The premise, in the publisher's words
Destroy... Absorb... Grow... GRIME is a fast and unforgiving Action-Adventure RPG in which you crush your foes with living weapons that mutate form and function, and then consume their remains with a black hole to strengthen your vessel as you break apart a world of anatomical horror and intrigue. An unusual material collapses in on itself, the world shudders and contracts, and suddenly you are squeezed into existence. What awaits you is a world unknown, alien in its own familiarity, and you must survive what terrors you face. Explore your surreal surroundings, absorb the many enemies you encounter, and use their own traits against them as you let yourself become far more than you once…

What it launched against
Grime launched on 2 August 2021, within three weeks of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut, Twelve Minutes, The Forgotten City and Death's Door. It reviewed better than all of them. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut, Twelve Minutes, The Forgotten City, Death's Door.
