What players say
While clunkier than the new Grime 2 it's an amazing game. The first story to pull me back into playing and I learned to love the game
GRIME - Recommended - 8/10 Really unique Soulslike/Metroidvania with great combat, builds and boss fights. I enjoyed it a lot. The platforming was really hard for me because I am honestly terrible at platforming , but I still had a great time.
Really really glad I played this, this is a peak Metroidvania. The visuals are really really good looking and set the tone very well for the specific area you're in, and they look stunning after the final boss, at least for the Kinship ending, I didn't see the others yet. I didn't really care for the soundtrack much but I didn't mind it. The combat felt overall pretty good, but sometimes felt kinda janky. It may...
