So I 100%'ed the first Grounded game and loved every minute of it. In the first game I always had a bow on me for ranged attacks and sometimes for hunting food. In the second game I have not found myself using a bow anywhere near as much as I did for the first game and that is because its felt lack luster. It feels like I can't generate meaningful damage with a bow even if I use my upgraded great bow I would rather put it back in my inventory and use a melee weapon even with the new wasp drones. (if pollen arrows only work on some flying creatures just say that) I really feel not being able to block with the bow really hurt more than helped. I don't use it at all and if I try I end up dying in fights. I really hope they put parrying back onto the bows cause I have never felt the desire to zoom with the bow in either game. I hope they add this feature back from the first game. Right now my bow and arrows I worked decently hard to get feel like they just take up space in my inventory. I hope they make changes to the bow, with the new buggy I have the feeling of why use a bow at all with the new buggy with a water cannon that so much more effective

I love how the game fast forwards and shows the day night cycle while resting on a bed. However since its just the perspective of the player from the bed if you have the bed inside you miss out on that feature completely. The new bed with a canopy blocks that view as well. I think there should be a view from either outside each area or around the park at different angles. I currently have my bed on my roof since its the best view currently and ive enjoyed sleeping with it there but I do wish I could put it in my master bedroom and still enjoy that view.

I came to try the new AXL update and remembered you could jump from the chair... when I did that again I flew to the height barrier of the game.

So far I am absolutely loving my time with grounded 2! Finished the quest to the current point absolutely geeked out at the masked stranger and its one of my favorite voice actors! Only thing that felt missing so far from the first game was the excitement I felt from being able to see EVERYTHING I could build from the work bench. Since it was exclusively in the build wheel there were a few times certain things I could build I totally forgot about or it was lost in that window. I wish I could see everything in the workbench and while I'm building use the circle window. So far thats the only thing I feel missing. It is something I could see myself getting used to but it would be nice for crafting and building to just be the same again. Maybe another bench or station for building but I think its the only thing that feels missing from the first for me. The workbench just feels lacking a bit without all the options. Next thing is a very fun glitch that I had a couple times is getting on my buggy and they get a super bounce and pretty much lose fall damage. I was able to jump over grass stems and escape encounters easily. Doing it with the spider buggy was the fastest ive ever gotten around the park. I could jump over grass stems in one bounce and get pretty much anywhere. Now I dont think its something that should happen as a random glitch but def something I think would be fun if you could make it happen to your mount as a temp buff.
