Grounded is a neat little twist on the survival genre where your characters are shrunk down and must content with hunger, thirst and the dangers of insects roaming around a backyard while exploring every nook and cranny for resources, power ups and secrets. I had a good time going through the story, even the next thing I needed to do wasn’t clear at times and there were some slight hurdles in the progression that felt more frustrating than challenging. Overall, a cool game!

Raft is an interesting twist on the survival/exploration/crafting genre by putting the focus on oceanic exploration. Stuck on a small raft with not much but a plastic hook and your wits, you gather resources, fight enemies, explore islands, solve puzzles and progress through a storyline that guides your across the sea in a gameplay that clashes often between how chill it can be, how involved it can be and how repetitively frustrating it can be. Deciding to build an immense raft-tower, I had a good time with the game, playing with a good friend the whole way.
