![]() ( Dungeon Master 2 doesn’t count, and neither do the Japanese-only games. In terms of looks, sounds, combat, puzzles, devious design, and sheer bloody-minded sadism, it’s the Dungeon Master sequel that never was. Eye of the Beholder? Bloodwych? Dungeon Master 2? None of them held a candle to that 1987 dungeon crawler, and I still make a pilgrimage into Lord Chaos’ domain every year.Īs for Legend of Grimrock – well, that’s basically what Dungeon Master would’ve been if it was made today. ![]() Yeah, there was no way this wasn’t making my list: Legend of Grimrock is basically what I’ve been waiting for since I first played Dungeon Master sometime around 1990.

Trying to pick your favourite games of the year is really, really hard. Fans of award ceremonies need not fear, though, as there’ll also be a communal piece in which we’re picking out some of the more peculiar gaming achievements of the year.
