    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.

    I am not a Souls fan so the genre isn't up my ally, but everything I see makes me what to like this game. I am just

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    Cons: it's hard to master, but not only hard, borderline impossible. 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.
    Pro or con, you choose: easy to drop.

    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.
