Should You Play Grounded? – Full Review!
So I decided to play Grounded in 2023..
What is Grounded?
Grounded is a Survival/RPG from the same developers who brought us Fallout New Vegas and Outer Worlds. Obsidian Studios released Grounded in early access, back in 2020 and then full access in 2022.
It’s available on PC & Xbox, and is up to 4 players, however you can play solo.
The premises of the game is that you play as 1 of 4 teens who have been mysteriously shrunk and wake up in a garden. Just imaging honey I shrunk the kids if it was a game.
Although on paper it might seem like its aimed for a younger audience believe me when i say this game plays more like a survival horror than Minecraft.
What do you have to do?
To be successful in this game you are going to need to do an equal amount of base building and exploring in order to level up. Yes its a survival game but there are more elements that lean towards a RPG. You have the ability to level up your characters stats and will need to unlock areas by progressing the main story line. It is however easy to wonder of and go on your own adventures.
Despite being 4 players, you can happily play this game solo. Obviously it’s more fun with friends, but don’t feel like you have to go outside and make any.
Is it worth a buy?
I’ve played a variety of survival games this year with my most favourite being Valheim. That being said, I have about 30 hours in Grounded now and it is fast becoming a close 2nd to my favourite survival game.
But anyway, I’ve talked to much, how about you just watch my review and get the whole picture.
