Grime 2 has decent progression and looks amazing, but it loses some of what made the original so weird and unique.
The combat has good dynamic ideas, but some other aspects suffer from excess.
If you’re willing to tolerate performance issues (or you’re lucky enough to land on a hardware configuration that plays it smoothly), and if you enjoyed the first GRIME or are just interested in weird, artistic soulslike metroidvanias, it’s absolutely worth playing.

But go in knowing that there’s parts of the game that may frustrate you – intentionally or not.
