I'm sad how little views this video is getting, it is the best review video on grounded I have ever seen edit: never mind on little views the video has so many views now, to clarify when I watched it, it had only two thousand views.
It probably would have done far better a few months ago when there was a large spike of interest in grounded, (the 1.0 release) I would say that this video might do well the next time grounded draws a bunch of interest to it / lots of new players checking it out.
Well to be fair this guy's review is a bit late. If he'd done this review like 2 years ago when it was arguably more popular would've been a better time
Dude this is perhaps one of the best reviews for Grounded, or any game, I've seen in a long while. You touched on everything that makes the game great and showed the games flaws in an understanding light. Well done sir!
I haven't been really truly invested in a video game in years. I downloaded Grounded for Xbox after watching the Neebs gaming series on it. It's such an amazing game! I am blown away by the amount of stuff there is to do in the game and by how large and diverse the map is. One of the best games I've played in ages and I highly recommend it!
I've played it when it was just in early access. Two years later and it's insane how much they've added to the game. The story, progression, items, building, armor. There is so much to unlock and discover. I bet if I actually complete it and find all the weapons and build my main base I'm gonna come back to do it all over again.
@@XXLRebel same I played it when they first brought it to Xbox I played it on and off since then but I agree since they added a bunch of new stuff this game has never felt more fun on top of that series s/x compatible
I do enjoy survival games, but something about Grounded just grabbed me. I love the originality of it. It's well designed, after each session I've explored or discovered something new that leads to new recipes or mysteries to solve. The few times that's not going on, I'm building something, usually my main base which I expand on. I'm enjoying it so much that I've been playing it slow. Just hit the upper yard and I'm at the 200 hour mark. Playing single player. You created a great review here, hit all the important points and summed it up nicely. Great work!
This game is spectacular! As a Subnautica fan, Grounded made me feel at home. Enemies are relentless in the beginning, but that makes the progress feel even more special. The dandelion glider shouldn’t require equipping to work. Also the map markers shouldn’t require leaf clovers to build. Fall damage is exaggerated. A quick radial menu to change mutations mid battle would also be a welcome feature.
14:41 some of the upper yard bugs are re-colored, because Microsoft force them to finish the game before they were actually ready, and it took them like five years to make most of the lower yard and they only had like six months to make the upper yard
100% best all around review I’ve seen on TH-cam. You’ve got talent young man. That aside I’ve played since the beginning as well and couldn’t agree more about the journey to full release. Most of which was spent co-op with close friends that created some of my fondest gaming memories. That initial adventure into the unknown, hours spent trying to figure out how to do something, the first encounter with a wolf spider and so on. I think what I like the most about the game is it’s ability to immerse the player in the world even with its cartoonish graphics and absolute absurdity as a whole. I can still feel the fear hearing those loud stomps, extinguishing my torch, crouching behind a small boulder to see the tree sized blades of grass spread in the moonlight exposing those long hairy spider legs. Very few games have been able to do that. To give me that full immersion I seek but rarely find these days. I’m grateful for Grounded, and look forward for what’s next from that team.
Yo this is a bad ass review I just started playing again recently and been into it more than the last time I was playing and I gotta say this game scares the shit out of me sometimes lol
i got into the game pretty early on in development as well and its cathartic to hear you parallel a lot of the thoughts i had on it. i love grounded--it quickly became one of my favorite games of all time and following it along during early access was such an unforgettable experience. i do get the impression that a decision was made to release the game a lot earlier than the developers initially anticipated, but i think what we ended up with is still pretty fantastic. here's hoping they continue to give it some love going into the future. this was such an amazing review 👏👏 your writing, delivery, editing, it's all great. i love your style, and the fact that you have 85 subs at the time of writing is absolutely outrageous--ill catch you at 10k
I, too, feel it was released a little bit too soon. As much as I love the yard overall, I felt that final update was missing something. Either way, the experiences I had with it, especially those in early access, I wouldn't change for the world. Thank you for supporting the video and the channel! See you at the 10K mark 😀
I wish they added mounts to this game. You can have a pet aphid, why not an animal you can ride? Something like a Jumping Spider, or a House Centipede.
