3 things I liked and 2 I didn't after 30 minutes with Grounded 2
- Obsidian, Microsoft's studio, is having a busy 2025 with game releases like Avowed, The Outer Worlds 2, and Grounded 2.
- Grounded 2, a survival game by Obsidian, differs from their RPG titles and will launch in early access.
- In a hands-on demo at Summer Game Fest, mounts called 'buggies' stood out as a key feature of Grounded 2, offering speed and functionality.
- Mounts like the ant buggy can run, sprint, attack, and help with construction in Grounded 2, creating a significant gameplay moment.
- Combat in Grounded 2 felt underwhelming with slow and janky mechanics, lacking satisfying feedback for players.
- The Omni-Tool in Grounded 2 acts as a versatile multitool but still requires upgrades, aiming to streamline gameplay and inventory management.
- The exaggerated character dialogue in Grounded 2, like Max Smalls' whining voice, did not resonate well with some players.
- The scale of the shrunken world in Grounded 2 impressed players, offering unique experiences like chopping grass 'trees' and climbing litter.
- Grounded 2's opening area is as large as the entire map of Grounded 1, promising more exploration opportunities with the introduction of buggies.
- Grounded 2's early access will begin on July 29 on all platforms except PlayStation, featuring a substantial portion of the final map and the first story chapter.
