Pc version of open world exploration game without quicksave key. There's a lot of wrong with Grounded, but man i feels like Obsidian really losing touch with PC game with this one.
Conversely, Grounded has the best inventory management system of any survival game ever.
To the point that I have a hard time playing others now because they all feel tedious in comparison. It's hard to imagine someone playing Grounded and then building a survival game that didn't use hot deposit.
JUST for hot deposit, yeh. the rest of the inventory/hotbar management always makes me wish i was playing something else.
the hotbar not being inventory space is fine, but tools disappearing because they’re in your hand is absurd. they really just added a “looking for the tv remote that i’m already holding” mechanic. the pinning system with filters is handy for food, but feels clunky outside that one usecase.
like they went with a realistic “the forest” style building system, and then the inventory management is the most videogamey shit in the world.
also the scroll wheel swapping hotbars by default is straight up whacky, i’ve heard the whole thing makes more sense on controller lmao
The pinning system is an improvement over not having a pinning system that should exist in every game. Food, water, ranged weapons, explosives, healing items, shields, even melee weapons, it makes sense for all of them given that all of them can break.
i just keep the one repaired tho
