Grounded

A standout survival release for PC players.

Grounded delivers one of the more memorable Survival experiences on PC. Released for 2024, it pairs confident art direction with audio design that pulls every scene together. Systems layer cleanly: combat, exploration, progression, and narrative all carry weight, and the early hours teach you the language without lecturing. Set-pieces and boss encounters show real craft, while quieter moments give space to absorb the world. PC support covers ultrawide, HDR, DLSS and FSR, plus fully rebindable controls. The save system is forgiving, menus are quick, and the patch cadence is steady. Whether you are here for the campaign or the post-game challenges, Grounded is a release you can recommend without caveats to any PC player with an evening to spare for survival games. Community mods, regular events, and an active player base extend the experience well beyond the credits.

Performance in Grounded is rock solid on a mid-range rig. No hitching.

Devs of Grounded clearly listened to community feedback. Patches are spot on.