As an avid player of the genre, Grounded was probably my least favorite survival game so far. It just felt more linear and shallow compared to the freedom of Conan Exiles, Terraria, and Valheim.
Personally I have always struggled with actually completing survival games, games like Minecraft and ARK have never been able to hold my attention for long enough before my rampant ADHD spends 20 minutes running around the base doing fuck all, but with Grounded, something clicked, I first played Grounded back when it was an unfinished beta build on game pass back in July of 2020, in the 2 years it took for it to fully release, I followed it constantly, always playing each major update and exploring it in detail no matter how far the game still was from actually coming out and not being a beta build, something just clicked between me and grounded, I remember playing for the first time with my friend who i will refer to as Kal, it was simple, me and Kal were learning the ropes on what to do and how to do it, then night fell and we were both huddled inside a research station while a fucking Wolf Spider literally had one of its legs poking through the roof and was about one step away from coming into full view and murdering the both of us and I swear on god that was the most scared I have ever been in a game and from that moment I was hooked on grounded, granted after a few months Kal stopped playing and I eventually stopped talking to him due to my absolutely horrid social skills that keep me from even coming close to initiating a conversation but that's besides the point, even after he was gone and I was playing by myself, I still stuck around to it, fast foward to when the game comes out I grab another friend who i will refer to as Ghost and me and him make a new save to play on which was both for me wanting to see the game from start to finish no main save 200 hour bullshit and this was Ghosts first experience with Grounded, we both beat the game with little to no ADHD brain frying moments in my end, Grounded just had the uncanny ability to grab my attention and keep it without fail, better yet nothing in Grounded seemed unfair, everything could be done with just a tiny bit of planning which with the temporary execution of my ADHD was not a problem at all, granted the final wave defense to defend the MIX.R was some definitive bullshit at some points but thankfully that's nothing excessive mushroom wall spam can't fix, Grounded is probably the best survival game I have played and I wish I could have the experience of following it from beta to release again
As somebody who also very rarely enjoys survival games may I recommend the long dark. Which is not only a survival game I enjoy but Is so good in the feeling it sets out to give you it has clawed its way to my number one spot.
One of if not the best game I played in 22 and also my most played game of 22. But I admit that was not on my first try as i failed miserably but so glad I stuck with it as the amount of tension and general fear you feel while trying to navigate an ant hill is amazing. The story is not handed to you and can be so rewarding when you accidentally discover something you need to make life easier but check your situation and realise that you have used all you health and healing items getting there and you now need to be very careful to get it back before dying. I couldn't recommend a game more after playing well over 300 hrs.
Just beat most of the stuff the game has to offer and it's one of my favourite games at the moment. It gives me a bit more faith in Obsidian's future stuff, especially after I've also just beat this and Outer Worlds. I've played Minecraft for years and I've become jaded on it because it just feels pretty bland to me; exploration becomes monotonous and every new update brings very little to the table. Of course, there's modding but I don't feel interested in most mod packs I've seen. Grounded practically revitalized my interest in survival adventure because of the exploration and creature design. I hope that they release expansions to it like new maps to survive in but that'd be very expensive and time consuming for them to develop. My only issue with Grounded is that most of the stuff to unlock requires so much grinding that they're useless by the time you unlock them, like some mutations.
Really? This grindy mess is your favorite at the moment? If so cookie clicker is up your ally. Edit: really a game with little to no variation to it's landscapes/ environments is the opposite of boring but minecraft is "bland" you need to get your head checked.
