Grizzland Reviews

I love the music, especially the soundtrack which plays during boss fights.

This is a perfectly enjoyable metroidvania as long as you can stomach the incredibly frustrating attack cooldown. Swinging your sword feels like it has 2 full seconds of cooldown, and there were several times when it felt like there was literally no way to defeat an enemy without trading hits as a result. I could definitely see the combat being a dealbreaker for a lot of players. Otherwise, it's a pretty fun game. Music is good, though there's only one song for like 90% of the gameplay. Exploration was my favorite part, with a few miniature sidequests, a lot of well-spaced-out lore collectibles, and plenty of easter eggs to reward more adventurous players. Unlike most of its peers, optional exploration does nothing to improve your character, it really is just story content and easter eggs. The story itself is simple but not bad, I had fun slowly piecing it together as I gathered more journal entries. Really short, though. Took me about 5 hours to get 100% achievement completion.

Fun little game to 100%. Since this is a small game the only help for the achievements you can get is from the discussion section, and if you ever need more help the developer is very fast to respond. It's refreshing to get forced to almost fully 100% a game on your own since there aren't any guides for the steam version with all the extra achievements.

I'm baffled this game has nothing but positive reviews. The clunkiness of your sword attacks combined with the "graphics" being a nondistinct mess should make this a non-starter for anyone used to playable games. Skip this, save up money, and buy a real Metroidvania with controls that aren't a garbage fire - may I suggest Bloodstained: Ritual of the Moon?

Have you.... ... seen my borther.... .... he went out.... ... fishing.... ... this morning.... In the time it takes to scroll text I can literally traverse entire available map instead. You walk so fast that you walk into enemies before the new screen has loaded already. So you have to conciously stop moving. Jumping and attacking is very floaty. It's bad, is what it is.

[h1]Simple but nice little metroidvania[/h1] While having all the ingredients needed to brew a decent metroidvania, Grizzland also feels like a breath of fresh air in the genre due to its unusual simplistic (but neat) visual style and fascinating way to reveal the plot to a player. Probably the only weak side of the game is its length - you can easily complete it 100% within 6-7 hours. However the cheap price makes it a fair deal. If what you see in the preview doesn't turn you off, then go ahead and buy, most likely your gameplay experience won't disappoint you either.

Disclaimer: My scores/reviews are almost always based on having bought the game at close to the "lowest historical price" on steam at time of purchase. Quick score: 3/5 Notes: it was interesting enough to finish, but It wasn't amazing by any stretch. Would suggest many other metoidvanias before this one, but it wasn't bad. Its very abstract and mostly just exploration. The combat and platforming is not particularly challenging. I finished the game with 85% completion in about 3 hours.
