We Love It's Guide to…

GRIME

You play a newly formed, stone-bodied being with a black-hole head, brought into a strange world of living forms and unsettling environments. To survive, you explore its connected regions, meet their inhabitants, and uncover clues about the world and your place in it. Combat combines weapon attacks and dodges with absorbing enemy attacks at the right moment. Successful absorbs can damage or defeat foes and help you gain their traits; living weapons change form and function, while stamina management shapes when you attack or evade. Explore hidden passages and return to earlier areas as new movement abilities open routes through the world. Defeating bosses grants abilities useful for traversal and combat, while absorbed traits, character stats, and weapon upgrades let you shape your build. New Game Plus changes enemy and boss encounters for another run.

As a stone-bodied being with a black-hole head, explore a surreal world, parry and absorb enemies, and grow stronger.
