Thankfully, my chance at redemption is at hand with Grounded 2, which is making its debut on PlayStation 5 this month. Now, to be clear, this follow-up is still in early access, but unlike the original, a lot of the scaffolding and foundation for a fully formed game has already been established. Also new to Grounded 2 are rideable animals, dubbed buggies, which make traversal much speedier. Grounded 2 (PS5) Early Access Review: Not-So-Final VerdictWith the addition of rideable buggies, the streamlining of its tool system, and the sheer amount of content to work through, Grounded 2 is a no-brainer for those who bought into the series’ unique take on the survival genre. We’ll have to see how the game progresses as it inches its way out of early access, but so far, things seem rather bright in Brookhaven Park.