I think this game is horribly underrated, i've been gaming since the 90s and this easily cracks my top 5 games list, I like it so much I've purchased 3 copies in total, 1 for me and 2 for friends
Fun fact: ladybugs will sleep under the leaves of dandelions. If you cut down the dandelion while she’s sleeping under it she will relocate to another dandelion to keep napping. This game is great! One of my favorites. Happy to have 100% it solo on medium.
bro keep making videos. I SWEAR TO YOU, you just need 1 banger and you'll make it. This shit it too high quality and well done to get this little attention. It's criminal
I do agree with the set bonuses feeling weak compared to the actual main progress armors.. Roly Poly, Ladybug, Acorn etc. A few other problems is the delay before you acquire Building materials.. In order to get mushroom you have to defeat the REDACTED in the REDACTED lab but at that point you're most likely already done with building your base. I feel this was placed like this for first time players only to get through the defense events. Same for the Large Stem Pallet that can carry 40 weed stems, you need Pinecones for that.. And if you've played the game for long enough, you know how late game those are.. Why would I need a 40 stem pallet that late in the game?! I'm already done building and done with having to use that many stems.
I’m a huge fan of the survival genera but sadly I HATE most survival games. I was excited for this game but never actually checked it out. Sadly actually good survival games are rare. It seems like the only early acsess survival games that actually deliver on what they promised are like, Project Zomboid and the forest. Here’s to hoping grounded is good
Indeed i still am watching. Great video. I am most definitely not a survival expert. This game tempted me in with it's awesome concept. They had a free weekend one June during early access. After it was over i had to buy it. I was hooked!
I still don't know how people can play first person games with controllers. The games often require quick reactions or precise movements, which can make them impossibly syrupy with controllers. Minecraft in particular really sucks without a mouse because stuff can come up behind you.
I have been playing grounded since approximately 2 months after it went on Game Pass. I, like you; am not a fan of the survival genre. This is the most fair and representative review of a game from someone outside of the genre fanbase. Unlike you I am many 100s of hours in at this point 😅.
I feel that. A lot of games require creativity and the other aspects of the game I like, but when it comes down to creativity and base building...I suck at being creative lmao.
Short answer: Yes. On top of that you have absolutely nothing to lose, it’s completely free on Xbox live. You can easily get over hundreds of hours on this game if you play without any guides, and even then they’ll be a lot of hidden bosses and etc, and the graphics, as you can see, are pretty neat. Definitely worth a try, you can play with up to 4 players as well I believe.
One thing that frustrated me so much with Grounded is the youtubers. Usually youtubers and twitch streamers are how most games build traction, but 95% of the youtubers who played this game either did nothing but dick around for 40 minutes and not progress in the game whatsoever, or they did take the game seriously but dropped it due to it not raking in many views. Grounded most certainly did not deserve to flop, it's such a great game that is packed with content, but unfortunately it really just looks like Grounded is going to forever be one of those gems that gets swept under the rug
There is a new game out there that has been in development before Grounded and it just released into early access. Smalland has a similar premise of being tiny in a normal world. The map is enormous is freaking beautiful and its getting even bigger in a few days with an update. There is a Merchant and Armorers around the map that will build higher level armors. Not to mention there is a back story unfolding of the giants that lived there before the Small Folk.
This game is such a great survival game. Wish it got the love it deserved. It really is such a fun experience. So tired of the same old survival games that litter the steam store.
I played grounded in early 2020 didn't know what to do so I just went around exploring what there was getting scared shitless from the spiders also they removed voice lines when you first start a world like max would be like whoa is this a prank really sad
I had been following the making of Grounded for a little while and played it in early access through till its full release and I really enjoyed myself, I feel like there was lots of variety in the bugs you come across. I thought the world building and story was pretty good too, reading bits here and there to slowly world build really worked in my opinion. This is a good look at Grounded and presented very well :D
i love this game, the only thing that I don't like is the late game due to how many new enemies are just reskins and the main villain being extremely underwhelming, still probably my favourite game ive played in 2022, just felt a little repetitive towards the end
grounded is seriously an amazing game that i loved playing. but the downside is i cant play it anymore because i started having vivid dreams about the wolf spider chasing me lol
I think what does something weather good or bad to grounded is when people say "created by the people who made fonv" No, they didnt. Its a team of 10 at the same company is what it is.
