I somehow missed this game. Im wondering if people have played it, what their thought were about it? (Is it worth the money for a cash strapped person like myself?)

I really liked Grounded. I played through it with a friend and really enjoyed how polished and well made the game was. It was really fun to explore and the combat could be exciting and fun. I think the story/adventure was well done as well and it was fun figuring things out as you went along.
You could definitely try it out on Gamepass or get it on sale. I would definitely recommend it though.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! I am thinking of buying it now, maybe not as full price.
Yeah, I just saw its 40% off (shortly after I bought it full price…) That’s a good deal in my opinion!
I really disliked the combat, there’s no way to avoid getting hit so you just have to spam healing items and tank the damage.
Crafting the shield and learning the block-jab-jab-jab combo is absolute key. They don’t go explaining this and I think it turns people away from the game.
Grounded is a pretty solid moderately-difficult survival game. The hunger/thirst is a little aggressive, but you don’t have to micro manage everything.
I was trying to do soulslike dodging and rolling but everything can spin in place at unlimited speed so it just doesn’t work
Played it in solo mode and also with friends for a while.
A thing I really liked was the shared savegames, that system replaces the need for dedicated servers completely (savegames are cloud-shared between the players automatically, everybody always has the latest version)
Gameplaywise I really loved it, basebuilding was so much fun, the crafting system has some really good ideas I wish to see in other games (automatically picking ingredients out of boxes for example)
I’m not sure why we stopped playing, it felt a bit lengthy at times I think, also coordinating 4 people to find common timeslots so that everybody experiences most of the story was difficult. Also the mobs get a bit repetitive/annoying sometimes - I could do with less spiders in general…
Writing this though, I almost feel like reinstalling it and diving into the singleplayer again. Got it over MS Gamepass, if that is stil on there, you might want to try to get the trial for 1€ for the first month.
I wasnt really aware of gamepass, that might be a good way to try. Thank you for your review, Im pretty sold on it now hehe

Thank you! :)
