Not quite human mind you, kinda more of a rock-person

A large strange, mystical rock being towers over the buff black hole man.

I tried out Grime via its free demo (which is still available on the Steam page!) and it was a very pleasant bit of metroidvania-ing - I say pleasant, I mean it was dark and foreboding, but in a good kind of way.

I’m always a little wary of new metroidvanias because if the controls aren’t tight and nice to use I get fed up immediately, regardless of how good the rest of the game might be. I’m happy to report that Grime controls beautifully (on a controller, that is), letting you smoothly dash and leap through platforming puzzles. I’m very much looking forward to playing through more.

Matthew also thought Grime was pretty good when he had a go during the Steam Next Fest (you can hear his words about it in the Weekspot vid above).

If you’d like to try it for yourself, Grime is out nowon Steampriced at £18/€19/$23.
