+ Nice premise, and some cool mechanics in the game. Cool graphics with some bad ass spiders and beautiful music! - could be so much more if it wasn't for a **** of annoyances. Story is meh. Game design is disaster - I was FORCED to walk approx 2-3 hours real time through hedge on thin branches towards my goal, only to take ONE single wrong turn, fall down, having to go aaaall the way back to that beginning - and during that be overrun by COMPLETELY overpowered spiders that killed me in seconds, losing 85% of the loot I collected during that run. No thanks.

With no explanation or tutorial It just throws you in the middle of nowhere To start walking and exploring Ok it was interesting at first Then you realize there are spiders there to get you and you discover there was a crafting which wasn’t introduced or mentioned Just a big mess ****

One of my favorite games EVER!!! I've played this game since it first came out and I have around 1404 Hours (58.5 Days) total. This game was a great game to play. Now that its fully released with few updates left I can review the game without any problems. I love the challenges, bugs and even the grass. The details were perfect not too realistic but also not too unrealistic. The Soundtrack was too much of a banger for this to be a normal game. But the best of it all was Multiplayer. The good times and new friends I had made in Grounded. The random Glitches/bugs we've encountered. This game is worth it and if you have arachnophobia there is arachnophobia safe mode so you can play too. Don't be scared to explore the depths of this game it is really worth your time so please at least try the game.

THIS is how you make a survival game. This game will never leave you bored even if going for 100%. The story and gameplay are both fun and great. Building bases, fighting bugs, exploring is all exciting and fun. I loved this game and think it is a masterpiece in the survival game genre. Need to play.

Screw this game. It's not designed with singleplayer in mind and is full of tons of grinding. No part of this is FUN

I enjoyed this game a lot, easily one of my favorite survival games. I played it solo on hard, it was a really fun challenge because the game doesn't hold your hands and exploring is very rewarding

Amazing amazing it’s a fun and challenging game where you can play solo or with a friend you explore the yard with just so many things you can do build a mega base do it! Face your worst nightmare spiders and show them YOUR the boss! Touch mega grass without touching grass! All combined with an amazing story how did you get small? Explore and see if you can find out who shrunk you and why? you can do all of this in grounded!

A great game with a really nice progression system that will keep you for hours in front of the screen. Whoever likes building and surviving in a unique setting there's nothing more to say!

Played the whole night, had a blast with the exploration and setting. Early in game you also get a jumping puzzle in the fen, really cool. Combat is unforgiving, you're very squishy at the beginning so you need to upgrade your stuff. and build some kind of a base with workbenches ect, some can also be found int he wrold. This is what normally hinders me in survival game but here I enjoyed the whole package.

"Grounded" is overrated. Boring, grindy, and tedious resource gathering and crafting. Combat is overly difficult and requires cheese tactics if you play solo on normal difficulty. And NO, there is nothing "unique" or original about it; you never saw "Honey I Shrunk the Kids!" or any other similar story? Nothing new here. On the whole, this is a boring, forgettable survival game, and is not worth playing.

I've been playing this game for 3 years, and I can surely say it is one of the best recent games. The atmosphere, the survival dynamics, the graphics, contents are top-notch! The last update (fully yoked 1.4) adds "New game +", more creatures, more items!!!

This game was truly one of the best games I’ve ever played. From start to finish the objectives were clear while also allowing you to play in an open world setting at your own pace. Great for partners or more, hoping for more games similar soon.

De longe, o melhor título de sobrevivência que eu já joguei. Os elementos são dispostos de forma que prende sua atenção do início ao fim da trama.

Grounded is easily the greatest survival game I have ever played. It was the first game I ever played on my Xbox Series X, and me and my family played it together. We quickly fell in love with the wonderfully balanced game, with a combination of combat, exploration, building and, a wonderuflly immersive story. I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat.

One of my favorite survival crafting games out there. Super unique and full of life. Tons of surprises and areas to explore with lots of fun to be had while you’re at it. Was very surprised with just how big the backyard ended up being when I finally felt I found everything there was to find. Enormous game, great time, Obsidian knocked this one out of the park

One of the most fun games I've played in a long time. It's a better Valheim with a more interesting story and better combat. The combat isn't perfect but at least I don't feel like I'm playing a game made 15 years ago like I feel when I do when entering combat in Valheim.

Awesome. A great concept - navigating your way around someone's garden is much more fun than the "mountains, rivers and plains" of the standard 4X game... and the game's mechanics and plot are all spot on. Awesome all round.

My Friends And I Wanted To Play Together On Gamepass And Multiplayer Was Completely Broken. It Took Us An Hour To Get Into A Game With Each Other, And When We Did It Was Godawfully Boring. The YouTube Videos Made The Game Look So Fun, But It Really Wasn’t.

Played this with family, and it was such a great bonding experience, I don't think you would have as fun an experience playing alone, but would still thoroughly enjoy it if you are into the survival genre. Voice acting, art design, mechanics, base building, exploration, research, everything was cleverly planned. Any time there was an update, and things were added I was excited to jump back in. It would have to be my favourite survival games, and I've played many.

Crazy fun game with friends. Wasn't expecting to like this game as much as i did but its great. We encountered a few bugs where we had to restart our save but no biggy

Easily one of the best survival games out there with a good gripping story and world. It has a nice art style and the graphics are very good. Seeing the subsurface scattering through the grass and leaves is stunning. The game has plenty of depth and features good progression with some good bosses. The world... well backgarden is rich with detail and is easily the most well polished survival games which doesn't relay heavily on procedural generation like other survival games. The story/world is also very intriguing and you just want to know more on how and why you have been shrunk and how the world around you operates. The game has had good continuous support making it truly incredible.

É um grande jogo, tanto em tamanho quanto em história, o que não é grande nesse jogo são os personagens , um jardim enorme para explorar, muitos itens escondidos, grande variedade de insetos, um ótimo combate e um sistema de construção incrível. Recomendo jogar na dificuldade media.

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.

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.

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. 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.
