Speaking of grind, in a sense ‘grind’ is the basis of gameplay for not only Aground but also the genre as a whole – grind resources to hit the next objective, rinse and repeat. However, in Aground players may be more acutely aware of this as the progression is largely linear, although players can explore at their own pace and the world is semi-randomized. This is not a detriment per se – in fact, it seems clear that the game is built with this as the goal in mind, and thus those who enjoy the grind will find themselves at home.

Aground surprised me with how much I kept wanting to get back to it the more I played. It won’t win any awards for its visuals and could certainly do well by limiting battling. That said, it hit the mark with tranquil digging, incentivizing crafting with small goals in its missions, and gradually pushing you along to explore the wider world around your starting grounds. If you like your crafting but want a guiding hand for your experience, Aground is a good place to start.

As usual the "critics" reviews are a joke. I really gave this game a chance, put many hours in until I couldn't be bothered to continue out of sheer boredom, and grinding tedium. The concepts seem great as the trailer suggests, but this game is cheaply made, lazy, with nothing that stands out. I'm giving it a generous 4, giving the devs credit for producing this from start to finish, but honestly it falls flat in nearly every category, from notably bad music, clunky non-responsive controls, the lists goes on. I gave it a chance - invested my time and money to grind through, got far even, until I couldn't waste another second. It's going in the trash bin.
