[@ComradeScrungus]

It's actually really creepy at times too. But the game is great

[@MrBraffZachlin]

this game was on sale today on the GOG store and i saw an opportunity to watch a total biscuit video that was relevant in the present still to me as i am deciding in 2020 if i wanna try this game. RIP the legend, total biscuit.

[@lilfatkid]

It's funny how much easier it is spotting secrets on the walls etc when you're watching and not playing, although tb's never been the best at finding those kinds of things...

[@wizzlet6821]

RIP, Biscuit

[@JohnQ5]

Found myself drawn back here when searching for "Grimrock" reviews. You were great TB. RIP.

[@LocoYaro]

Still going back to his vids. RIP TB.

[@AngelusNZ]

As an enormous fan of Dungeon Master, and Chaos Strikes back in the late 80s this brings back so much nostalgia for the dungeon crawler game genre. Its made me buy the bundle of Grimrock 1 and 2 off steam today.

[@zacherylemke9318]

Years later and the legend is still helping me find games. Miss you TB

[@Wienerschnitzelchen]

8:00 TB: "I'm trying to keep a close eye on these walls..." 7:36 Runs right past a button on the wall

[@poshlizard9713]

Rest in peace. We miss you dearly.

[@urza47]

I love how he mentions looking all over for hidden switches about 20 seconds after walking right past one!

[@666chapelofblood]

Love this game, can't wait for Grimrock II!

[@majorgear1021]

Just don’t wait for Grimlock 3.

[@DataEntity]

Rouge is french for red, it usually refers to a type of cosmetic. Usually applied to the cheeks to redden them.

[@thebigJ1er]

Just bought it. They give you some nice bonuses. One important thing to note, you can write on the in-game map, taking notes. Seems useful for remembering where you left your keys! ;)

[@CharlieHofigan]

anyone else notice that the runes on the walls were tolkien's dwarven runes?

[@Max_Mustermann_]

@ 0:11 The named games may be the ancestors but this game is basically a new Stonekeep.

[@peace_maybenot]

"Always carry rocks around with you, you never know when you might need them" words of wisdom from TB

[@SirLithen]

How I miss these :'(

[@TheSmithNoob]

An easy method is to throw a rock and trigger the pressure plate from the outside, then open the door. Doing this can let you counter all three skeletons separately. ^_^

[@BigBossBaby420]

3 words Humble Fucking Bundle

[@ESOdanny]

i like this game id love it if it was on the ipad and with the control system it would work too :P

[@farinal]

It is

[@jacobnorris1487]

Rip total biscuit

[@aeon4591]

I usually dont play these kind of games but I do like to watch them get played by others or see a friend play them and I sit beside and just watch and help em out when I can. So if you ever thought of playing a game for more then one time from time to time, please play this one! (I wouldn't even mind if an episode took 4 months to record! :P). Great WTF is a BIG thumb up from me! :D

[@majorgear1021]

I’ll invite you to my next live stream to watch me play this game, heh.

[@enigmaPL]

Hey TB, if you are a fan of the older style dungeon games, surely you remember one from Interplay called Stonekeep. I grew up watching my dad play, and later played it myself. If you know it, you know that this Grimrock version is strikingly similar, including the way the map works, and actually, even some of the enemies, and especially the secrets in the repetative style walls and tricky no-bs puzzles. If you haven't played it, I really recommend it. In my opinion, still a truly great game.

[@LegoRobot19]

On sale for 3 bucks on steam

[@Murdokdark]

Game is awesome! really really great job from the developers

[@magiciangob]

Sold! Great video, very entertaining. I can see how immersive it is, my commentary would have been the same as your "you cant be serious" and "oh come on!" when facing the three guys in that small room. Looking forward to it.

[@maxreathaford7696]

I come back to your vids frequently, we miss you king. I hope when I get up there you'll have a review for heaven ready.

