Of course I would like to say that I have been absolutely enthralled by Grounded 2 since its release, even in early access and with a phenomenal game preceding it, it’s an incredible game so far! The biggest issue for me has been the Creature Cards/Bosses.
In Grounded, every boss and creature in the game is respawnable, this is important because if you forgot to PEEP them you could summon them again- or, if they didn’t respawn, you were automatically given their creature card.
If you forget to peep some of the O.R.C. creatures/bosses, or the final boss (M.S.), the only way you could go back and get the card is if you reloaded the save. Of course this is partly user error, but I missed peeping both the ORC Mantis (I probably didn’t even realize it was a boss fight, I lowkey think multiple ORC variants of existing creatures as bosses seems ‘lazy’ but I digress) who I’m pretty sure doesn’t respawn, and more importantly the final boss.
Anyways, I realized EIGHT in-game days later. It would be extremely annoying to try and replay that entire week. It’s equally annoying that I’m just completely barred from getting their creature card on my current save. I’m aware the M.S. will likely reappear in the future, and maybe another ORC Mantis. However, it’s really frustrating when my goal was to “complete” everything available in early access.
I know this may not be a huge issue for everyone, but I know I’m not the only one who realized their mistake too late. Of course I’ve run into some of the aforementioned bugs, like the endless sizzle, creatures in unreachable places, game crashing frequently, but I see all of these eventually being fixed.
Since this seems like more of a fundamental issue, I thought I would point it out. Regardless, I love and appreciate all the hard work that went into Grounded 2! I hope I eventually get the cards…
