Grounded was a blast with enjoyable and mysterious adventure in a miniature world, offering a fascinating map and engaging gameplay. However, the experience takes an unexpected turn towards the end game.

! Spoiler Warning !

Without clear warnings or guidance, players may find themselves at a critical juncture where they need to defend multiple locations simultaneously. This challenge becomes particularly daunting for solo players or even duos.

Turns out, building walls is key for defense, but there was no information or a hint was given earlier. Now, I'm getting bombarded by O.R.C bugs, and I can't even get to my base. Solo or even with a buddy, it's a struggle. Wish I knew about this madness before diving in. :)

I wanted to keep exploring, but these relentless attacks have me stuck. It's like, "Let me enjoy the game, please!" Grounded is awesome, but a heads-up on the defense thing would've been golden. Now, I'm just bug-swatting instead of having a good time exploring the rest of this tiny world.

Great game to to get rid of stress and anger

Step 1: Create a clone of that person you don't like
Step 2: Use your creativity; drowning, fire, hunger, electrocution ...

I don't know why I haven't wrote a review about this game since. I already played more than 1000 hours and I can honestly say this is my favorite game of all times.

I love open world, survival, multiplayer games. This game has everything I have ever wanted from a game. Here is a list of the things I like the most about it:

- It is possible to tame animals and take NPC's as slaves. Having an animal friend or NPC in your journey changes you experience completely. Even if you don't have any friends to play with, I can assure you, your slaves and animals are more loyal then most people :)
- Some animals and some slaves are stronger the others. You have to go step by step, otherwise you can find their carcass or corpse in the battlefield.

- You can create clans with your friends, build and survive together. It is possible to create a clan with many people, so you can ride your horses like a small army.
- There is a ranking system in clans, so you can rank up or down you clanmates.

- There is a server for every gaming style. You can play on your local server, you can play on online servers.
- You can also select the server style you want. There are many options like peacefull servers which pvp is disabled completely, time restricted pvp servers which is my favorite and pvp enabled servers with chaos :D It is all up to you.

- Conan Exiles mostly has friendly and outgoing community . You can socialize in servers and have new friends. Most people would love to help you if you need anything.
- Unfortunately, rarely some people only wants "glory" and "ego". They think killing you is sattisfying their ego.

- There are two different maps to play so far.I mostly played on the main map which is Exiled Lands but also I love the dlc map Isle of Siptah. Both of them has great stories and locations to explore. For beginners, I would recommend the main map.

- The game is up to date, they are releasing bug fixes, patches, new dlcs and new features. And even some extensions and improvements on current maps.

- Building architecture and techniques are well designed. You can design a building as you want but you must consider stability as in real life.
- There are many different building options belongs to different architecture. With dlc's you can build as you want which can be inspired by the roman empire, like the turan ruler or like a savage

- There are no cheaters in the game. During the time I played I never saw a cheater in any server.

Lets talk about the the negative aspects of the game. There is not much in my opinion but lets try to make it a honest review.

- Slaves and animals can get bugges and ignore commands rarely. Or sometimes they are just rejecting to attack some type of creatures.
- Sometimes maps can be too crowded in some servers which may cause you to have FPS drops or, building which are blocking passages may annoy you.
- There is no in-game report player option as far as I know. It would be great and more effective if it was possible to report another player.

Good for spending time with friends but It has no goal like dungeons, bosses etc. In 2 hours you can get everything you need. There is no need to grind for more cuz there is no danger around. Since there is no objective you don't need to get better. No need for food, since there is no hunger bar, just using food for health regeneration.

You have to jump all the way even for one block, and if you have jet pack you will have lovely fps problems.

It was fun to play for first a few hours then everything was done, It is good as small free to play game but not more.

Evertything is fine except one thing...

The most useless and unnecessary character: Raven. Appears out of nowhere, spawning in front of you, blocking your way, teaching absolutely nothing, I've never seen such an annoying character before my whole life.

Let me explain it like this if you like Harry Potter, it is more annoying than Dolores Umbridge, if you like Game of Thrones, it is more annoying then Joffrey. Like a schizophrenic illusion, it reappears when I'm glad it just disappeared.

Don't wait incredible gameplay but fancy achievements. If you like to collect achievement and decorate your profile...

Complete new experience, new map and new creatures. Let me tell you my experience so far, I will try to keep this comment up to date while playing.

You start the game, after the ship carrying you as slave sinks and you open your eyes in the coast of a giant island. A lot of ship debris and bodies around you to loot for basic resources like wood, branch, fiber etc. This place gives a player to jump start, thanks to rich resources but whatchout new dogly creature is also there for food.

New feature; mounting the rhino. Well not bad, but I will still use horses instead. Rhinos have greater health and stamina pool and they can attack with their horns when you pressed spacebar, but they can't jump and stamina recovery takes too much time. You cant use even one handed weapons on them but when you got attacked, it handles much of the damage and protects you. When you are not riding it, it acts like an horse and if attacked, it runs away and doesn't fight back.

You can hear thunder and lightning frequently, which means storm is about to begin in the center of the map. There is a sorcerous tower in the center, which causes storm to start and spooky new creatures to wait for prey in this storm. They came in various shapes and powers, so try not to run out of stamina. Luckily they cannot get out of the storm, if they do they fade away. Don't trust your mount to running away. Strom eaffect drains your mount's stamina which causes you to fall from it.

You can see little tornados around the map which acts like one way portal. It take creatures form the Exiled Lands- which is the base game- and drop them into the Isle of Siptah. This event is called as wild surge. You can find a thrall by chasing wild surges or you can create a normal surge. To create a normal surge you need decaying eldarium which can be found in dungeons. After collecting enough of them, you can use the pyramidal structures around the storm area to summon a surge.

Imagine Dying Light; without parkour mechanics, more focus on community living , with supply and base management. It doesn't give you the movement freedoom as Dying Light, but hence it is based on community, it provides you a different and interesting gameplay which you can swap to another person in your community, invite NPC's to your community, ask one of your people to follow and help you in your mission, make allies and enemies. Here are my ideas for additional development or features;

• There are predefined characters to play with but I always prefer to play with my own customized character. Character customization could be great improvement.
  
• Skill point system is limited. Each character have different skills by default. There are books for gaining skills you can find while looting, but If you don't have that skill in your character, you can't read and gain that skill. For example; if your player doesn't have mechanics skill, he/she can't learn it.

One of my favorite game series! Although I found the first game much more successful in terms of story and atmosphere, the details and graphics in this game have been much improved. It felt like a trapped, as almost all of the first game took place indoors, but I didn't experience the same tension as this game is outside.

Even though I finished each game twice before, I bought it again on steam. If you really like thriller and horror, you should try it. You won't regret it, or will you?

Tried to play 0.2 hours but still have too much to say... This game is full of bugs.

-> The game started in tiny window and I couldn't change to the fullscreen because of the mouse speed problem. Mouse speed in the game is a lot lower than the actual speed. So when I wanted to press fullscreen and move my mouse to it, mouse goes out of the game window. Closed and reopened the game anf then for no known reason, in second launch this problem was solved.

-> In first task, phone bugged for me, hint arrow shows me to open the phone even if I opened the phone.

-> Interestingly, the clicking doesn't work sometimes. Sometimes right click works, sometimes left click.

-> Search engine is not working, cannot enter domain name to visit or cannot search anything, if it is not because of the clicking problem.

->Even if I haven't completed the first mission, 10 percent of the game already seems completed.

I am not satisfied as the game is too short and full of bugs. It need serious development and bug fixes.
