10/10 Game. You can easily get 100+ hours out of this game and that is not including the new game+ 1, 2, and 3+ editions to the game. The story is good. The combat is rewarding and great. Exploration is good. The building mechanics are solid. The progression feels right. OMFG PETS! Let me put it this way, I played this with my wife. We beat it around 100 hours (taking our time and not researching anything). We enjoyed it so much that we decided this will be our first 100%'d game. It kicked off our, "games we enjoy we 100%." Even after 100% there is still more content through NG+!!! Each NG+ adds a twist, or item(s), or feature. Just scroll the reviews, you'll see a lot of people with 100+ hours for a STORY game no less! DO IT!

Easily the best survival game I've played since Valheim. I regret sleeping on this title for so long even though the premise interested me when it first launched. A part of me is glad I waited because now I get to enjoy it as a complete package rather than waiting for content to release over time. I haven't been this excited to play a game in a while and I really can't wait to play Grounded 2 once I'm finished with this game completely. I bought this game hoping for an open world survival game with a fairly linear story so I could choose whether or not I wanted to advance the plot and have some level of guidance or spend time exploring the world. This game nailed that balance perfectly. There's always some objective to do if that's what you want but otherwise the game often encourages you to sprawl out across the lawn and discover things organically. The exploration harkens back to the Obsidian days of old. If you are curious and care to explore the world you will be rewarded. Every. Damn. Time. The game has so much stuff to see and do. I could rave about all the various features and mechanics that make me surprised newer survival titles haven't borrowed from Grounded but I will say that the game is very thoughtful in making the boring elements of base building and resource management as painless as possible so you can spend more time in the world doing what you enjoy. I will also say this is a game that does difficulty right which seems very rare nowadays. Our friend group started on Whoa (Hard) difficulty and it genuinely makes you fearful of some of the larger foes in the game. You learn to become avoidant and plan out your trek away from your base. You also learn when you're starting out as a new player where the safer spots are and where to avoid. It gives you a sense that you're actually surviving in the world and eventually you learn to adapt and conquer these challenges. That being said, the game also does a great job of never making you too comfortable. Just when you feel confident in your ability to fight something like Bombadier Beetles, Stinkbugs, and Orb Weaver Spiders, the story progression introduces new threats and challenges to humble you. Another nice touch is the game tends to scale enemy damage and health with the amount of players actively on the server so it's not just a complete cakewalk when you get your friends involved. If you are unprepared for a fight you walk into and you choose to aggro a large insect anyways there's a strong chance you will die even with a group. You still have to play smart and help each other out in fights and the emphasis on teamwork and planning makes the co-op that much more fun to me. I bought this on sale but having played it I would say it's very easily worth the $40 asking price. Over 70+ hours into the game and there's still tons of content, places to explore, and things to do. It's a great game I would recommend to anyone.
