Grim Dawn markets itself as an RPG, but it feels more like an endless grind with no real sense of progress. The combat is slow and uninspired, and the loot system is just a mess, more frustrating than satisfying. Every enemy feels identical, and the game doesn’t even bother to explain how to set up your keybinds for efficiency. I honestly didn’t even know I had to bind skills to use them until I saw a YouTube tutorial!

On top of that, there’s no option for WASD movement!! WTF?
This fact alone makes this game unforgivable! We are in 2025!
The story is pretty generic, just another apocalypse with zombies that are reskinned and have higher stats. There's no real reason to keep pushing forward. It’s obvious the devs didn’t prioritize making the game fun. Instead, they just wanted to trap you in an endless loop of grinding. The more you play, the more you realize how shallow the whole thing is.

It’s like Cookie Clicker or Vampire Survivors—the "fun" comes from seeing big numbers pop up, but once you see the real working behind it (if you're smart enough), you’re left with repetitive loot farming and combat that’s barely engaging.

3/10 – There are plenty of games out there that actually know how to make things fun.
