I didn't see anything posted on this, but Ashes of Malmouth has been released for a bout two weeks, and it is amazing.

For those of you that have not played Grim Dawn, it's an ARPG, like Diablo. The studio who made it, is the same studio that made Titan quest.

The game is an absolute blast, and the expansion adds a lot to it. It's got a bit of an older engine, but it's still great. If you enjoy this type of game, you are doing yourself a dis-service by not playing it!

I just bought that add-on recently and am just trying to finish-up / win another game before I play it.
My distant cousin is Eric Sexton (from Diablo / Blizzard) who got signed on with them:

So anything from Crate Entertainment gets my money.
I hope to comment on this further but the reviews have been excellent.

I think Titan Quest is the best Diablo clone ever released to the market, and Grim Dawn is really just Titan Quest 2.0 with Lovecraftian and grim dark bit thrown into the mix so feth yeah it's a blast XD

I've been working on a Ritualist (Shaman/Necromancer) since the xpac came out, though I ended up making him a vitality/bleed bruiser and not the pet master I originally intended. I always do that. I set out to play a pet master and somehow ended up with another walking beat stick XD

I really like the Grim Dawn necromancer a lot more than the Diablo III one, not that the Diablo III one is bad, it just doesn't play the way I envisioned. Haven't gotten around to the Inquisitor but damn I feel like a Purifier (Inquisitor/Demolitionist) duel wielding pistols could be one of the highest damage class combos in the game, with strong survivability to boot.

The pets from the Necromancer are absolutely insane. I don't think I've ever seen anyone roll over content during the first difficulty, like the Skeletons do!

I'd like to eventually do a Necromancer/Occultist. Seems like a great combo! My main is a Witch Hunter that I'm still playing, I just started the game about a month ago! So far there is plenty of content with the difficulty levels and expansion. I also like that the loot drops are geared toward single player.

I also have a Purifier that I play on occasion, which is also a blast.
