Once in a while it's good to kill and not be killed in return. American McGee Grimm's first episode is a rather relaxing game to play in that regard. However, since you can't really die, the game presents no challenge. In addition, the gameplay lacks depth, and is also extremely short. The first episode of this new adventure series is free on GameTap, but its sequels will not be free. But since this one doesn't cost anything, you therefore have to ask if it is going to be worth your precious and valuable time? The game functions alright and has a unique premise, but overall it's a bit of a stinker.

Casper of Rely on Horror writes, "I have always felt that Grimm was a bit of a strange series. This episodic franchise puts players in the role of the titular Grimm, a raunchy dwarf who has a hatred for all things fluffy, cute and sugary."
