    Boring boring boring. 30 studios and an entire year later, we get a game out of early access. Typical collect things, build things, fight things. nothing innovative, nothing new. graphics are decent, but this is getting awful. what a terrible subscription service.

    The expectation was high, and after i play this game for a few hours i uninstal it for good!
    Bad mechanics, bugs after Bugs, week resolution, and the worst part is the "story"!!
    They need much more time to finish this game!

    Not a great game at all especially for how long it's taken to fully release, disappointing

    Everytime Microsoft buys a studio the go to waste, this another example. Just like Rare before it, obsidian gets thrown into an awful children's game with no originality. Why Microsoft why?

    Grounded is a game I had high hopes for but let me down. The controls are very wonky, the music is very average and I get get the game to boot for more than an hour without crashing.

    Realmente me he aburrido porque más que explorar el jardín, el juego trata de supervivencia, un género que no me gusta.

    Longtemps resté en accès anticipé, Grounded est enfin… terminé en cette année 2022 ! et heureusement qu’il est tombé dans le Game Pass parce que sinon, franchement, on n’aurait pas déboursé un kopeck pour ce jeu de survie à la con…!

    Encore un jeu de survie bien con et bien chiant dont les mécaniques (de survie) se révèlent vite rébarbatives, pour ne pas dire répétitives… et bien    Longtemps resté en accès anticipé, Grounded est enfin… terminé en cette année 2022 ! et heureusement qu’il est tombé dans le Game Pass parce que sinon, franchement, on n’aurait pas déboursé un kopeck pour ce jeu de survie à la con…!

    Encore un jeu de survie bien con et bien chiant dont les mécaniques (de survie) se révèlent vite rébarbatives, pour ne pas dire répétitives… et bien chiantes ! Les personnages ados sont ici volontiers mongolos, plus mongolos que les ados ne le sont au naturel… quoique ! ça se discute en fait.

    Les graphismes sont du type indé, c’est-à-dire peu engageants et simplets… et puis surtout, oui surtout, malgré un filtre anti-araignées, ce jeu au ras des pâquerettes -et plus bas encore- est bourré de plantes et d’insectes crabeurks ! c’est donc cracra et très beurk à la fois, c’est crabeurk putain !

    Et j’ai vu dans les recettes qu’on peut bouffer… des saloperies d’insectes ! crabeurk dégueulasse, putain ! nan mais merde… quel saloperie de jeu de merde débectant ! aussitôt lancé, aussitôt déinstallé.    … Expand

    Lackluster, no good updates, and boring without friends. Grounded misses the mark after a very promising launch, and that is very saddening to me.

    Another uninspired survival game for PC & Console and I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Devs quit!

    Though it finished with a thud, Grounded still stands with the greats of the genre, like Subnautica or The Forest. It just oozes confidence in its theme, and successfully pulls off the feeling of wonder Honey I Shrunk The Kids gave me when I first saw it almost 30 years ago.

    Ultimately, how much you enjoy Grounded is going to depend on how you play and if you choose to enable any of the customization options. In the default state, if you're looking to adventure through the story, you'll have a fun time, but Grounded is at its best when played as a survival sim. Focus on exploring the world, and let the story happen in the background. It may be a slower pace, but it's also more rewarding.

    Much like the protagonists, Grounded sees Obsidian heading into new brand new territory that’s still familiar in some ways, and their expedition ends up paying off big-time. Excelling as a survival game with a nice and meaty challenge, an adventure game with a lot of secrets and goods to hunt for and a highly-enjoyable story, and a visual spectacle as you wander around and take in the eye-popping sights of now-majestic backyard clutter (and the more frightening sights of the impressive and imposing insects), this is one trip that’s tiny yet epic at the same time and is not to be missed out on.
