I mean it's almost as if some of them have been designed by Mensa to see if you're smart enough to join the club! I got stuck a lot. So you just ping about between problems!Īnd the puzzles are very tough aren't they. This is all so much more non-linear than the last game - the map is huge and everything seems interconnected.Īnd it seems designed purposely to stump you at certain points, which makes you have to go back and poke around other areas of the map only to perhaps find something new there - or a monster that you are clearly too weak to face. While the adventure begins above ground, before you know it you're descending gloomy stairs into creepy dungeons, sewers, temples, and then back above ground into foggy graveyards and bogs. Hex, at first I wasn't sure about this game moving to an outdoor setting, because that rigid grid-based movement system just worked so well for cramped interiors, but they've made it so much fun to explore.
Now that I understand that the only benefit playing a farmer is to have him level faster than others, I really hesitate rerolling my whole party with an alchemist.Legend of Grimrock 2 continues the four-person party RPGing of the original, trading out the last game's multi-level dungeon setting for an island of mystery.Īfter washing ashore with your fellow shipwrecked prisoners, a bit of exploring uncovers notes mysteriously left for you to find and you soon realise you've become someone's playthings in a monster infested, trap-riddled labyrinth. Then I started to think that I could dig some kind of irrigation lines from water spots, towards some herbs / flowers / trees for any result. Then I found a shovel and thought : "cool only my farmer can use it !" (I was wrong). I thought to myself : "cool, maybe in fact adventurers will REALLY NEED these irrigation skills !!". Instead you are familiar with digging ditches for irrigation and the growth cycles of pitroot plants (wtf is a pitroot plant ?), basically everything a successfull adventurer would never need." "As a farmer you do not command great powers and do not know how to wield a sword. Choosing a Farmer, I lost this "special class trait" making herbs grow. When I created my party, I spent some time hesitating with playing an Alchemist, because I liked the idea of "growing herbs in the inventory".
I gave him Firearms (too new to not test it), Missile Weapons (DEX based) and Alchemy. Except I don't see any special purpose on playing the farmer, except being a Farmer (and so a kind of "jack of all trades") and levelling faster than the other classes. So far so good in term of balanced party.
