc.

At the moment it seems to me to be a mad dash around and die experience.

I totaly agree with the OP, no DRM. and no darkside ( steam )

I dislike steam because of their business ethics and non existent customer support, and yes I have dealt with their robot support, totaly and utterly useless.
