Grim Dawn: Ashes of Malmouth is an excellent expansion to an already excellent ARPG. As I have spent time with the title’s expansion I cannot help but remember and compare it to how it felt to play through Diablo 2’s Lord of Destruction expansion. In many ways, Ashes offers the same types of refinement, story rich campaign and quality of life features that LOD did to D2. This is high praise for any expansion and if you are an owner of Grim Dawn I highly recommend picking up Ashes of Malmouth as it will be a great addition and continuation to an amazing Indie ARPG.

This game is the best in the genre bar none. The expansion is quite a lot of content with 2 new class options. It has challenging gameplay and in depth character customisation. My only gripe is the loot system which makes it very hard to get specific gear if playing single player only. It seems like playing online and sharing with others is the only way to get full sets.

Ashes of Malmouth extends the fantastic base game with many new features to further enhance your character as well as new story elements. It definitely helps to keep the game interesting.

I think this was a small drop in quality. It has hours of content, but I have found some of the enemies quite annoying. I do not consider this a must buy, as it doesn’t offer anything exceptional. If you want more Grim Dawn though, it’s still a good game and a prerequisite for the better DLC, Forgotten Gods.

I have a review for the base game. All my points are still valid for this expansion.
Unfortunately they do not improve anything with this expansion, and there are some uninspiring and outright terrible enemy design in it as well. Also, the engine was already bloated with graphic effects in the base game, and now it has reached over drive and it makes the game look even uglier and perform worse.
One thing I did not take into consideration in my original review was how terrible the multiplayer runs. It does not matter how beefy your computer or how fast your internet connection is, the game engine just does not scale and take advantage of any of it, so you should avoid multi player completely. Which is sad given the fact that you can host your own games.

Summary Ashes of Malmouth picks up where Grim Dawn leaves off, expanding the world and story with two new chapters in the epic struggle to free humankind from the horrors of the Aetherials. Deep within the fallen city of Malmouth, the Shaper of Flesh crafts grotesque living weapons that could deal a final blow to the human resistance. You must f...