I have been playing this game since day one and honestly when it first came out it kinda sucked. There really was not much too do the story was not complete and pretty much your only source of entertainment was to just kill bugs and make weapons. The game was dry and it was incomplete and I think the developers released it too soon. And I think because of this it sort of drove a lot of people off, maybe not I don't know. But I do know when those updates started rolling in the game started to get way better. Now at full release the game is really fun. Idk why the developers released this game in early access but I think if they released the game in its full glory maybe more would of played it.
Dude I stayed since it’s first ever time on the Beta and I’ve loved every single step except when they removed standard quartzite. May she rest in piece.
the forest >>>>>>>>>> grounded and grounded is gonna be even more dead now thanks to the early access of sons of the forest kind of a shame but forest is one of the best survival games
So surprised at how low your sub count is, but I imagine if you keep making videos that are this high quality, you'll get a dedicated following in no time. Awesome review, too :)
since one handed weapons are more efficient at stamina management and they are strong, shield is actually good for offensive since the fire ant shield is really strong
Really loved your commentary watched the whole way through to the end. Started grounded when it was first released on consle early access. Been a fan since. I loved the concept and environment setting the game was in. Enjoyed playing all the new updates as the game progressed. I'm very open minded on a lot of things, so I don't really have anything I would critique on the game with my experience. It was just something that peaked my interest and I liked it. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us next.
Thank you for your comment! Sounds like we've had similar experiences with the game as its grown. Glad you enjoyed the video, got a good few more coming out soon!
Excellent video! I sure hope it brings in more views and subscribers for you dude. You put into words my exact feelings about the game and it’s wonderful to see so many people enjoy it as much as I do.
I'm sad how little views this video is getting, it is the best review video on grounded I have ever seen
edit: never mind on little views the video has so many views now, to clarify when I watched it, it had only two thousand views.
Very kind of you friend, thanks for watching!
It probably would have done far better a few months ago when there was a large spike of interest in grounded, (the 1.0 release)
I would say that this video might do well the next time grounded draws a bunch of interest to it / lots of new players checking it out.
Probably because of the title. I almost didn't click because of it. This game is great, and has been good since day one.
Well to be fair this guy's review is a bit late. If he'd done this review like 2 years ago when it was arguably more popular would've been a better time
He starts out by saying he doesn't like survival games. Most people who watch reviews look for reviewers that are like minded.
Dude this is such good quality. You managed to capture almost every opinion I have exactly. Good stuff dude.
Cheers mate!
Dude this is perhaps one of the best reviews for Grounded, or any game, I've seen in a long while. You touched on everything that makes the game great and showed the games flaws in an understanding light. Well done sir!
Cheers mate thank you for your kind words 👍🏻
I haven't been really truly invested in a video game in years. I downloaded Grounded for Xbox after watching the Neebs gaming series on it. It's such an amazing game! I am blown away by the amount of stuff there is to do in the game and by how large and diverse the map is. One of the best games I've played in ages and I highly recommend it!
Same. Tbh I wasn't really expecting much but I instantly fell in love with it
I've played it when it was just in early access. Two years later and it's insane how much they've added to the game. The story, progression, items, building, armor. There is so much to unlock and discover. I bet if I actually complete it and find all the weapons and build my main base I'm gonna come back to do it all over again.
The controller settings suck though. They could have done something similar to other games, where you can scroll the hotbar
@@XXLRebel same I played it when they first brought it to Xbox I played it on and off since then but I agree since they added a bunch of new stuff this game has never felt more fun on top of that series s/x compatible
Same, blown away by just the amount of building blueprints. It’s very rewarding to explore.
