Legend of Grimrock 2 (2014)
Legend of Grimrock 2 is a 2014 puzzle video game made by Almost Human Ltd..
The second Legend of Grimrock breaks free of the mountain and onto the island of Nex, trading pure corridors for beaches, forests, and buried ruins. The grid-based, real-time crawl remains, but perception and logic now matter as much as steel: hidden chambers, buried treasure, and puzzles gate the path forward as often as monsters do. You arm four champions, cast rune spells, and craft potions and bombs for tactical fights. A bundled Dungeon Editor lets players build and share their own scenarios, from custom puzzles to entirely new creatures, items, and art.

A few thoughts on Legend of Grimrock 2
Grimrock 2 rewards players who read a landscape for hidden doors and buried mechanisms. The Descent still captures that tightening dread as the walls close in, and Conan the Barbarian brings the lean sword-and-sorcery muscle its combat leans on. Both suit an afternoon spent poking at every wall until one of them finally opens.
Sword and sorcery adventures across untamed wilds
Legend of Grimrock 2 trades a single mountain for an entire island of beaches, forests and buried ruins to get lost in. Conan the Barbarian carries the same rough, hands on survival against a hostile fantasy world, while The Witcher 3, Skyrim and God of War let you wander open wilderness fighting monsters at your own pace instead of on rails.
Puzzles where perception matters as much as your sword arm
Legend of Grimrock 2 hides treasure and buried chambers behind logic and observation as often as combat. Portal and Portal 2 build an entire game out of noticing what a room is hiding, The Complete Sherlock Holmes rewards that same careful deduction, and The Descent traps its characters in tight, collapsing passages that punish one wrong turn.
Small bands who descend together and do not all come back the same
Legend of Grimrock 2's four champions are still condemned prisoners, now navigating an island as unforgiving as the mountain they escaped. Lord of the Flies strands its own group until the ordeal changes them, Fullmetal Alchemist sends siblings into forbidden ruins, Assassination Classroom binds a whole class to one impossible task, and Stranger Things drags its kids into a buried, hostile dimension.
Epic, moody records for exploring somewhere vast and unknown
Legend of Grimrock 2 swaps tight corridors for open coastline, forests and ruins that reward slow, careful exploration. King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King and Fates Warning's The Spectre Within carry that same widescreen, mythic weight, Immortal's IX Equilibrium and Judas Priest's Painkiller bring a darker, harder edge, and the Return of the King score matches its grandest ruins.
