I'm finally nearly at the end of Grimstone and I think it was way better than I was expecting. Not one of the best games in the collection but its a pretty solid RPG with actually engaging combat. The little mini game you have to do on attacking turns makes me actually invested in the fights because missing is so detrimental. And I like how instead of a generic fantasy setting like most RPGs it takes place in an old timey western world with demons and guns. I believe it ties into other games in the collection too like Devilition and Rail Heist. My only complaint is that it is super long but I guess that also makes it unique in the collection of 50 mostly pretty short games but I do like how it feels like a complete adventure. Honestly I think I prefer Divers which is the other RPG in the collection. Just because its more mechanically interesting with a unique gameplay loop and I liked the focus on exploring. Grimstone feels very much like the NES Final Fantasy games or like Dragon Quest while Divers does something completely unique. And its far shorter only taking me 6 hours to complete while Grimstone is like 20 hours long.
