GROUNDED 2
The park has dangers you’d never encounter in the back yard – but there’s also a mountain of ice cream out there somewhere
Developer Obsidian Entertainment, Eidos Montreal Publisher Xbox Game Studios Format PC, Xbox Series Release July 29 (Early Access)
How do you go about creating a bigger, better sequel when smallness is a vital part of a game’s appeal? The developers of Grounded 2 have taken an admirably simple approach. The first game followed a group of children who had been shrunk and lost in a back yard, a place where grass suddenly towered overhead and usually harmless insects became apex predators. For the followup, the kids are back and they’ve been shrunk once again, but this time they’ve been dropped into a new, wider space.
