Can you name which ones you think are better? I'm always looking for some good ones

Any of the ones not made by MS.

I was actually keen to try this out with my girl, but she hates spiders lol

I'm not 100% sure, but I remember there being an Arachnophobia setting in the game.

Here are some good ones (random order):

• Valheim
• The Forest
• Subnautica
• Abiotic Factor
• Dune: Awakening (though it's also an MMO)

I enjoy all of these games, even if some would benefit from more fundin an bakin (as per usual in this genre...). That said, the article author is correct: after just a few hours in, I'd say Grounded 2 easily somewhere among the top. Thus, I disagree with tmlDan's sentiment. Grounded 2 is already a really good game. With a solid coat of polish, if it gets the number for even more development resources, it will likely beat the best ones in the genre.

You know this is what every editorial piece and influencer video/tweet is, right?

Really, even the ones that are against a game, are an advertisement for the game? Even bad reviews are advertisements for a game?

The Day Before Early Access Review - IGN

Easily one of the worst games of 2023.

Wanted to play more before i gave a reco, finished the EA part of the game.

This game is almost entirely broken, its mechanics are intentionally made to delay building and make it harder to gather resources (such as getting items through RNG for upgrades for your tools) and is far less fun alone.

Enshrouded, Sons of the Forest, Subnautica, Dune, Valheim, Hell even Palworld is better. Runescape Dragonwilds is also better.

This game is incredibly sub par and incredibly glitchy to the point its annoying.

Bugs randomly spawn in your base, your ant gets stuck in your house causing you to fall through the floor, your backpack falls through the floor if you die and drop it. The fundamentals are incredibly weak, nothing really works together, the water just does not auto hold water from the dew collector. I could go on, but this one is far worse than many on the market. All the science collection and you can't build anything interesting.

If only you were describing 1.0 tho and not literally the initial release of an EA title.

Game is showing on Xbox app right next to FH5. Needless to say, they are killing it with this release on xbox consoles.

It's a pretty good platformer, surpassed Astrobot in just 2 weeks.

The Xbox games are coming. Just a matter of when. I wonder if they'll bring over Sea of Thieves, Halo and Gears. If the games can be played on Series S, the no reason they can't be played on the S2.
