Luckily, you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it.

It’s incredibly good. I know the phrase “better than it has any right to be” is over-used, but in this case I believe it applies. It’s a survival crafting game made by Obsidian Entertainment. Yes, it’s the same team that made Fallout: New Vegas. Though not perfect, it excels in ambience and design. You really feel like you’re in a sequel to “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”. It has decent progression, a pretty damn good story, and combat mechanics that hit that “tough but fair” vibe juuuuust right. Unfortunately, the characters can be a little annoying and it’s only up to four players. These are my only main gripes as it checks all the right boxes for a survival crafting game in my book:
- Combat is fun
- Exploring is fun
- Base-building is fun
I legitimately enjoyed my time in Grounded more than Valheim. I also tried a similar game called Smalland and couldn’t get over the janky combat. If you like survival crafting games, don’t miss this one. Oh and there’s a slider that turns down the fidelity on spiders so you can play it even if you have arachnophobia. You might still have nightmares of wolf spiders though.
Love me my Amish butter log. I put that baby in the freezer and carve out little chunks for use during the week.
