When my dad was still alive we would play this game day after day building base after base across the map and finding story piece after story piece, and falling in love with willow and hoops' entertaining banter with eachother as we played , and though we never got to finish the story together this game still created countless fond memories, would highly recommend for groups or familys <3

With Grounded 2 coming out, this game has genuinely become one of my top 10 games in the world as someone obsessed with base building. I play with a boyfriend who goes on killing sprees and harvesting rampages and he seems well entertained as well lol. Even with the next game coming I still say run through this game!!! The lore is amazing and there's so much to explore. Next game is 3X bigger so start with the shallows here then you can start the next with some experience. This game is legit a love letter to gamers. ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ (Pls fix the tiny issue with Roof Interior Corner in the second game though pls, with love)

I absolutely love this game! Grounded helped me conquer my Arachnophobia - I kid you not. At first I screamed and panicked, but the more I played, the better it got. And then came the day when I fell into a cave with a Wolf Spider at the entrance. I had no choice but confrontatiin, and since then I learned to cope with spiders in real life. I owe you many thanks, dear devs.

I cannot begin to describe just how epic Grounded is. It's probably one of my favorite games ever, and I own a lot of games. While I adore the visual style, don't let the cartoony graphics fool you, this game is serious. It has so much depth, so unbelievably complex yet so simple, it's rich at every corner, and oozes top quality in every department. The main plot is fantastic and is loosely based off of the movie "Honey I shrunk the kids", where a group of teenagers, one of which you play, is miniaturized in the backyard and need to find their way back to regular size. There is a gigantic amount of fantastic enemies, some of which you cook, others you fight and major ones representing bosses, all with different mechanics and weaknesses. All of which give you materials for a slew of things, ranging from upgrades to weapon and armor, decoration for your base, food and potion mats etc. The world building is incredible, the base building is also incredible. And best of all the exploration is impeccable. There is so much to discover, so many secrets to unravel, and each of those gives you great rewards in terms of developing the story, your base, and gear, so you can be ready for the what comes next. It's all optimized and balanced to perfection. This is a gigantic feat by Obsidian. This game does not waste a second of your time. In fact, It's a game where 5 hours feel like 20 minutes, you simply cannot get enough of it and there's always something exciting waiting to be done. At the time of writing I'm at about 208 hours, and I haven't felt a second of fatigue which I usually do rather quickly. It's pure excitement every time I boot it up. I will be playing for many hours to come. I seriously cannot find one bad thing to say about it, and hope more than anything for a sequel to this gem. It is infinitely playable, repayable while community as well as dev content flows at a constant rate. It's the best survival-lite, crafting, combat, story based exploration game on the market, it's like no other. And while it's really fun playing it solo, Coop is so much better. As a matter of fact, it is the ultimate coop game to play with your friends, partner, son, or father. This is it, it doesn't get any better. As much as this game is praised already, it isn't praised nearly enough. Easiest 10/10 ever.

This is the best video game I have ever played through. We played as Mom, Dad, Son (11) and daughter (9) and it was absolutely perfect. The story was great, the adventure was great, the setting was spectacular. The survival aspects were light enough that it wasn't a burden, the progression/gathering wasn't punishing, but also felt very rewarding when you came up with something clever to get resources faster. The building was really fun and creative and we built multiple homes and multiple outposts throughout the yard. The ending was great (there are two potential endings) and the Marc Rebillet loop daddy ending song during the credits was just a completely unexpected cherry on top! I can't recommend this game enough to any and everyone.
