Grim Dawn did what it set out to do, and the Definitive Edition port is the same thing, only on Xbox One. There are several decisions on the main menu as well, including difficulty upgrades… Veteran mode (which is a checky box) is not for the faint of heart. Controls work as advertised much as I might sometimes prefer a keyboard and mouse, the XB1 controller didn’t get in the way. The port passes along all of the improvements and bug destruction of the original game’s last release without creating many new ones during the process. Rumor has it that the grinding for that could run upwards of three hundred hours, but I’m inclined to think that someone is more than a little hyperbolic. More, if you want the super-secret bestest ever True Ending (maybe). Here, you have the option to create your character, except the only real choices you have are the name and sex of your avatar- the one you’re going to spend the next 60-100+ hours with. Monsters are generally well-designed and animated, but the human characters, including the MC, aren’t done quite as well. Fighting in close quarters with mobs on all sides will have an effect on your heart rate. Graphically, the environments are gorgeous, hand-designed, and decorated with all the ruined buildings and other finery to make for some interesting combat spaces, with all of the attendant issues that can cause. The devs went to great pains to create painstakingly mapped environments that are the centerpiece of the experience, rather than using random roguelike setups. There are a few things Grim Dawn does differently, however. The Definitive Edition is the base game and the three major DLCs from the Steam edition, ported to Xbox One. Fans of the genre will feel right at home, from the action to the loot drops (and the frustration over the randomness of that part), to the various mini-bosses that dot the landscape with no other purpose than to wreck your day. Grim Dawn is a top-down action role-playing game rooted in the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay tabletop game in both its backdrop and lore. In the Dark World of the distant past, there is only War.
