    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.

    Jogo muito bom, fui jogar sem muita pretensão e me surpreendeu. Adorei principalmente temática do game (os personagens são encolhidos e tem que sobreviver no jardim) que muito pouca explorada na indústria.

    Grounded is genuinely incredible. It's a lot like Ark but far less confusing and punishing for new players and the theme is so fun. There's a lot to do and I already know I'll be playing for years. I can't recommend it enough.

    Must buy if you are a fan of survival games. Maybe not if you have arachnophobia.

    A fun backyard survival game. All resources have importance as you try to complete objectives and learn more about the events of the game. I would recommend this game to anyone, and with the entry listed on game pass, it’s definitely worth the look.

    el juego es espectacular, desde prey, no venia un despliegue de creatividad, tan grande como grounded, su estetica 80entera, sus mecanicas de superviviencia, su arte, su graficos tan bonitos, sus quest, el diseño de su mundo, la credibilidad de su mundo, el carisma de sus personajes y sus dialogos, hay tanto amor en este juego que no puedo explicarlo, top 3 juegos de la historia.

    Es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado, vi su evolución durante estos años y se convirtió en un excelente juego con mecánicas RPG de supervivencia. Esperamos ver mucho más de contenido en el futuro cercano y nunca dejar de lado a la comunidad que sigue aportando al juego.

    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.

    While the premise of the game is simple but the core execution of Grounded is remarkable, Obsidian Entertainment once again delivers one of the most charming, beautiful, funny and most of all fun survival games ever made...the music, the sound design and the voice acting are fantastic...even after hours and hours of playing this game I'm barely scratching the surface of this thing, theWhile the premise of the game is simple but the core execution of Grounded is remarkable, Obsidian Entertainment once again delivers one of the most charming, beautiful, funny and most of all fun survival games ever made...the music, the sound design and the voice acting are fantastic...even after hours and hours of playing this game I'm barely scratching the surface of this thing, the mixture of survival and role play that Obsidian Entertainment is known for is working really well...a must play for every survival fans,I can't recommend this game enough.… Expand

    REALLY AWESOME holy **** Finally a great first party game from Xbox this year and it amazed me! Grounded's story and survival elements mixed with unique gameplay makes this one of the best survival games I have played in the last years. Also one of my favourite obisidan games only behind fallout new vegas. Amazing price aswell and day one on game pass

    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

    Grounded is an embodiment of what the triple AAA industry is lacking. Pure Creativity. Obsidian have successfully blended their renown RPG formula into a Subnautica-Esque survival game. It continues their legacy of excellent story tellers, as Grounded's charming story keeps me engrossed throughout and always has me thinking "What'll happen next?".

    But, where the game truly shines is    Grounded is an embodiment of what the triple AAA industry is lacking. Pure Creativity. Obsidian have successfully blended their renown RPG formula into a Subnautica-Esque survival game. It continues their legacy of excellent story tellers, as Grounded's charming story keeps me engrossed throughout and always has me thinking "What'll happen next?".

    But, where the game truly shines is it's unique setting. Grounded wouldn't be the same without this endearing sandbox. The backyard stands tall among all the other open worlds out there. The setting is booming with originality and imagination. It's clear the developers created this space with love. The world building and variety of environments makes exploring it a must. No matter what way you go, you'll always stumble upon something to do. Whether that be explore a hole in the soil, a lab filled with robots or simply question how a baseball ended up stuck in the soil. All of it adds to the incredibly designed world of the backyard.

    However, shying away from the whimsical and captivating side of the backyard, Grounded quickly becomes a fight for survival. As you trek across, bug infested terrain fearing what's around that blade of grass. Frightening, yet playful. Obsidian, cleverly, juxtaposes these two sides of the backyard. Making the space never feel old. The combat in grounded is also surprisingly more fleshed out than other survival games. Grounded includes a parry system that rewards players from blocking perfectly. It also becomes more tactical than expected, as you find yourself fighting off hordes of insects.

    A game that truly stands out from the rest, and undoubtedly flourishes in that pursuit.    … Expand

    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.
