108 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like being able to block most attacks and I also find the dodge mechanic awesome.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The souls-like aspects are good, and the game is definitely hard, which will lengthen your playtime a lot.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Either the dev team ran out of time, or they thought: "We have to downgrade the graphics for Quest 2 anyway, so why bother?" The first part of the game looks much better than most of the rest.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's the deliberate, meaningful Souls-like experience I'd been craving in VR, backed by a solid story and surprisingly good voice acting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very few VR games can manage to come through with actual voice acting, objectives, and leveling systems ( the skill tree is HUGE although unfinished), and Grimlord does it very well.
