Legend of Grimrock 2
Legend of Grimrock 2 is a dungeon crawling role playing game with a modern execution but an oldschool heart. A group of four prisoners have shipwrecked on the secluded Isle of Nex. The island is filled with ancient crumbled ruins, mysterious shrines and a vast underground network of dungeons and mines. If the prisoners wish to make it out alive, they have to overcome the challenges devised by the ominous mastermind of the island. Powers of perception and logic are more important than sheer force is, since Legend of Grimrock 2 puts a heavy emphasis on exploration, survival and challenging puzzles. Discover powerful ancient artifacts from hidden secret chambers and buried treasures. Arm your champions, cast spells and craft enchanted potions and bombs to aid you in fighting the dreadful monsters in highly tactical real-time combat.

Thanks to the allowance of custom portraits I have been able to create the greatest Star Trek game I've ever played: Picard, Riker, Data, and Worf all trapped in a medieval fantasy holodeck adventure!

On my second playthrough after several years. If there ever was a perfect sequel, this is it. It is an improvement in every way. I'm disappointed that there aren't many other games that capture the same dungeon-crawling experience as this.

Imagine if the developers of a game decided that we will take everything from the first game, put it in a second game but expand every property 100-fold. That's LoG2....it's like LoG but on steroids.
Get this if you like old school dungeon-crawlers with good atmosphere and endless options.
Oh and did I mention there is an integrated dungeon creator and player made content? Yeah....just buy it already!

What a wonderful game. A polished and challenging party-based dungeon crawler. Definitely very difficult, especially by my standards, but very rewarding and a lot of depth in it's minute by minute gameplay and I had a great time exploring all the maps.
I'd say the difficulty is pitched almost perfectly aside from a few instances that, to me, felt a bit unfair - for example, sometimes enemies can just attack you multiple times in a row while you're waiting for cooldowns - some of the riddles just feel a little too obtuse for me to work out on my own, and sometimes I felt lost in what I had to do next so had to look up a guide, but really these didn't really detract a whole lot and, generally speaking I felt quite capable to tackle the games challenges and the constant success and failure always allowed me the opportunities to learn from my mistakes - I was constantly trying to manipulate battles to give me better odds (i.e don't fight more than 2 or 3 enemies at once, try to funnel enemies into a corridor to prevent you being attacked from all sides, etc) and the times when I really did spend the time to work out puzzles and riddles felt so rewarding when i finally got them.
I would have liked to see another game in this style but I think the developers have moved on. Big shame. I think there is plenty more ideas to be had from this type of game.

Loving it! Reminds of the Might and Magic series as well as the Eye of the Beholder series. Big nostalgic hit here, in a good way.

I don't know why I'm only now playing this years after I bought it, but it was already a deliberate anachronism then. Consequently it still holds up just as well now.

Changed my review.
First, this is not steam deck compatible. They say it is, but the average gamer genuinely will not be able to play this game with those horrendous controls.
That said, this is a fantastic game if you like dungeon crawlers. It works perfectly with a mouse and keyboard.
