Grounded 2 hands-on preview – A fascinating sequel in a massive yet familiar world

Playing the first Grounded game during its Early Access period was an interesting experience. My friends may not love survival games, but this one had me firmly in its grasp for hours upon hours. Fast forward to 2025, and Grounded 2 has me feeling excited yet conflicted.

Grounded 2 is a direct continuation of the first game. Following its opening, which summarizes the prequel's story, the aftermath, and present-day events leading up to you taking control of your playable character, you'll wake up inside an Ominent lab and quickly realize that you've, once again, shrunken down to the size of an ant. This time, you're at a now ruined Brookhallow Park, and your goal is to figure out why you're small again and what new challenges are afoot.