I do enjoy survival games, but something about Grounded just grabbed me. I love the originality of it. It's well designed, after each session I've explored or discovered something new that leads to new recipes or mysteries to solve. The few times that's not going on, I'm building something, usually my main base which I expand on.
I'm enjoying it so much that I've been playing it slow. Just hit the upper yard and I'm at the 200 hour mark. Playing single player.
You created a great review here, hit all the important points and summed it up nicely. Great work!
This game is spectacular! As a Subnautica fan, Grounded made me feel at home.
Enemies are relentless in the beginning, but that makes the progress feel even more special.
The dandelion glider shouldn’t require equipping to work. Also the map markers shouldn’t require leaf clovers to build.
Fall damage is exaggerated.
A quick radial menu to change mutations mid battle would also be a welcome feature.
Funnily enough there is now a radial menu to swap mutation loadouts on the go
@@Darkex72 spectacular developers. this game is underrated AF.
At least it’s not like raft, where I didn’t realize fall damage even exists until I fell off a huge cliff, and even then I was on half health
14:41 some of the upper yard bugs are re-colored, because Microsoft force them to finish the game before they were actually ready, and it took them like five years to make most of the lower yard and they only had like six months to make the upper yard
Gives me a The Forest type vibe, where it starts off as survival until you discover the experiments and futuristic tech that has now become abandoned
I loved The Forest but man was it depressing. A true horror game. Not for everyone although I'm pleasantly surprised by its popularity.
I 100%'d the game and I still come back to it. One of my all time favorite games. I do wish the story had a lil more cutscenes and dialogues.
100% best all around review I’ve seen on TH-cam. You’ve got talent young man. That aside I’ve played since the beginning as well and couldn’t agree more about the journey to full release. Most of which was spent co-op with close friends that created some of my fondest gaming memories. That initial adventure into the unknown, hours spent trying to figure out how to do something, the first encounter with a wolf spider and so on. I think what I like the most about the game is it’s ability to immerse the player in the world even with its cartoonish graphics and absolute absurdity as a whole. I can still feel the fear hearing those loud stomps, extinguishing my torch, crouching behind a small boulder to see the tree sized blades of grass spread in the moonlight exposing those long hairy spider legs. Very few games have been able to do that. To give me that full immersion I seek but rarely find these days. I’m grateful for Grounded, and look forward for what’s next from that team.
Flawless write my friend, that paragraph was descriptive. Got me immersed. Have a fine day.
Yo this is a bad ass review I just started playing again recently and been into it more than the last time I was playing and I gotta say this game scares the shit out of me sometimes lol
Same
Omg right - both jump scares and just general terror as you gear up and venture into new spaces
You have been blessed by the algorithm gods; good luck and great content :)
Grounded is seriously one of the best games I've ever played

Much like other people on here I can say that this review was really well done and one of the best out there. Keep up the awesome work.
One of if not the best game I played in 22 and also my most played game of 22.

Souviral Jareh ... thats prolly the weirdest accent i heard todate.
Great video and good review. I have around 400 days on my main world and i still love it and can't stop playing lol
As a fan of insects i really dig the concept, unfortunately the combat is very annoying.
i beat the whole game while afk with a crossbow and a auto clicker.
i hate the fridge, u get it soo late its pretty much useless, same as other things
Tied with subnautica for best survival all time imo
Just beat most of the stuff the game has to offer and it's one of my favourite games at the moment. It gives me a bit more faith in Obsidian's future stuff, especially after I've also just beat this and Outer Worlds.

What a great review! It has all the points you need presented in a pretty concise manner.
I think this game is horribly underrated, i've been gaming since the 90s and this easily cracks my top 5 games list, I like it so much I've purchased 3 copies in total, 1 for me and 2 for friends
The AI is horrible that’s really it
One of the best games I’ve ever played tbh
My dude. How do you have only 750 subs? This is such a high quality video.
