To save me (and you the reader) some time with a long-winded rant.
Completed Grime, and I'll give it a conflicted '7 out of 10'. Fuck absolutely everything past the 2nd to last boss.
(I'd happily play a theoretical Grime 2. A more polished and less bloated version, that focuses on the game's highs and improves upon its easily-improvable shortcomings.)
Anyway, taking a much needed Metroidvania break and giving "The Case of the Golden Idol" a shot.
Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
Edit: It's not 'Return of the Obra Dinn' amazing. Since I don't think its story concluded in a very engaging way. But 'The Case of the Golden Idol' was a pretty challenging game for the most part, and it kept me engaged enough to finish it. (Being fair in most places with its logic, and easy enough to understand.) So we'll see how the next detective game I'm playing will be in comparison...
