For people who loved the first.......it's a love letter to it. It made almost EVERYTHING better than the first installment only things i would definately do better/different are as followed: Of course the performance need to be made better. For what it is, it runs great no question asked it could be way worse but there are some performance tweaks that need to be adressed. The omni-tool........i've got mixed feelings about it, the no durability thing is great i love it please keep that in but for the love of god don't make me hold E or any other button to mine/chop things with it. Let me equip it as a singular item and let me hold it in my hand as a normal tool. yes i know you propably did that because you removed durability and didn't know what to do about it in terms of using it in combat but just make it have 0 damage or basically unuseable in combat and we're fine. Basically you could also tweak some other things but i'm not even gonna name them cause that is JUST me things and i love the game as is. Just....please the omni tool man it's not fun this way Edit: Just for clarification, i NEVER EVER stated that i HATED the Omni-Tool i just don't like holding E for mining/chopping as stated above if you could just read properly i would not have to edit my Review but i guess some people never learn. Edit 2: "Let me equip it as a singular item and let me hold it in my hand as a normal tool." again if you can't read please don't even comment on my review

**EDIT: game is now marked as EA, we did it everyone 🥳 🎊 To those who didn't play the first game this IS early access. It's not currently marked as such on the steam page, so just be aware. That said, this is everything I wanted from a sequel to the first already. Can't wait to see future updates EDIT2: locking comments because 80% of you lack reading comprehension TLDR if you love the first game, get this one

Game runs sluggish and really needs to be optimized. Looks really nice but I need to run the game on medium so it does not stutter so much. I am using a higher end PC and run Killing Floor 3 on the highest settings which is also an UR5 game.Only 7 hours in and I am enjoying it but the game really breaks the fun when items do not load when you get right next to them and you have to wait for them to load to interact with them.

I played Grounded 1 soon after it launched in EA years back, so I was with it from the start; and it was incredible to see it grow and evolve. And now I'm back at Day 1 with Grounded 2 in EA. Biggest complaint I'd have for the game, really the only complaint in fact, is the performance - much like a lot of people have been saying. My PC is able to run Grounded 1 no problem, but I've had to really dumb down the graphics in order to get it to run somewhat decently, which admittedly impairs the experience a bit. That being said, this is again, an Early Access game, and is currently at Day 1 launch; and I have complete faith that the performance issues will be addressed soon. The positives are numerous. If you loved 1, you'll love this. It literally feels like coming back to the first game again, but with a new world to explore and new bugs to face off against. They've reused a lot of the same assets from 1, which is perfectly fine with me and seems to me an intelligent move overall. There was nothing wrong with the assets from the first game, and the similarities help to make a fan of the first game feel right at home from the get go. If you loved having all the individual tools (axe, hammer, shovel), you might be sad to hear that they've done away with those completely in favour of the Omni-tool, which is bound to a single button and will just active accordingly depending on what resource node you're trying to harvest - and you still upgrade it using bug parts. So the tools lose a bit of their colour there, but the stream-lining of resource gathering is still much appreciated - you don't need to worry about the tools taking up space, don't need to worry about it being left behind since the Omni-tool doesn't use an inventory slot and is always with you. It also doesn't have any durability either, so you don't need to worry about maintaining it. So while its a bit of a bummer to see the unique-looking tools get shelved, there's plenty of positives to make-up for it. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this game, just keep in mind, this is Early Access, there's gonna be issues, and you might need to play on reduced graphics for a decent frame-rate; but these issues are gonna get addressed in time, as with any EA game.

I love it but for the love of god: early access is not a reason to release a game optimized this badly. My PC had an aneurysm </3
