Epic bite-sized adventureĪll in all, Grounded is fun and charming, which is quite a surprise considering it's a survival game battling spiders, bees, and whatnot. While on the subject, you will need to have an Xbox Live subscription to play with others online, which some players will find an issue with.

What's more, any progress you make is carried over to your own single-player game save, which is a nice and thoughtful feature. If things get a bit too tough, you can have friends join you in online multiplayer with up to four players. You will often have to experiment with various gear, upgrades, and skills to deal with enemies. Combat is fairly straightforward, but its RPG-like approach makes it interesting. Explore the lush and surprisingly large world of Grounded as you scavenge for food and resources to craft weapons and build a base. Those once tiny and seemingly harmless insects you see around are now dangerous predators, with you as their prey. You must fend for yourself inside The Backyard and find a way to return to normal size. In the game, you play as one of four kids that have mysteriously been shrunken down to minuscule proportions. However, everything becomes dangerous and life-threatening when you're the size of an ant. Grounded takes place in your typical cozy suburban home, complete with a backyard and white picket fence.