[@Leikjarinn]

The video that I discovered you, rest in piece 🕹📺

[@PetlanovicsGabor]

8:00 Keeps a close eye on the wall for switches, but missed a broken brick switch at 7:35 when he basically hovered next to it it when he found that rock. Man how I love watching others play these stuff. XD

[@Humbuckers12]

Here's a beginner tip for the beginning (which can be a little challenging). Give anyone who can't attack in the back row rocks. They can be weak throwing weapons. They are also good to throw at enemies while running away when low on health.

[@RevolverPicturesYT]

I was born in 96 and I completely agree. I grew up with games like Duke Nukem but in the past six months I have developed an obsession with first person dungeon crawlers. And though games like Skyrim are still amazing, I've been obsessed specifically with the old school dungeon crawlers. I just went on a google hunt for some and I found this. Definitely getting it.

[@schiz0phren1c]

you missed a secret room there Bikkit...at about 8 minutes,just before you picked up the rock there was an activation trigger/rock thingy on the wall... am so fucking stoked for this game its ridiculous,playing my GoG version of Lands of Lore at the moment while I wait...

[@2themaxmovies]

You know, I wouldn't mind watching a full series of you doing this. This game looks great and was Very, Very entertaining to watch.

[@rangermerrydog]

Never really played this kind of old school dungeon crawler and probably wouldn't have considered it otherwise, but it looks kinda fun watching you play. I'll definitely consider this one.

[@BlueMage123]

0:15 Eye of the Beholder means everything to me, Mr.Biscuit, almost everything.

[@Rezorrand]

Two tips. You can use Q and E to make those 90 degree turns instead of mouse. Also you can give the spear to the guys in the rear so you can hit the enemies in front. :)

[@craigrobbins7700]

and their artwork in this is absolutely stellar! The mountain is my new wallpaper.

[@Cholericification]

Not sure if this has been mentioned previously but I thought it would be worth sharing that the pre-order from the official site, in addition to being very cheap, includes a neat little pre-order pack delivered in a .zip that includes printable grid paper and world map, theme song, and a few pieces of art work :)

[@MrXMushroomXGamer]

I wouldn't mind seeing more of this game on your channel TB, keep up the good work!

[@NobbiesNuts]

to be fair i'm 18 and i've never played a game like this before, so nostalgia doesn't come into it.....i would never of heard of it without totalbiscuit and i've got to say it looks awesome, as he said it is truly immersive...i'm definitely shelling out a tenner for this :)

[@WingsofStrife]

You must do a play through of this game! it would be EPIC!!! I just want more time of you talking to us as a person playing a game. since you enjoy the game, it's a win, and it's entertaining to watch. It could almost be a vlog through the medium of a game. WIN!!!

[@Gurkoz]

This takes me back to Dungeon Master and the Eye of the Beholder games. Loved those, still do. Have to try this one out for sure.

[@Crusthide]

the fact, that i played Eye of Beholder back in the old days and enjoyed it. is enough to make me pre-order this. Thank you TB, for making us aware of this game.

[@VexaPT]

This is exacly how AD&D projected their video games back in the 90's with Eye of the Beholder, Ishtar etc. Most people however may find it boring or repetitive after playing a hour of it. It cant really compete with modern games out there. I still play Commodore Amiga Eye of the Beholder, so this game is right there on my most wanted list.

[@Vexens]

I'm 15 now and I literally just stayed up all night playing this game. You usually can't get the type of experience with most modern games, but Legend of Grimrock is awesome!

[@intruder313]

Dungeon Master is one of my all-time favourites and this is very much a modern version of it (right down to some identical puzzles). Pre-Ordered (£7.80)

[@lordunholy]

It was so aggrivating watching you look for the key that you used, but it was funnier that way. Good video as always brother!

[@TrueStopwatch]

I'm glad to see this style of game come back. And it's also neat that it's also got a modern feel to it as well. Gonna save up for this one.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

17:27-That shit was Alone In The Dark level of scary with the wall just silently rising like that. Makes you go "Oh no, oh god, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT GET ME OUTTA HERE! DX"

[@BumbleBeat21]

There is so many different technical definitions for the terms. Therefore, it is still a debatable issue. I'm not into debating...but you have a point there.

