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...

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...

The Outer Worlds launched last October with some tiny, baby-sized font. Only hawks could make out the text without squinting. A month later, developer Obsidian released an update that included a toggle for increasing the font size. It ...

The coronavirus epidemic in China has had significant effect on the video game industry. Last week, Taipei Game Show, one of the most-attended video game conventions in the world, was postponed due to the outbreak. Now, a highly-anticipated...

Obsidian has pulled back the curtain on the "TBA" release date for The Outer Worlds on Switch: it is now set for March 6, 2020, as confirmed to Destructoid. It will go for $59.99 on the eShop and at retail: but note that publisher...

For years, we begged Bethesda to just give us another New Vegas. Fallout 4 wasn't it. 76 definitely wasn't it. So Obsidian rolled up its sleeves and said "screw it, we'll do it ourselves." It's fitting, too, because Obsidian ...

Obsidian traded one wasteland for another, from the post-nuclear apocalypse to the intergalactic mess caused by mega-corporate mega-greed. Truth be told, Obsidian has never really had trouble diversifying. Obsidian has pulled out the best i...

The Outer Worlds is a fantastic late-2019 bloomer for multiple reasons. One, we finally got the Fallout game we've been waiting for since New Vegas. Two, it was accessible as hell thanks to the Xbox Game Pass system, putting it in...

If you aren't ready to leave Parvati and [your second-favorite companion] behind, heads up: Obsidian is working on DLC for The Outer Worlds – the good kind, I mean. The story-centric kind. "To all of those who voted for us in The Game...

The Outer Worlds and Death Stranding are two games I'm very into right now, but they both contain lots of little words that can be a struggle to make out. I can't imagine what it's been like for folks playing on a responsible-human-sized TV...
