Just a quick update. Legend of Grimrock 2 is now completed. I got through the normal ending as well as the hidden, true ending. I didn’t do all of the achievements, though, so I can’t consider it 100% completed. Still, I’m happy with the outcome.
The first Legend of Grimrock was awesome. I’ve seen a lot of people say it’s too easy to cheese it by running circles around the enemies. Those people missed the point and didn’t realize that’s how the game was made intentionally. They wanted a Might and Magic clone. Legend of Grimrock is an Eye of the Beholder type of game. It’s a different genre. Those people are wrong.
Instead of dragging this out, talking about how this element of the game is better or worse, let’s just skip right to the chase. I’ll play for about 15 minutes and describe everything that happened.
