Grounded (PC) - Steam Gift - EUROPE

Grounded is a survival FPP/TPP game created by Obsidian Entertainment in which players are shrunk to the size of an insect and end up in the backyard, which now is much more dangerous than ever before. The action takes place in the 90s, where a group of teenagers is trying to find out why this happened to them. During the adventure, players can (and should) cooperate, to make the survival easier. The game's release is scheduled for 2021, but it is available for players since July 28th, 2020 within the Early Access.

Gameplay

In Grounded, players observe the action from the first, or third-person perspective, depending on the player's preferences. The main goal is to survive in a dangerous environment, full of aggressive creatures such as ants, spiders, or wasps. Even though Grounded game offers single-player gameplay, it is designed especially for online co-op, with a maximum of 4 players. The game features engaging survival mechanics. For example, besides fighting, or avoiding, dangerous insects and animals, players need to look for food and water, as starvation and dehydration are equally lethal.

Players should also be mindful of their Stamina, as their character may become exhausted and much more vulnerable to dangers lurking in the grass. Crafting is another essential element of Grounded. Using various elements of the environment, players can craft tools needed for survival, such as weapons, armors, and shelters. With progress, players can unlock new crafting recipes, making the survival a whole lot easier. While creating the game, Obsidian Entertainment developed advanced artificial intelligence - that is why all the insects the players will encounter during the gameplay act natural, just like their real-life equivalents.
