Grim Dawn is my cozy game

I’ve had Grim Dawn in my library for a couple years now and never cracked the surface past like level 15 for whatever reason. Coming off the PoE2 high I just rode, I was absolutely itching for more ARPGs that weren’t D4. Decided to fully commit to GD about a week or so ago and now I’ve just created my third character for a hardcore run — and I hate hardcore.

There’s just something about this game. There’s such charm and depth and it has yet to frustrate me with convoluted stat systems or boring/frustrating itemization. Every time I read a new item or details on a mastery, I’m already thinking about wanting to create another character.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I adore this game. Some people play Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing to get their play a cozy game and watch TV/YouTube/Twitch etc fix. This one has become mine.
