You can even marry in that game. I'm with @BruceVC on this, but I also want such games to depict people and the environment in a real way. I just cannot get into games that have cartoon-like art styles/imagery. Just can't seem to be able to gain immersion in the game if things don't look at least somewhat realistic (but not necessarily talking high-end graphics here). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted pictures of it so you can judge for yourself if the art style is realistic enough for you. The game is super chill and there's zero violence. You climb.

Wormerine Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The last hurrah from Mimimi games will be out on Dec6, in form of a double DLCs for Shadow Gambit adding a new mini-campaign consisting of 6 new missions total. Both DLCs will introduce a new playable character and island each, and they will integrate with the base game (so new characters can be used for existing missions). 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrown Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Looks like Diablo4 is free to play on Steam until the 28th. It's with the same limitations as the public beta was, so if you didn't play that you can give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Hands up those forum oldies who knew Grounded was one of Obsidian's biggest games (pun unintended)? Might have something to do with the game pass thing.

melkathi Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I didn't *know* but I had noticed that Grounded was rather prominent among Obsidian games. It appeared like something that sneakily snuck past other games in popularity. Well, now I *know* and in *knowing* I have become stronger. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Hurlshort Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 It's not too surprising that Grounded is their biggest, given that it is targetted to a much larger demographic than just the crotchety old timers that hang out here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Grounded and tried to play after it left EA, but the game crashed when I tried to start a new game, so it is sitting in the library at the moment. Will try again in a year or two. Somehow, I did not expect that to be Obsidian's most popular title when there are Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, and The Outer Worlds (which I should replay with the DLC. I wish it was smaller, storage-wise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it briefly, and hope to force myself to play more of it. Seems like a very well put together title, though it’s not something that I particularly enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melkathi Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 It is funny that there will be a group of gamers that will see a game in the future, see the Obsidian logo and go "Oh, these are the devs that made Grounded" 1 1 2 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Katphood Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Not your average type of news, but about 6 months ago, this fella made this documentary called 'The Entire History of Video Games'.
