First Impressions of Obsidian's Grounded - Generation Xbox

Grounded is an excellent first addition to the survival genre, with a few early access issues. See our first impressions of Obsidian's Grounded.

i’m not usually too into these types of games, but i played it with my daughter this morning and i think i’m getting hooked. Really solid so far and only have run into 1 bug which is good for early access

There's definitely something special about this game.

It's funny how you got 20 disagree for your comment. If this was a playstation exclusive you would have got zero disagree. This site is very biased.

[pwnmaster3000]

Because each side on this site has a specific fanboys that everyone knows that will always like what that certain console puts out and if it was for the other console they would heavily bash it. That why they get disagree’s, it’s more being about petty...

But you are wrong because deathdeliverer down there got several disagrees for not liking it also and Kerppamaister got more agrees for calling him out.

[Anomander]

Only one bug... I ran into several ;) Damn Weevils and Stink bugs!

[execution17]

If it wasn't for that hilarious trailer I would've completely forgot about this game

[Deathdeliverer]

Playing is different than watching. that being said I’ve watched a couple hours of the top stream for the game on twitch and it is boring as hell. I play games of every genre. I’ve even “beaten” Minecraft (ender dragon) but this game is a new kind of boring to me. Just can’t see the appeal. Hopefully at the full release it has more... fun.

[Kerppamaister]

You considered Minecraft interesting enough to grind to the end but this is boring? Yeah right...

[Deathdeliverer]

That was SEVERAL years ago and yeah. Playing online with coworkers made it a lot of fun and a lot less of a grind. Especially with techit packs and what not. And yes, this looks boring. Maybe I only had one boring ass game in me and I spent it on Minecraft with all the packs. Whatever it is, I’m fairly certain I can only kill so many mad ants and spiders.

@godmars

Jesus.

Even when a good game comes out, you then need to get snippy with those enjoying the freaking thing.

Nobody is saying this is going to be the next Minecraft, in terms of popularity. It's just a new game a lot of people are enjoying. Nobody NEEDED this game to be good.

Get over yourself and just let people have fun with a MS release, without feeling the need to create drama around the fact.

[Kerppamaister]

@godmars so a survival/base builder game is good only if you can build enterprise in it? Pfft...

[Wotbot]

Great game so far.

[Software_Lover]

I have honestly had a blast with this game. I really did not expect to. I haven’t played any multiplayer yet, but once the xsx comes out I will with my son who just wants to help me kill spiders.

Edit: One item that I think could help the game is some type of on screen compass for directional awareness.

Downloading it right now!

[Sayai jin]

Watch out for those creepy crawlers! Oh and lady bugs are beasts if aggrivated. It's prett fun.

[anast]

What are the MTs like or DLC going to be priced at?

[King_Noctis]

Currently it will get free monthly content update.

[MadLad]

Damn.

Anast is really low-key trying to bash the game; despite you giving him the information he supposedly wanted.

[ThinkThink]

Live service payments? You trippin balls over there, what's going on?

[3-4-5]

Did I just watch the wrong gameplay, because the two videos I watched it looked like a choppy demo quality game.

[2ndhandcorn]

It seems fine just menu heavy games with inventories and micro management annoy me ,feel like i need a secretary as a modern gamer .

[King_Noctis]

Survival games aren’t for you then.

[2ndhandcorn]

I have played a few and like this setting alot but i zone out in menu action lol , if a game has crafting im suspicious off the bat ha ha. Will give another go as i have plenty of game pass left cheers.
