During a ceremony to commemorate their first adventure where they were shrunk down and had to fight for their lives in a backyard filled with spiders and ants, they somehow wound up shrunk down yet again. In Grounded 2 the action takes place in a park and the trailer shows off caterpillars, scorpions, preying mantises, and several kinds of spiders (sorry, arachnophobes) including one that uses its own web as a shield. There are new locations and points of interest to explore in the park like a hot dog vending machine, a picnic bench, and one biome that appears to be bunch of ice cream cones and popsicles that someone dropped. Frosty. While you wait for the end of July to shrink down and crew up, you can find Grounded 2 here on Steam.

Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
