    GRIME is a very cool game created by 5 students and available for Free on Stadia Pro. Stadia is free and you get 1 month free so basically this game is free. The graphics and the game play are both a 10 and I have been playing every day since launch!!!

    Legendary game. Beautiful graphics, punishing difficulty, and extremely rewarding payoff.

    This game scratches the "metroidvania-souls-like" itch like few others can!
    In many ways it resembles Hollow Knight with a different style/atmosphere and a few of its own take on the same mechanics.

    I can wholeheartedly recommend this game, and congratulate the developers.

    ¡Un genial metroidvania! Atrapa con su oscura ambientación y te mantiene en vilo con una dificultad bien ajustada. Un apartado gráfico muy cuidado, con numerosos detalles y con parte del entorno destruible permitiendo conectar y descubrir nuevas zonas con secretos y retos por enfrentar. Muy recomendado!!

    Stunning graphics in GRIME! Super creepy, ominous vibe, but not scary. Eerily calming. Gameplay is just the right amount of challenge. And I got it free with Stadia Pro! A win across the board.

    Great Game! Really a lot like Hollow Knight. Not too easy, but rewarding. Runs great on Stadia!

    Grime is so much fun, I love the story, slowly uncovering more about why you are different then everyone else, who is this rock population, The gameplay is challenging and fun, I love that each enemy takes a thought-full approach to tackle, and the more enemies you absorb the stronger you get.

    I've just finished the main story in 18 hours and 49 minutes, really nice game, it's a good challenge , I've encountered 2 bugs after beating one boss and some visual glitches on the second last boss, really distracting but nothing game breaking. Will have to go back and get 5 mini bosses that I've left behind. I'm happy that thanks to Stadia Pro I've been able to play this game on day one.

    This game is fun. But it is mega hard and doesn't on board you at all. I have 4 or 5 hours in on Stadia and I still have no idea what does what. I have picked up bits and pieces from hearing people talk about, but I have not cared enough to go looking for answers.

    A beautiful game with a fantastic art style that matches the games title perfectly. A different style of side scrolling RPG that requires perfect timing for countering attacks. Although it is a more simple game it really does show the power of Stadia as it simply would not work with a lot of lag or latency, Does not disappoint.

    Graphics are really nice and the idea of the game is really cool but it's just way too hard. I don't want to spend time getting good at it so I just gave up after about 30 min. I really wanted to like this game more but it was just not my type of game.

    It's not my cup of tea. And will probably never finish it. But the game looks good, runs great and has a huge learning curve.

    Superb metroidvania game with nice graphics and gameplay. Though as to date it got alot of graphical bugs that can render the game unplayable (most fix it self after a restart) but a patch can fix this. Got a low score due to the bugs that has been fixed in the pc version but somewhat ignored by the devs in the stadia version. And it can be a bit to colorless compared to say Bloodstained

    Mix the best of castlevania games with a little of bit from Souls games and you got this incredible game.

    Really nice game which gives me a reminder of Dead Cells, but different.
    Only gripe that i have is that the learning curve is very steep.

    The game has nice visual content and a peculiar game world. I really enjoyed it for a while, but very soon, the game became boring to me.

    This is a great RPG game, it has beautiful surreal visuals, a weird character with a black star in place of his head, also known as black hole, he is also one of several games in the Stadia Makers program on the Stadia platform.

    During your adventure, you will confront diverse creatures with many forms from twisted to surreal. Explore worlds more mysterious than the creatures living in. But the bosses are the real highlight here as the developer Clover Bite has definitely put a lot of work to design and built a challenging combat system which is leaving you at the edge of your seat.
    What is the most impressive it’s the game has been created by five persons. Congratulations to the team.
    If you’re looking for a really great game in the Metroidvania style, I highly recommend GRIME on Stadia. Tight control, beautiful art style, splendid music and challenging bosses fights.

    This is a very 90s early 20s type of unforgiving game that makes you want to keep trying, mastering, learning.
    The atmosphere is fantastic and you learn on the go. The Stadia port if amazing so far (I haven't finished).
    Pros: it's easy to love. In few minutes you're hooked. Graphs and music amazing. Bosses remarkable. Cons: it's hard to master, but not only hard, borderline impossible.    This is a very 90s early 20s type of unforgiving game that makes you want to keep trying, mastering, learning.

When I say unforgiving, it's not that I mind dying a lot, you'll be thrown really far back in the map and sometimes go back 4 minutes to get the same point and die again before learning how to counter the power of whatever killed you.

    Grime is an exceptional Souls-inspired take on the 2D Metroidvania. An intricate, stone-carved world full of mysteries provides a sure-footed foundation for deep, finely-balanced combat and breathless, devious platforming. Best of all, it's a Souls-like that forgoes punishment in favour of encouragement, happy to lend a helping hand whenever you fall.
