Grounded is yet another survival game, but the shrunken conceit it hangs itself on carries the otherwise generic formula surprisingly well. At least when there aren’t any spiders around.
Seriously, forget about arachnophobia. Scary or not, these spiders might be some of the worst things to be found in a videogame. In fact, every creature this game boasts is a complete jerk.
Don’t get me started on the ants!
The Arachnaphobia settings requires you to look at a detailed spider to set it up.
I see this game being really good, but it’s still a bun in the oven. It’s very bare-bones, and they are expecting way too much money for a very early access title. $40 (AUD) is ridiculous for a game with 2 hours of content max, at the moment.
Ah Jim, you had me with the Gitaroo Man.
Slender Man stops being scary, once you give him his 20$ back, that the protagonist owes him.
“This game hates you”
So, it’s basically Ark.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot and his minions have continued going unpunished for the past **12** days.
On a less related note, the game looks nice, but it doesn’t seem to have all that much to it aside from some needlessly frustrating enemies. However, I love the concept of spiders as THE big hazard a la Guardians from BotW. They prolly shouldn’t be out during daylight hours, and they should only ever be more vicious, aggressive, and predatory.

Also, genuinely surprised Jim never brought up his Horrible Spider contest from yesteryear. Wonder if we can mod in some of those spooky blighters.
As catchy the theme is, this is still a game that has the good ol’ cursed runes. Crafting, Survival, Open World, and Early Access.
I like Kryoz’s take on this
“Honey, i grew the whole world but these 5 kids stayed the same”
I was poking a spider’s butt for ten minutes and suddenly the bastard got unstuck and bit me head off!
Enjoyable game though, so far.
“A really quite bad building mode where nothing lands where you meant it to.”
Oooh a new Bethesda title???
What if the final boss is the Unity head-spider asset that everyone uses?
So, an enemy that keeps showing up time and time again at the most inconvenient places looses scariness?
*Looks at Nemesis*
“Warning: Spiders” — This is a Spiders game? Oh, spiders.
Listening to your tweets I expected you to finish with “Drums, Drums in the deep. They are coming”
“The little tory bastards.”
