Graphics

Legend of Grimrock is a nice looking game, which is surprising considering its indie origins. Alot of indie games have to compromise on the graphics because of a lack of funding, but it looks like Almost Human didn't skimp out on the details.

The dungeon levels are great looking, with vine covered brick walls and floors littered with bones. The lighting in the game is very good, with torchligh casting a dim, wavering glow on everything. Monsters in the distance can be difficult to see in the darkness, greatly increasing suspense. My only complaint is that the look of the levels can get a bit repetitive. It's a small complaint though, as the gameplay makes up for it.

The one skeleton in the game not trying to kill you.

Aside from being able to choose a multitude of resolutions, you can also run the game in windowed mode, or run it with lower detailed textures. I found the game ran very smoothly on my computer (AMD Phenom II with 8 gigs RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6900 video card) at max resolution with details all turned up.