Cheers mate! I wanted to make content that's decent so people don't feel they've had their time wasted even if they don't like it
The way you pronounce genre really grinds my gears. But, Grounded is a great game.
😂😂 Well it's sorted in my later videos
Great review mate, never played the game but you convey things in a charming and understandable way!
For such a small channel the production quality is of the charts, keep it up chief
Its perfectly generic.
Fun fact: ladybugs will sleep under the leaves of dandelions. If you cut down the dandelion while she’s sleeping under it she will relocate to another dandelion to keep napping.
This game is great! One of my favorites. Happy to have 100% it solo on medium.
bro keep making videos. I SWEAR TO YOU, you just need 1 banger and you'll make it. This shit it too high quality and well done to get this little attention. It's criminal
great review
I'll make it so you don't need to watch the video:
YES IT'S FREAKING AMAZING! go buy it now. Okay bye, enjoy.
I do agree with the set bonuses feeling weak compared to the actual main progress armors.. Roly Poly, Ladybug, Acorn etc.
A few other problems is the delay before you acquire Building materials.. In order to get mushroom you have to defeat the REDACTED in the REDACTED lab but at that point you're most likely already done with building your base. I feel this was placed like this for first time players only to get through the defense events. Same for the Large Stem Pallet that can carry 40 weed stems, you need Pinecones for that..

"Thank you for watching, if indeed you still are" doesn't TheVolgun say the exact same thing in his vids?
Bro, genuinely, thank you for the spider warning. I am absolutely horrified of those abominations and believe they should be exterminated.
Great video! You just showed up in my recommended videos, keep up the good work! You've got potential I feel.
I feel that. A lot of games require creativity and the other aspects of the game I like, but when it comes down to creativity and base building...I suck at being creative lmao.
Short answer: Yes. On top of that you have absolutely nothing to lose, it’s completely free on Xbox live. You can easily get over hundreds of hours on this game if you play without any guides, and even then they’ll be a lot of hidden bosses and etc, and the graphics, as you can see, are pretty neat. Definitely worth a try, you can play with up to 4 players as well I believe.

This game is hypnotizing and it became one of my all time favorites. Great review.
I'd be interested to see you play Subnautica 1 since I assume you haven't played much survival games
There is a new game out there that has been in development before Grounded and it just released into early access. Smalland has a similar premise of being tiny in a normal world. The map is enormous is freaking beautiful and its getting even bigger in a few days with an update. There is a Merchant and Armorers around the map that will build higher level armors. Not to mention there is a back story unfolding of the giants that lived there before the Small Folk.
This game is such a great survival game. Wish it got the love it deserved. It really is such a fun experience. So tired of the same old survival games that litter the steam store.
I played grounded in early 2020 didn't know what to do so I just went around exploring what there was getting scared shitless from the spiders also they removed voice lines when you first start a world like max would be like whoa is this a prank really sad
yo congrats on the algorithm blessing this video! You deserve it! great review! definitely gonna buy the game now!
I had been following the making of Grounded for a little while and played it in early access through till its full release and I really enjoyed myself, I feel like there was lots of variety in the bugs you come across. I thought the world building and story was pretty good too, reading bits here and there to slowly world build really worked in my opinion. This is a good look at Grounded and presented very well :D
i love this game, the only thing that I don't like is the late game due to how many new enemies are just reskins and the main villain being extremely underwhelming, still probably my favourite game ive played in 2022, just felt a little repetitive towards the end
Great video. I bought .. now I got to try it. Thanks for the great preview.. love getting a few tips on what to expect before diving in.
grounded is seriously an amazing game that i loved playing. but the downside is i cant play it anymore because i started having vivid dreams about the wolf spider chasing me lol
That is one great review. Thanks for the work put into this video ; now I know when and why I should play this game.
keep up the good work man !
I think what does something weather good or bad to grounded is when people say "created by the people who made fonv" No, they didnt. Its a team of 10 at the same company is what it is.
