3/21/2023 0 Comments Grounded hot and hazy update![]() ![]() Obsidian Entertainment is planning to put in Steam achievements and cards and a complete storyline. If players have drifted away from this game for a while, playing this game again will make it feel like it’s a whole new title. With this latest update, now is a good time to go back out into the backyard and see what’s new. Grounded has generated a lot more meat to its bones ever since its original launch back in 2020. Even though the Hot and Hazy update has been out for a few months, it’s definitely rejuvenating the player base. This update provides a variety of new incentives to go back, including new loot and enemies to encounter. It’s been around forever, but it left very little reason for players to go into it. The “Haze Biome” had a major facelift with this update. The light armor helps with the regeneration of stamina, medium armor kind of stagnates stamina while heavy armor slows it down. This helps sort out what kind of gear is best suitable for certain parts of the map. These categories are light, medium, and heavy. Armor has also been broken up into different categories. Everything was basically revamped from top to bottom to help make Grounded more accessible and immersive. Things like “explosive fungi” and new infected forms of insects like weevils and ladybugs. Thus, a lot of the map has been retooled to give a little more “seasoning” to the environment. The Lab has been redone to help out with finding objectives and what to collect. Additionally, the new “Brain Power” feature helps newcomers with this game unlock crafting and recipes. This is done through milk molars and globs. Microscopic Mightįurthermore, the Hot and Hazy update also provided ways for players to upgrade the stats with their weapons and party members. Apparently, Obsidian Entertainment was happy to oblige. Many players rather enjoyed this feature from previous updates and they wanted to see more of it applied to other parts of the map. The only way to rectify that situation is by staying in the shade. This feature basically means that if players stay in direct sunlight, the heat will cause harm and it will deplete their health. It’s been greatly expanded upon and it’s mostly seen in the new Sandbox biome. ![]() Speaking of sunlight, the “Sizzle” feature made a comeback with a vengeance. Players will be able to spot them with a little “shine” in the ground. There are hints of buried treasure peppered throughout the map which can be seen in the sunlight. Speaking of loot, this update also provides a shovel that can be utilized to dig up treasure. Inside, players will be able to find special loot along with a mini-boss of some kind. This anthill is very much like a “dark dungeon” that’s layered with pathways, tunnels, and curving corridors. Thusly, there will be a new anthill to explore called the “Black Ant Hill.” This new biome introduces a new threat which will be the Black Ants which will require a whole new set of gear to fight with. This insect is a foe for both humans and insects, alike. Naturally, these places will introduce a flurry of new enemies like the Antlion. The “Trash Heap”, the “Picnic Table” and the “Sandbox” are the new parts of the map that players can poke around in. There are now new fully explorable biomes that players can venture through. The “Hot and Hazy” update expands the map in a plethora of ways. Even though the biggest update was last October, the developers are constantly tweaking things to make the best of what this game has to offer. However, this is a title that generally had a somewhat rough launch, only to get better and better as time went on. The developers are busy with other projects, like Pentimnet and this may slow things down a bit. Right now, everything is kind of slowly oozing in that direction. There will come a time to where this game will have a complete narrative. This is mainly due to the ever-branching storyline that keeps evolving. As time went on, the developers steadily kept fattening up this world with more things to do.Įven though Grounded was essentially a “ survival game” of sorts, it kind of has morphed into a full-blown RPG throughout the months. Grounded was launched as a title that had some rather thin content. What this did was, not only provide new areas to explore but also new gameplay features altogether. This past October, the developers gave this game a patch called, “The Hot and Hazy” update. They are most known for their work with The Outer Worlds and Fallout: New Vegas. ![]() This game was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and it’s a very different animal compared to their other games. Even though this concept isn’t wholly original, it makes for a compelling video game. Grounded is a survival game that entails a group of kids who were shrunken down into the size of a walnut and forced to survive the dangers of their own backyard. ![]()
