How it plays

Small insects, huge backyard

Grounded 2 shrinks you to the size of a bug in Brookhollow Park. Survive the backyard with up to three friends, craft gear from the world around you, tame rideable Buggies, pick an archetype to suit your playstyle and take on bosses like the AXL tarantula and King Dozer. It's the sequel to Obsidian's 12-million-player hit — now with a whole new park to explore.