I have been playing this game since day one and honestly when it first came out it kinda sucked. There really was not much too do the story was not complete and pretty much your only source of entertainment was to just kill bugs and make weapons. The game was dry and it was incomplete and I think the developers released it too soon. And I think because of this it sort of drove a lot of people off, maybe not I don't know. But I do know when those updates started rolling in the game started to get way better. Now at full release the game is really fun. Idk why the developers released this game in early access but I think if they released the game in its full glory maybe more would of played it.
very good review. i simply have to comment it, if only to push the yt algorithm… ;-)
Great video! And btw if you really need a graphic designer for your channel layout I can help lol
haha now i get to say i was subbed since under 1k, sure youre gonna grow, great quality reviews keep up the good work :)
Spicy Safety may or may not have reduced explosive damage taken in the past, but since at least 1.0 it does not.
Dude I stayed since it’s first ever time on the Beta and I’ve loved every single step except when they removed standard quartzite. May she rest in piece.
I started playing grounded on game pass and put it down after an hour because it scared me. If anything though, that's a bit of an endorsement.
I really liked grounded unfortunately it won’t be getting any significant dlc
I’m actually so angry that this video isn’t more popular!
Grounded and subnautica are similar games, and I love them both
There are many an update coming, so I wouldn’t give up in that ice biome yet
You barely mentioned mutations! One of the most important things in builds
I never really played it that much because I am arachnophobic.
çok güzel bir inceleme olmuş, tebrikler!
Bro grounded is amazing im so sad it had no publicity on release, its a perfect concept honey i shrunk the kids as a game
Grounded was a nice little tease while waiting for ark 2. I loved the game but made me want to play ark hella
the forest >>>>>>>>>> grounded
and grounded is gonna be even more dead now thanks to the early access of sons of the forest kind of a shame but forest is one of the best survival games
this is cearly a mix of minecraft ark survival evolved and monster hunter
It’s got big ass spiders so it’s automatically unplayable for me
i think its funny how none of the neighbors have noticed the giant grass tower in the neighbors backyard
im personally not a fan of survival games but grounded has to be one of my favorite game that have come out in the last couple of years.
I have played grounded at every stage and loved definitely my favourite survival game
Definitely worth a play through. I enjoyed it alot.
So surprised at how low your sub count is, but I imagine if you keep making videos that are this high quality, you'll get a dedicated following in no time. Awesome review, too :)
Thanks mate good to hear you liked it 🙂
since one handed weapons are more efficient at stamina management and they are strong, shield is actually good for offensive since the fire ant shield is really strong
the main villain not trying to kill you the whole game actually does make sense since he doesn't know you exist until a certain point in the game
how do you have 900 subs these videos are like the same if not better quality than other video essayists
I agree with you so much i am unable to play Minecraft for the same reason
ive played grounded since it was early access on xbox and its gone so far
Just found this channel and how does it not have 52 million subs
How am I the 725th sub, I thought if at least be the 72,500th sub
its a good game but i hate how there are two endings and you never know. The good ending is kinda obscure to get imo.
Really loved your commentary watched the whole way through to the end. Started grounded when it was first released on consle early access. Been a fan since. I loved the concept and environment setting the game was in. Enjoyed playing all the new updates as the game progressed. I'm very open minded on a lot of things, so I don't really have anything I would critique on the game with my experience. It was just something that peaked my interest and I liked it. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us next.
Thank you for your comment! Sounds like we've had similar experiences with the game as its grown. Glad you enjoyed the video, got a good few more coming out soon!
TH-cam just decided to reccomend this to me which is intresting.
This is amazing thank you so much for this review
Grounded is an amazing game they really did good but, I feel it was rushed and need more time in the oven
Excellent video! I sure hope it brings in more views and subscribers for you dude. You put into words my exact feelings about the game and it’s wonderful to see so many people enjoy it as much as I do.
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and it's great to hear other people are still giving Grounded the love it deserves
