This game caters to my power fantasy
My power fantasy isn't getting strong and beating up bad guys. It's being able to help and look after people.
Grimshire is such a rare gem in that that's exactly what it lets you do, while also making doing so an actual challenge. Keeping all your adorable neighbors fed and safe while there's actual deadly consequences for failure is incredibly satisfying. The game also does a great job at making Grimshire feel like an actual community, with everyone pitching in to help out while you still carry the majority of the responsibility. And the characters are so endearing, they really bring out my protective mama bear side x)
Just a very unique combination that I haven't really found elsewhere. Ticks all of my boxes. 11/10.
