I knew this update was coming, but I'm still kind of shocked now that it's here: Grounded has a massive koi fish watching over the unnerving pond biome, and it's giving me nervous Sekiro flashbacks. Rather than just setting the scaly fiend...

From the moment the initial trailer of The Outer Worlds dropped, where it brazenly declared that it was from the developers of "The original" Fallout and Fallout: New Vegas, it was a game that I knew I needed in my life. Then the inevitable...

The Outer Worlds on Switch prompted a lot of conversation about if some sacrifices are worth making when porting a game to weaker hardware. For those who played it on PC, PS4, or Xbox One, it was a noticeable downgrade for sure. For me...

The Outer Worlds is a kooky sci-fi world I want to explore more of, and while I think (and hope) an eventual sequel could be a home-run, for now, Obsidian Entertainment is expanding Halcyon with DLC. The first of the two story expansions is...

The Outer Worlds came out nearly a year ago, but it's revving up and almost ready to deliver its first major DLC in just a few weeks. Peril on Gorgon is nearly here, but before it hits you can check out this lengthy and informativ...

The future looks bright and bug-filled for Grounded. When the game was first announced, I liked the idea of a shrunken survival game well enough, but it wasn't until I played it that I appreciated just how much potential there is. Obsidian ...

With millions of players and a generally warm reception to the Early Access release of Grounded, Obsidian Entertainment is getting started on monthly updates for the backyard bug survival game. The first monthly update (0.2.0) went live to...

Since we checked in with Grounded, Obsidian has been busy. Before we wage a war on bees and try not to cower at the sight of a gargantuan koi fish darting around the pond, the studio has another patch this week – version 0.1.2 –...

We built walls from blades of grass. The spiders tore them down. We constructed weapons and went to battle. The spiders defeated us with little effort. We fled to a new home. The spiders just followed us. Honestly, the spiders in Grounded ...

Microsoft is giving Obsidian Entertainment all the work it can handle. It appears as though the developer has at least four games in production right now. Obsidian's design director Josh Sawyer mentioned on Twitter yesterday that he's curre...

All of my favorite survival games tend to have an unspeakable horror to keep me on my toes, and Grounded – a shrunken-down solo/co-op adventure from RPG powerhouse Obsidian – is no exception. Even if you're the kind of person wh...

As revealed on the Xbox Games Showcase stream, that recent DLC tease for The Outer Worlds was leading up to Peril on Gorgon, a new slice of story set on the Gorgon Asteroid, "formerly the site of one of Halcyon's most ambitious and disastr...

As Obsidian so poignantly points out, if you're waiting for the biggest game of the year, look no further than Cyberpunk 2077. Grounded, however, is the smallest. This new trailer shows off a lot of the arachnophobic Honey, I Shrunk The Ki...

Obsidian Entertainment has announced a brand new fantasy RPG, Avowed, coming to PC and Xbox Series X. A teaser trailer for the game also premiered, which you can check out below.Described as "The game Obsidian wanted to make after it joined...

You can't go to the Outer Worlds site right now without maneuvering through an ever-so-brief takeover. Try it for yourself. You'll have to sit through Spacer's Choice hawking some Adrena-Time. ("It's not the best choice, it's Spacer's ...

There's some good stuff imminently coming to Xbox Game Pass. Well, good games. The creepy-crawlies and hell-spawns within those games aren't as good -- especially if you have arachnophobia or a fear of tendrilled death monsters. The next tw...

After a lengthy wait period (approximately six and a half months) from the core launch of The Outer Worlds, Switch users finally got their port. But like most monkey's paw wishes, it was polarizing and in many ways, not optimized.  Whi...

Before today, I thought that Grounded, a shrunken-kids survival game from the RPG powerhouse Obsidian, had decent potential. It's not exactly the studio's bread and butter, but the pitch – a solo/co-op adventure in which you'll chop d...

Playing The Outer Worlds on Nintendo Switch is sorta like how you might imagine the PC version looks with most of its visual settings cranked way down or outright disabled. It's not pretty – the textures, assets, and character and env...

Stop me if you've seen this before. A big-name game launches simultaneously for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, with a Switch edition "coming later." Given the reputation some games have as a "poor Switch port," some publishers really want to get it ...

We're coming up on the final, at-last, gonna-happen June 5 Nintendo Switch release for The Outer Worlds. How's it shaping up? We haven't seen much gameplay footage yet, but Obsidian did release a batch of screenshots with Vicar Max, Nyoka, ...

You always want to test drive a car before you buy it. Take it around the block, get a feel for how it moves, kick the tires a few times. You'll have that opportunity with Obsidian's Grounded, but this test drive mostly serves to clear up s...

The whole premise of Obsidian's upcoming game, Grounded, is that you're a kid who's the size of a bug. Think about that. It's terrifying. Ants aren't so bad when we're dealing with normal proportions, but a person-sized ant is a horrorshow....

Obsidian's Honey, I Shrunk the Kids-style survival adventure Grounded is coming to Xbox One and Steam Early Access on July 28, 2020, the studio announced today during an at-home edition of Inside Xbox. As a miniaturized kid in a killer bac...

The collective of Obsidian Entertainment, Virtuous Games and Private Division have done it: they've weathered the storm formed by coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, and are now ready to release The Outer Worlds on Switch. According to th...
