"Honestly an amazing sequel. I never really got into the original as it was a bit hard and daunting as a solo beginner so it was very nice to see that grounded 2 is wayyy more beginner friendly. YOU CAN LITERALLY RIDE BUGS and they harvest resources for you, protect you and recruit other bugs."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Was super excited to play this game since the trailer release, and it has been amazing! Great game, graphics look astonishing, and they definitely have upped the gameplay. Love that bugs can now block against your attacks, and new weapon upgrades as well as the omi tool."
