As a dedicated survival fan, I am always on the lookout for something new, something exciting but something that scratches that all too familiar itch. Grounded does this and then some. First off, if you don’t like survival games, this may be a survival game for you. The settings and difficulty adjustments make it so anyone can jump in and learn the ropes without drowning. This may not be for you, but I have my doubts. Obsidian is well known for their story driven games that leave players wanting more and this is no exception. Without spoiling the entire story, just know it is astounding. Every time I think I have a complaint or critique, I find out it’s already in the game. The devs seem to really listen to the community and that is a huge thing with all the hot garbage AAA games we are being water tortured with. This game is not just a great survival game, but also a great game. Period.
I would definitely recommend and I can’t wait to have time to do a coop playthrough. Did I mention it has that? Yeah, it does. You’re welcome.
Those who have played a lot of games will probably feel a sense of deja vu with this world, but you have the mental toughness and skill (both of which are owned by you), and you don’t need Pikmin.
The story is surrealistic, sort of like an impression from Bioshok and Fallout, and while it’s easy to get used to, it’s hard to get into your head where it is not bothered you into this game.
The game’s difficulty level is rather a challenge, to be honest you shouldn’t hesitate to throw away your moral and do cheesing.
Still, by the end of the game, you will be surely stronger, both physically and mentally, you will doubt yourself at the beginning of the game!
I recommend this game and apologize to those who did not like this game.
It is a fun game.
Now you can play and be part of Honey I Shrunk the Kids! This game was developed of that movie. The developers are from Obsidian but are a small group that has a great relationship with the Grounded Community.
You start off as one of four characters that have been shrunk down to the size of a bug. Now you are faced with finding out bits of information of what happened and how to change the shrinking process. Craft tools, weapons, armor, food, bases and more to help you survive the backyard! Weapon and Armor upgrades and traits that will give you an advantage on certain bugs but not have any effect on others. Grounded is a game on constant learning and adapting to the environment such as diving Underwater, dealing with Deadly Gas, or living for more than 30 seconds in Extreme Heat.
Explore and fight Solo or with up to Three other friends in Co-op play. The more friends you bring with you, the difficulty level ramps up in fights!
I have been following and playing Grounded and creating content for it since Early Access Beta and have gone through the Highs and Lows of the development of the game. I have to say I have stayed with Grounded for the 2+ year journey because it is FUN!
Grounded is set in a backyard and you have shrunken down to the size of an ant.
Most survival games are set in a forest or on an island or Canada for some reason, and there are many backyards in these games but what if that backyard was the entire game map? This is probably what Obsidian Entertainment thought when they were developing this game.
The developers over at Obsidian Entertainment clearly thought outside the box for this game, from the game’s biomes to enemies it all fits within the setting without standing out. From a BBQ that is fallen over to a bug spree can that is leaking and creating toxic gas they create environments that I would never think of. This is probably what interests me the most about the game.
Of course you need something to do and most survival games go beyond the survival aspect these days and Grounded is no exception to this. Your main goal is to find out a way to grow back to normal size, but besides the main quest goal you can also unlock side quests although most of these are kill or fetch quests. There are also a lot of different building materials to unlock and building in this game is really simple. The main issue I always face in most survival games when building is that there is no good flat area to build on. Grounded found this simple fix of not only being able to raise the building with foundations like most others but also to build through the floor of the map so that walls line up really nicely and there are no gaps in your build. The is also no shortage of building materials, over the course of the game you can analyze any material and this will unlock more buildings and decorations (as well as weapons and armor).
Grounded also has a couple of bosses you can summon and these really test your skills in the game since they are pretty tough.
My main issue with the game is that it does not clearly convey what the next material is that you need in order to upgrade to the next level. But luckily the map is not all too large so you can find out what you need rather quickly if you start exploring.
Grounded is a really good survival game and it has multiplayer so you have someone that can help you while you run away screaming from the huge spiders.
