Grim Dawn 2

[hammerofthegods]

So has there been any talk of a sequel or even a hint of such? GD is a masterpiece IMO but there's plenty they could add for a sequel.

As said many, many times before any GD2 is several years down the line. Crate are focused on their other projects - Farthest Frontier their town building game which went into early access in August and they also have a horror survival game and an RTS game in development. The RTS game will be set on Cairn in a pre-GD era, but will use a new generation of their game engine which is also in development.

They also want a break from the ARPG genre for a while and to have several IP's out there so they're not relying on just the one franchise to bring in the cash.

You can check out the incredible adventures of van helsing, and a game called victor vran, theyre also Arpg's with armies of supernatural stuff and things in them to battle

TBF, I can't blame them, I'll just jump back to Titan Quest and tbh Farthest Frontier does look damn cool - had it on my wishlist a while, hadn't noticed it was by them.

Hope they will keep the funny ragdoll system because I like seeing enemies flying 30m into the air. :D

Agree there. The best thing Van Helsing has going for it is its voicework honestly and Victor Vran is just bland, soulless, boring. For me neither has the replayability factor that GD has.

Agreed. I would recommend trying last epoch though, been loving it lately.

And mobs that doesnt smash you to bits in one hit, but other than that, havent finished them myself. Its more something i threw out there from the top of my head

I've not found any mobs in GD that smashed me in one hit though...I agree The Ascent is pretty cool, I need to get back into that, the aesthetic is amazing and the gameplay was solid.

That only happens when people neglect defenses like resists, and make the typical newbie mistake of investing too little in the mastery bars and thus have too little hp

Similarly to most other arpg's to be honest.

I think next to Grim Dawn and Titan Quest, Last Epoch is the new sweet spot. These three are my favourites.

Although Last Epoch currently is plagued by some bugs after they introduced the huge multiplayer update, so maybe wait a bit till they ironed those out. ^^

Yeah, I heard about that. I tried Wolcen (for my sins) as well, having had it recommended during a sale - it was awful, had to mute the character voices as they were driving me mad.
