Played this game cause of you and it was a blast. Sorry you had such a rough go of it.
I played post DLCs and fixes though so I definitely got the smoother experience.

I beat the dream born terror. 1% of gamers defeated him. Till this day.😊
@greedybrown1353I am Grime
@ninyayogothSo sorry to say I gave this game a chance and it was the most ass time I had playing a game in a long whole
@RomanRogaOficialsubpar game
@FrenzyBotSo Good :D
@Equa_rewatching this after seeing grime 2 being uploaded makes me hope that your old videos still net you some income over the years.
@pratcheliciousNo views after 4 years
@bugged-outmario1753How the f did he reach this section 18:20 without going down to the other area💀
@Delulu188614:05 I got news buddy 😂
@elliottedwards1163Grime is incredible
@randompeople4519This game is SO SOOOO hard in the beginning but it gets better over time.
His equivalent to the path of pain here is absolutely demonic tho.
Years later I discovered there was a new boss only available through NG+ but I can't BOTHER to go through the pain of this game once again
All the comments mention the lack of him parrying like any of us care lmao
@EldergloomWe’re sharing early access to "Enkhirydion: Testament of Shadows", our upcoming metroidvania. If you’d like to try it before launch, just message us!
@LemonadeSoftPlayed through the entire game with the burst lantern. And I'm absolutely pissed to say that the damage falls off way too hard. at the final boss, I struggled for about half an hour with the lantern. Before I respeced into a greatsword. And absolutely demolished the boss in two attempts. I'm also quite miffed that so many of the bosses have an arsenal of attacks that aren't parryable despite it being the most major mechanic in the game. The hidden boss in the feaster' s layer is probably a prime example of this. I don't think you can repel a single one of those. Oh yeah, fuck the stamina system as well. Managing that was so stupid.
@raigrostromozParry, mate! Please! I beg you! You oneshot almost anything with a parry! Pull and parry are often used in fights to make them so much easier!
I yell at 3-year long upload, but it still hurts my soul
You are amazing. I am going back and watching your old videos because I enjoy all of your content please keep up the great work!
@CorwinWolfGreat video.
@cardboardgodPlaying Grime without parrying is like playing a platformer without legs
@inkdd1463That was just the baby stage, the beginners stage. Play new game plus (it’s been redesigned in 2024) bosses are harder with new moves and there’s an extra optional boss! But in all fairness you get to keep all your traits and learned moves. I’m on new game plus x 4. It just gets better!
@daleplantz6486Just woke up at my desk and i guess YT autoplay settled into to an indiemaus playlist? One ur best vids😂😂 this is one of the only metroidvanias i never piked up, after watching this instant classic and remembering my aeterna noctis playthrough i decided fuck all the way odf
@andr0ss117this game changed a looot
i have played it when this video was released
and the difference in this game compared to now
there is soooo much more
if ima be real i said the same thing about the twin fangs 4:07
@zdragavon1756I felt actual pain when you repeatedly dodged/avoided parryable attacks 😭
@Moldypickle42Hey I just want to say that you need to play this game again because there are many new updates and content added. You can also call this second play through [GRIME Destroyed Me Again]. If you choose to do so.
@mr.marshallgameroom8751I finally got around to playing Grime. What an awesome game, one of my favourite metroidvanias. The music is so good, I love how it perfectly conveys that yeah OK we might be the bad guy.
And now I can finally watch this video too!
grime is one of the best games of all time
@TylerCatheyThe fact that he never figured out that he could parry Shidra's hands (When they aren't glowing red) is so funny to me. Like yes, you can refill heals during the fight.
@DarkinBladeGamingI don't really understand, people always saying its hard and there is a lot to do there that literally makes you quit, but for me personally i am completing bosses every 4th try and i am currently on new +2 game enjoying it on full without trouble
@YT_K_AGrime is the annoying kind of difficult. In Souls you have to level vitality to really start the game. In Grime you need vitality AND stamina because the default stamina runs out after maybe 3 hits/dodges and recovers excruciatingly slow. You need vitality because you have only one hp charge. One!
The parry mechanics is awkward and that puts things nicely. And the boss animations really suck. In Souls games you see a wind-up phase and you see the power of each hit. In Grime you don't see either. You lose half your health by just getting touched or having a stone grow from underneath you. I actually have to watch boss fight videos on Youtube to find out what killed me!
This game is so highly praised because it's an indy game and for no other reason. Had a AAA studio made this game and sold it for the same price, it would get destroyed. Games are not rated by their quality alone these days. Instead there's a two-tier system where large companies basically have to do ten times more to produce a game that gets the same ratings as an indy developper. Imagine cars were rated like that or hospitals bought third-class medicine that does absolutely nothing but was produced by a small independent company (actually this does happen under the label "holistic medicine").
I used to bite my controller as a kid when i got mad at my game. And my brothers controller too, he would get so pissed lol
@stealth720-ALDU should've tried getting the scythe sword (the weapon the boss had in the final performance) the platforming is absolutely rage inducing I managed to do it without breaking to anything but sacrificing my soul to the game completely
@Stray_Dog08“Clunky platforming” More like you need to just get better at platforming bruh
@drippywater7307They've made a ton of quality of life improvements and additions to this game since this video. It's definitely worth playing.
I'd put it right below Hollow Knight in the rankings of recent metroidvanias
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬WoW
@Reg_Mori1. Skip to the Shidra fight.
2. Dude doesn't pull the yellow ball.
3. He doesn't parry projectiles.
Ok, now I get why Grime destroyed him.
Plays grime, never use parry
@sebastianong2754such a piece of garbage game
@horusthehorsei have multiple things to say. 1. you can go left, but you need to break the wall when u get a weapon, 2. the platforming is really good idk wut yur saying at the begining of the vid
@susislessthanwalterwhitei have multiple things to say. 1. you can go left, but you need to break the wall when u get a weapon, 2. the platforming is really good idk wut yur saying at the begining of the vid
@susislessthanwalterwhiteClosest game to Hollow Knight based on atmosphere (weird, but awesome).
@BasedDadAnyone else hyped for the sequel
@Toxoplasmosis679Yeah I sucked at this game while I’m much better at hollow knight and or prince of Persia lost crown
@prawnstar9213Such a good game, specially for free!
