I’ve been playing ARPGs since Diablo 1 and I am pretty confident that I can say I have played most ARPGs released for the PC so I think I have a decent idea of what is good and what is bad. In short, Grim Dawn is as good as it gets. For someone who was really excited for Diablo 3 and actually waited in line for its physical release (something I had previously never done) I found it to be a HUGE disappointment. I have loved Diablo 1 and 2 while also thoroughly enjoyed Titan Quest and its expansions, Torchlight 1 and 2, Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 (3 not so much). Of all these games and many unmentioned which I either forget about now or don't feel are worth bringing up I think that Grim Dawn is the best that the genre has to offer. It is clearly made by people who care about PC gaming and ARPGS in particular as they have laid out a phenomenal world, fantastic characters, and solid game mechanics. This is everything I wished Diablo 3 to be and more.

TL;DR
Best ARPG on the market. Blows away Diablo 3. Don't even think about it if you like ARPGs just buy it and play the best ARPG ever made (or at least right up there with the best).

9/10
