While the official release of the game is slated for much later in 2021, as of today, Xbox Game Pass users can now experienceGroundedin Early Access. Now, because the game is being released inEarly Access, the quality of the game will likely not reflect the final product released in 2021, but regardless, players will be able to experience whatGroundedhas to offer firsthand.
Having said that, based on what was shown and based on the early reactions of users playing the Early Access version of the game, there is a lot thatGroundedhas to offer and a lot more content that has yet to be shown. Especially considering the rumors thatGroundedwill feature a darker, more sinister tonein contrast to what has largely been shown through trailers and gameplay.
Based on what Obsidian Entertainment has developed in the past,Groundedappears to be quite thedeparture from Obisidian’s RPG traditions. Whether the developers of the game will manage to deliver a fun and compelling experience remains to be seen given how differentGroundedis from any other game the studio has developed.
In addition toGrounded, Obsidian Entertainment is also putting out an open-world RPG calledAvowed. This game appears to be the polar opposite of the futuristic sci-fi setting ofThe Outer Worlds, withAvowedtaking place in a fantasy setting with a large, expansive map to explore and discover. Hopefully, the developers will manage to give players a lot to look forward to in terms of both of these games.
