Thematic, atmospheric, and inherently addictive. Grim Soul has a great formula and an enticingly expansive array of items to collect as you expand both your stronghold and your arsenal. The durability system is unapologetically designed to entice players to spend money, but you don't need to do so to progress. I think the low durability is probably the most frustrating aspect, but if you enjoy min-maxing efficiency, there is almost a sort of charm in doling out resources for your goals.

The game itself is fun enough, masochisticly addictive, and relatively pretty looking. It's slow going with leveling up and regaining costly resources after dying. You can feasibly play it without spending any real cash. My main issue of late that's got me looking into alternative time sinks is how often the servers are down for maintenance and for how long. Can't really play much if you can't log in. Hopefully it's a temporary hurdle that'll clear up soon-ish. Otherwise a good challenging game.

I've been playing this game for years, and I absolutely love it. As others have stated, it's a challenging game, but totally worthwhile. You don't need to spend money to progress in the game, but I've found it's one of the few games I'm happy to buy extras, particularly the Scarlet Hunt events. My only criticism is that the developers have left unfinished parts of the game for years, such as the boat, the wagon, and the warhorse. I wish they could be included in updates, or removed altogether.