[@guyonbench]

Should definatly play this in the background in your mailbox series

[@Joosgarada]

I love TB's 'Oh God!' when he gets attacked by the bird-thing so much.

[@Wolfetone000]

I'm a disabled gamer and the inclusion of mouse control for movement is very exciting. Thank you developers and thank you TB for highlighting this feature. I would've had to skip this (as with many current games) game without it.

[@DeathMonky22]

was remade aware of this game by PirateSoftware, was pleasantly surprised when i saw this TB vid, was great to hear TB again. i hope you are well genna, well wishes to you and yours.

[@Kollynator]

You just made me buy this game. I love what you do here, thank you.

[@realistindenial]

Nice done, as always. BTW, you missed a switch at 7:37.

[@Avrysatos]

Definitely a quality game. I've been enjoying it. (A trick for that 'enter thy grave' room which will serve anyone well as you get deeper in the dungeon is to throw a rock on that pressure plate from OUTSIDE the room.)

[@computersocsci]

I like how he passes right by a switch (on his left) at 4:29 when he's talking about switches.

[@Redbaron488]

The Atmosphere reminds me of those I-Spy games I used to play years ago in my childhood :)

[@Sweeper227]

Thanks to your video, I made sure to pre-order this game. I'm not old enough to have played these older dungeon crawling games, but i can safely say I would have enjoyed it and this game looks like it won't disappoint. Thanks TB!

[@DragonGamer727]

I love how he says he's looking for secrets in the walls right after he misses a loose rock button

[@Maaajong]

7:35 when he turns to the right... Looks like a button in that wall he missed. Maybe thats where the key is? Or just another secret. Wonder if he ever noticed that... Thumb up to let him know about that secret. On another note, have been anticipating this game for a long time. Downloaded DOSBox, Dungeon Master 2, and Eye of the Beholder 3 to satisfy myself in the meantime. Being 20 years older now, they are poor substitutes for the epic revival that I hope Grimrock will be :(

[@leahgreenberg4164]

I love your enthusiasm! You actually made me buy this game from Steam I can't wait to try it out myself!

[@KoffeeShak]

Did you every try the game?

[@Leikjarinn]

The video that singlehandedly made me love you and this game

[@bykez]

Yes, not a lot of people have played it so glad to hear I am not the only one =) This clip brought back a lot of good memories.

[@Thelaughingman26]

keep playing this game ! would love to see a new series !

[@diablo333911]

Wasn't totally sure if I would like this game after seeing this on the 4th, but I am so glad I got it. I never in a million years thought this kind of game would be as fun as it is

[@mcgibs]

I'm already looking forward to the different tilesets that could be made. Creepy palace? Old mansion?

[@-DeScruff]

I finally beat this game not to long ago, just noting to people who don't know, you can use the Q and E keys to rotate 90 degrees, and you will need to master doing so. It's a lot of fun, and a lot of frustration (Thats old school for ya). Well worth full price in my eyes. Also They are making a Grimrock 2!

[@sonicman86]

edit: no it isn't a bug. He opened one gate with the key, but there was another gate beyond it. There is probably another key in one of the cells (probably under a cloak or something) near where he fought the undead soldier with the teleportation trick.

[@aimson]

This is a fantastic game. The puzzles are amazing and the number of secrets is maddening. It reminds me most of Dungeon Master II, one of my favorite childhood games. The combat is simple yet fun because of the numerous challenges (as in, the game is pretty damn tough in some parts). Add in the rpg element and party creation system and the game is great.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Dungeon Master, Chaos Strikes Back, Eye of the Beholder (I, II and III), Captive, Black Crypt, Knightmare.. so many of these Dungeon Crawlers back in the early 1990s. Faster Than Light (woosh!) started it all with Dungeon Master back in 1988 on the Amiga 500 (yes I am aware there was a version for the prior Atari ST as well - but the sound sucked. Grimrock looks like very interesting throwback - I will have to give this a go!

