Re: Problems with Grimrock 2

Mate, just because you had problems with some specific puzzles, that does NOT mean those are "Problems with Grimrock 2". On the contrary, if people are zipping through this game without hitting any walls, THEN there's a problem with the game because it's too soft. Nobody wants or needs an...

Re: Problems with Grimrock 2

I think my main issue with this this game is the forced non-linearity when it is a clearly a linear game. This is a game where things become easier the higher level your characters become, so the main strategy is to go from easiest to hardest area. You can do some areas in different orders, but it i...

Re: Problems with Grimrock 2

I just figured out why I was having a lot of problems with this game. I'm in the second of my tries at finishing and I missed an Iron key in Desarune in both attempts.

Re: Problems with Grimrock 2

1) When out of food go hunting or fishing.

Problems with Grimrock 2

Preface, I am a huge fan of Legend of Grimrock and will most likely do all the achievements of Grimrock 2 as I did with the first one. It is still a fun game and a good addition to an old school type of game. That being said I see a few problems with the game. I played Dungeon Master and Chaos Strik...
