    Grounded is a different formula in the survival game genre that stands out for its nature. It is not different from its other relatives, but it does have that touch of continuity (a bit monotonous) that will give us several hours of play.

    Grounded is a delightfully creative and occasionally terrifying survival sandbox.

    Obsidian has done a great job at all levels - universe, exploration, combat, construction, survival - for this beautiful and original survival game, just a little more balancing and it will be perfect.

    Grounded offers a survival game that is both fun and accessible, without taking the player by the hand. The difficulty is present, without being punishing, and the progression is really satisfying through this gigantic garden, which manages to mix beauty and arachnid horrors. It's an interesting adventure, whether you're playing single or multiplayer, and we can't help but recommend trying it out, even to those who usually ignore survival games.

    The tiny backyard world in Grounded is a joy to explore, full of danger and wonder. It offers great value, despite a slow progression system and a drawn-out main quest line.

    Equal parts survival game and horror sim, Grounded is a must-play for those who can handle spiders. Cutesy graphics hide a complex survival game with compelling depth, alongside some truly intense combat encounters.

    You are catapulted from the top of the food chain to the bottom, and giant ants and spiders simply look horrifying. Although in "Grounded" it does not result in horror, but in an exciting and smoothly playing adventure game in which, thanks to your ingenuity, you must survive long enough to figure out how to get big again.

    Another uninspired survival game for PC & Console and I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Devs quit!
