Grounded 2 Preview- The second biggest debut of the smallest survival game

If Grounded 2 was released in Summer Game Fest, I wouldn't be completely true if I responded normally. The original is one of my favorite survival games, and when I returned to full release early last year, I ate completely free time.

If we do not see this insect in ground 2, we will bother me.

Grounded 2 's parks can be filled with all kinds of mini beasts.

I didn't expect 2 to happen, but there I was kicking up like a female student with our introduction of Brookhollow Community Park. After surviving there for about 24 hours, it is safe to say that Grounded 2 is much more than the sum of small and small parts.

Huge

Two years after the first game, the original cast of children consisting of MAX, PETE, Willow and HOOPS is now somewhat local celebrities. Control technology is public knowledge, and Ominent Corporation tries to modify the image by revealing a new statue dedicated to the intensity of Dr. Tully (now completely discolored and confirmed the good ending of the first game) and strength.

But after the explosion is shaken, the teenager you chose wakes up within a new exhibition facility and once again reduces the size of the ants. This time your goal is to work with Ominent to investigate the mysterious strangers who coordinate the attack and investigate the mysterious strangers who stop the insect control system.

Just in the bat, GROUNDED 2 is clear to see more Obsidian special sources than the previous model. The first was a huge departure for the studio, and I focused on survival dynamics and abandoned many storytelling. Before leaving the tutorial area, I was introduced to the new CEO of Ominent, and the entire research team was secretly reduced in the park and worked secretly.

But there is a good balance here. The dull dialogue and the world of the earth are expanding for every meeting, but it never interferes with building a base or exploring the landmark of the park at its own speed. This is still a more mature storytelling sensation that reduced the Kids Survival Fantasy, which attracted me to the first game.

It is a small world

We are looking at the larvae on the basis of.

Obsidian has already confirmed that Grounded 2's park is about three times larger than the yard of the first match. Initial early access is available for only one -fourth of the map and even can be seen. The hot dog stand serves as a major navigation point, and you can overturn the already ruptured picnic table, overflowing trash cans or ice cream carts.

Each area has a unique challenge. Even if most people have rekinded the things that most people have solved in the original, the trash tank needs a gas mask, the ants are full of ants, and the bushes are filled with spiders. The exception for this is to introduce the frozen tundra in the ice cream cart and survive with a thicker heat layer. We hope that the rest of the park will be introduced and we can see more new threats.

Unlike the first game, there is no big tree in the middle. It encourages a little more experiment where you settled. I erase the mine under the hot dog stand.

Smush and Grub

Of course, it's not just a fatal environment. The park is actually infected with all kinds of larvae, mosquitoes and spiders. The returned face is often new attacks such as Wolf Spiders, which often uses Venom or Orb Weavers, but the actual star is a new minibus that patrols parks.

Spider was a big threat to the first game, but here it is close to the enemy of the middle class. Scorpions, prayer mantes, and cockroaches are stalking bushes, while caterpillars and butterflies are hanging from grass canopy.

The cockroach is the most terrible one in the grounds of history, and what I was most surprised when I fought for the first time was the most amazing thing I was based. Fortunately, they are very passive unless you invade their space.

What we can see Grounded 2 does not follow the same bit as the original when we go up against these enemies. Each subcutaneous and oil is made, making the new combat system important at any time. The Loosey-Goosey class system also works with fighters, wizards, rangers, or equipment or mutations that select you.

I used a big Warhammer to break the cara face and chewed bubble gum. This worked well in scorpions and cockroaches, but I knew that a butterfly needed a different approach because of the chilly element explosion and flying outside. So I made a multi -class and changed my kit to Mage Gear, resisting a cold and reaching out from afar.

It may seem strange to suddenly include fantasy classes, but based on the ideas introduced by the first game. It has elements of a fantasy RPG, but it is not baked in the overall design that specializes in your character as it is here.

However, I feel that the ability of each class is consistent with the setting, but I don't feel like a wizard. For example, 'magic' is replaced with sweet flavors such as spicy taste, sour and mint. You are also never locked in one build or another building. It is all necessary to change the equipment and play a different role in the team with mutations alone.

But of course, the new addition of Grounded 2 is Buggies. Just as a lovely name can be clue, Buggies is a mount and can be tamed with red rebels or orb weaver spider when launching early access. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Spider is an unpleasant power plant, but it is much more helpful when creating an ant basis, and a lot of time will be consumed to track the materials needed to track eggs and to hatch new companions.

There were many discussions surrounding the decision that the early early access release did not contain ZIPLINES. Despite being one of the most useful things that can be built in the first game, they were excluded here to force you to make the most of Buggies.

Buggies is so natural to ground. You can hurt the park and avoid meeting as much as possible in ZIPLINE, but they do much more. They help you in the battle, have their own inventory slots, and otherwise you can access areas you can't see. I get stuck quickly to my bumps and add some feelings in your time in the park.

Yes. You can stroking the buggy, and it's almost cute because of a puppy. Still, I prefer the first -person camera mode of the buggy.

I spent more than 20 hours to explore the park, but it's still clear that this is an early approach. Everywhere you see, there are things that are not finished, or tied with vast strings tied with unexpected tape.

From building a base to endless ladybug larvae, Grounded 2 is much more grounded, and some will question why this is the sequel and the expansion to the original. But if you go beyond superficial similarity, you will see a sequel that is much more confident in itself. This is no longer an experiment with Obsidian, but a full -fledged project that receives a greater story, a greater enemy, and a caring for exploring the greater world. We may be small, but we are very excited about Grounded 2.
