GRIME is a great metroidvania for those that want something that looks like something out of dark souls without being majorly tedious with dying and running back to where you died just to die again making a game that's 5 hours turn into 20 because of walking back to where you last died. the way Grime handles this is instead of penalizing you upon dying all you lose is a slight currency bonus which isn't majorly drastic as you will die a lot for some of the combat encounters

the OST is great as well as the scenery, the bosses are all fun to learn and the game has a New Game+ Gamemode that i would say is one of the few that does it correctly without it feeling repetitive like most games where you have everything you had previously just at the start of the game all enemies and bosses have new abilities and attacks and scale with you so you will become overpowered at a point but the enemies will become just as powerful

this Metroidvania is heavily Combat Focused where understanding Builds with weapons will become a guarantee with players at a certain point and there is a large variety of weapons that you can use in this game and it's to a point where no weapon is bad or good it just entirely depends on your play style and figuring out what weapon you flow with best
