Be sure to grab this gem with all of its DLCs when you get a chance, you won’t regret it.To access the console and enable the input of commands, players will need to go to the Custom Game option in the menu that is located just below the start button. I managed to grab the game for just $2 bucks. Grim Dawn goes on sale on Steam all the time. That’s more than enough for me to keep playing this game, at least until Diablo 4 comes to existence. The developers are continuing to make this game better and deliver more value to its players. The new expansion, Forgotten Gods was released in 2019 with tons of new content and made the game one of the best selling ARPGs on Steam.
Grim Dawn is still receiving fixes and brand new expansions. The lack of quality updates and expansions is another aspect of Diablo 3 that made me leave the game. Grim Dawn fixed this with its massive selection of loot, customizability, crafting, and the mastery combos that made the game more interesting to play over and over again. The seasons and the loot offered for mindlessly grinding the same bounties and rifts over and over again made no sense to me and I felt like I was wasting my time. Well, one thing that made me quit Diablo 3 is the lack of endgame content. Now, why did I say Grim Dawn is a better alternative to Diablo 3?

Thankfully, I found a great YouTube series made by LiftingNerdBro, which I followed to find all the right tools to experience the best of the game has to offer. Much like Diablo 3 and Path of Exile, Grim Dawn also has an active player community and lots of tools for building armor sets, guides on farming loot, and much more. If you’re a fan of games with steep learning curves, like me, then Grim Dawn is going to keep you busy for a while.
Make no mistake, you’re going to be reading a lot of guides and following guides when playing this game. It wasn’t until after I found a guide referring to a build I was able to survive and actually have fun playing the game. In my first playthrough, I actually gave up the game halfway since I kept dying over and over in boss battles. It never really affected my gameplay experience since I was swept away by the amount of loot and the different missions that kept me busy each time I launch the game.Įven though Grim Dawn looks like a fairly easy game to play, this is quite a tough game to figure out. But, it will only bother you if you let it. You’ll instantly notice and feel the outdated graphics of the game. The only downside to playing Grim Dawn in 2019 is its outdated visuals and graphics. In fact, there are players with over 1,000 hours recorded on Steam.
Which offers plenty of replayability to keep you playing this game for a long time. It also allows you to try different class combinations. When you buy Grim Dawn with its major expansions, you get to select from 9 different classes with different abilities and skills. It’s a pretty tanky build with some ground-slamming super abilities and it makes the game super fun to play. For example, the character I’m playing right now is a combination of Soldier and Necromancer masteries which in combination makes a Death Knight. One amazing game mechanic that sets Grim Dawn apart from the other ARPGs is its unusual class (or masteries) selection that allows you to combine 2 different classes to create a more powerful character. The abilities and the skill tree works just like in Path of Exile, except with fewer supers and stat modifiers. Grim Dawn also has a gameplay and combat system that’s more similar to Path of Exile. So each side-mission you run in the game has some sort of connection to the main campaign. But, the main NPCs and quest givers in Grim Dawn are more interesting and usually has a good backstory that interconnects with the stories of the other NPCs. Sure you’re not going to meet a lot of interesting characters of different races, gods, demons, and angels, like in Diablo 3. As a single-player/co-op game, Grim Dawn offers the most rich and engaging story campaign I’ve seen in an ARPG. When installing Grim Dawn, I was expecting a similarly interesting story and the game over-delivered. Unlike most Diablo 3 players, I actually loved its main story campaign. Let me explain why Grim Dawn is a great Diablo 3 alternative, in many ways. Thanks to the continuous updates, patches, and DLC that are still being released regularly by its developers, Grim Dawn has now become a well-polished ARPG that can compete with big-budget triple-A games like Diablo 3 and Path of Exile. Even though Grim Dawn was released in 2016, the game has aged and improved really well to offer a rich and satisfying experience to even the newcomers to the game and the whole ARPG genre.