[@modernant1008]

Anyone who thinks they might like this game needs to buy it ASAP, it is fantastic. The only two caveats are that there is a relatively small number of items with only 4 or 5 different weapons and armor for each type so don't expect tons of loot drops. Also the AI is easy to exploit and most of the time you will be moving in a square pattern where they won't even be able to hit you. The exploration is great and it is a wonderfully refreshing game. The Dungeon Editor is also great.

[@Nettacki]

I bought it on the dev's website. Got both a Steam key AND a DRM-free copy of the game. Worth it! Especially since I have a copy to give to people who hate Steam/don't wanna deal with Steamworks.

[@tsviceogre]

Indeed he has, and it is great. It has just begun though. Seeing as he has just had the game for a few days. 6 parts at the moment... and counting.

[@bradleyreverd3355]

the key that he needed for the door near the end was used but he left the tile for more than 10 seconds which made the key respawn

[@Reverendshot777]

Easiest way to deal with the equipment being in the way is just pick it up and throw it at the top of the screen like a rock, clears the ground around you without having to take it all into your inventory.

[@M4tth2w]

-Opens steam notices on sale- *thinks* i wonder if TB has made a video? -checks sees video- WIN

[@Anarki671]

After this, Bought it immediately, amazing to see a dev going back to these dungeon crawling roots

[@shadixyt]

I grew up playing Wizardry 8 and I will say that yes its a great classic and such but these two games do have their different merits. Both Wiz and Grimrock are amazing games to put it simply.

[@Xytr3x]

gah! he missed an so obvious secret switch when his focus was on that rock in the corner.. but to be honest, that happened to myself a lot when I played this game ^^

[@bindedshadow]

Not exactly sure if it can lockpick or be stealthy, just going off what he said in the video, so its a possibility. It may have a high base stat that affects bows and such as well.

[@Willsuitt1]

I played so many of dungeon crawlers back in the 90's, they are a lot of fun. If you have the patience that is.

[@leannvlewis]

This reminds me of a dungeon & dragons cartridge for Sega Genesis. I loved that game. This looks very similar. Thanks TB for sharing this

[@jigzyonline2]

I miss you TB.

[@kainono]

It's Eye of the Beholder. I'm buying this RIGHT NOW! I hope that big publisher learn from AHG how to take a awesome old game and remake it into a masterpiece.

[@Havoc928]

Been a pc gamer my whole life but being born in 93 i was never exposed to dungeon crawler games. And man did I miss out, I typically can't stand single player games but I am in love with Grimrock.

[@64Marston]

BY GOLLY, a few months back I saw the original post regarding the handicapped man's request on the development forum. He was VERY pleased. This game is awesome btw!

[@Teerroo]

Do you guys know what one of the makers of this game Petri Häkkinen did? Guy with quadriplegia (not one of your limbs work) asked if this game had on-screen move buttons that helps his gameplay alot. The game didn't have those at that time but after the question Petri added the buttons (you can turn them on from the settings). Amazing isn't it?

[@MikeTheGamer77]

EoB.. memories of spending an entire summer as a kid playing that and the sequals.

[@xoL3MONox]

8:49 SWEET JESUS! That scared the crap out of me.

[@jeffdunehew]

Just FYI the Minotaur could have been put in the back with the polearm. He can reach from the back for attacks that way. Then you can attack with all 4

[@CrazyassGaming]

zomg I LOVED EoB 1,2,3 and the way the characters from one game to carry through

[@BananaBonanzaMan]

Just got the game after a week after watching TotalBiscuit play it. It is amazing!

[@Dragilth]

Awesome game, I'm really getting into it. I'm currently on the 5th floor. People are going to be able to pull off some crazy stuff with the upcoming level editor.

[@Masonosaurus]

He missed a loose rock on the wall at 7:37 It gave you some poisoned arrows from the cell where he got the key

[@Zyroes]

I recall him talking about the concept of a "garbage day" in which he would make videos like that. It's mentioned in one of his FFXIII-2 videos I believe.

[@jaraweiat]

And the game is finnish production, a subject to be proud of for us finns. I've already pre-ordered the game for the extra content. Really really really excited!!! :D
