    Bien bien optimizado, gran trabajo de Obsidian! La historia y su trasfondo son son geniales, jugablemente es adictivo y bastante difícil lo que lo hace perfecto para su genero, gráficamente muy bien logrado, buenisimas mecánicas!

    Grounded is a fun survival game for all the family. Progression through the game unlocks different weapons, armour and building materials. One of the best 4 player games I've played in years. The shared save, meaning any of the players added to the your world, can play as host is a brilliant addition to the game. Thoroughly recommend this game.

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

    Incredible! Excellent environment and level design. Great fun! In co-op it's the best.

    It's come along massivly since launch, the content they add and the way the world feels alive and reacts to you is pretty incredible. .. could have made a Great MMO sort of Ark/Rust/Dayz style though. Atleast have it 10/15 player servers

    Great game with a surprisingly welcoming looks that makes me even as someone who doesn't like survival game really fall in love with it ( i found the idea of someone dying because he needs to eat or drink water stupid i mean that can't be realistic right)

    Artistically beautifull, Grounded is a awesome survival game, with very nice housing mechanics. No microtransaction in game, constantly updated by Obsidian. For me it's been a drug.

    É um jogo muito bom mas para mim só funciona jogando com amigos e como meu leque de amizades não é grande só pude jogar poucas vezes.

    Uno de mis videojuegos favoritos, la ambientación, la historia, el soundtrack, los crafteos y los jefes, todo me parece que está muy bien echo, claro no se salva de pequeños defectos clásicos de los juegos de supervivencia pero aún así es de mis videojuegos favoritos, a la fecha lo sigo disfrutando mucho y con cada actualización se pone mejor.

    As someone who loves survival games this one might be the best one I've ever played. Environment is beautiful, varied, and ironically MASSIVE. A year after starting I'm still discovering new areas/bosses. There has to be 50 different bugs that make this game feel real. Much like how Subnautica gave me thalassophobia, this game gives me arachnophobia.

A year after starting I'm still discovering new areas/bosses. There has to be 50 different bugs that make this game feel real. Much like how Subnautica gave me thalassophobia, this game gives me arachnophobia. The first time I saw a spider at night I about died. In fact the #1 complaint i hear about this game is the spiders are too scary, despite having arachnophobia setting turned on!

    Now in my opinion the most important question to judge survival games is "how cozy can you make your base?" Theres no electricity in this game but outside of that it pretty much has everything you could ask for: bug head candles, berry leather recliners, armor/weapon displays - a little light on traps as of now but no big complaints at all. Also each piece of furniture has a cozyness rating that'll give you a buff after sleeping there, so the devs at least partially agree with me.

    Amazing all around and if you love survival games this is a must buy - period.    … 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.

    This is the only survival game that's ever hooked me, as it has fantastic exploration and a great story too. It's hard as hell solo, so I played on easy and it was more fun this way. The building and crafting is incredible as you can literally building structures anywhere and make some sick bases. Also, this is pretty much a horror game if you're afraid of spiders... No joke.

One of the most tense, terrifying experiences I've had in gaming, but it's also very rewarding to progress through the mechanics and story. It's probably even better with a crew of friends too!… Expand

    Honestly? Genuinely never had this much fun in a game. The entire thing,base building,characters,progression,is all done so well. You genuinely feel you're getting stronger as you're getting used to perfect blocks,getting better armor,new weapons,The fights are top notch too! If you have a 4 person friend group, it's definitely a must play.

    This is the best cooperative multiplayer game I have played with my friends. It is so unique in premise and the way the mechanics play.

    Original and fun! Vibrant and beautiful, while at times terrifying and stressful! Great for family co-op. Survival mechanics can be tuned to your liking, creating a custom experience ranging from completely casual to grueling.

    Hay haters que ponen valores muy cercanos al 0. No tiene sentido lo que dicen. Solo tienen hate a Xbox.
    El juego es súper divertido. Cualquiera que pueda jugarlo con un amigo, va a experimentar lo que es divertirse realmente con un juego.

    The survival aspect is sufficiently complex, without taking up all the space and is very well balanced.

    After a hundred hours of play, I haven't experienced any outrageously unpleasant bugs, except for an area where the drops of water remain suspended in the air after if the plants that holds them are cut down.    … Expand

    Wow. I haven't enjoyed a game so much in a long time. It's an Ark survival clone without the PvP. It's adapted to play as a co op multiplayer with friends and it works really well. There should be at least a online PvE mode in my opinion. I score this game a solid 8 out of 10.

    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.
