GamingBoltVarun KarunakarApr 20269/10GRIME 2 nails down its presentation and mechanics very well, and makes them work together to present an experience that's purely entertaining, and melancholically charming.

DayOneJesse NorrisMar 20269.5/10Grime II is a phenomenal video game. Every aspect of it is a huge improvement over the original. If you have some patience and love a good Metroidvania, Grime II is the best one I have played since the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. I cannot recommend it enough.

GameffineAbhinand Santosh Apr 202694/100Grime 2 is a confident and ambitious sequel that manages the rare feat of being more of the original while also being something entirely new. Just make sure you have a good controller plugged in before you dive into the ooze; you’ll need the precision.

Slant MagazineNiv M. SultanApr 20263.5/5 starsWhen it got within reach, I thwomped it with a tooth-lined maul that literally chews on opponents, a ravenous instrument fit for its insatiable wielder. Surprise: The slam caused the ground below to cave in, so down White went, plummeting into a hidden chamber. What a climax.

But when not planning to take over the galaxy, he spends his time raising Chocobo and trying to figure out just how the sarlaac could pull Boba Fett’s ship with its engines firing FULL BLAST into it’s maw with relative ease; yet it struggled with Han Solo who was gripping *checks notes* SAND!
