Sometimes even frankly pretty, especially on PC, thanks to a very coherent and inspired art direction, Grounded Mobile knows how to vary the pleasures and how to take advantage of the smallness of your character to constantly surprise you. With its cartoon design, atmospheric soundtrack and very natural sound design, Obsidian’s title have no difficulty in immersing the player and inviting him to explore at all times. If there is one strength you can concede to Grounded Mobile, it is clear to have been able to shape a particularly immersive universe. With only your two little arms and a backpack as your only equipment, you will have to explore the place and collect resources in order to survive in this universe as enchanting as it is hostile. Indeed, following a mysterious scientific experiment, you and your companions wake up miniaturized in the garden of a pavilion in what seems to be a residential neighbourhood. After a character selection screen allowing you to choose among one of the 4 proposed teenagers, you wake up in a bucolic world, to say the least, which could look like a dense forest, with one exception, the trees here are blades of grass and the mountains are simple pebbles. Grounded Mobile, first originality lies in its universe. Available for early access on Steam and the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Grounded Mobile turns out to be more refreshing than one might think. Developed by a small team, the title seemed to fit into a genre far too saturated to succeed.

The American studio, renowned for having a DNA firmly anchored in RPG and with a pedigree that does its credit in the field, unveiled a survival game. Presented by Obsidian a little less than a year ago, Grounded Mobile had something to surprise, if not disappointed.
