Grounded Is BASICALLY Honey I Shrunk The Kids On Switch...And I love it!

[@SwitchUpYt]

A huge thanks to the publisher for sponsoring Glen and me to cover the game - pretty humbling when Obsidian are one of your sponsors... Crazy times! Support us and check it out here: l.daredrop.com/GroundedSwitchUp - cheers. Mark

Font size adjustment is so very appreciated as a handheld exclusive player, thanks Devs and cheers Mark for letting us know about it.

[@ruthurban1959]

Can you also invert x and y camera if playing in 3rd person?

[@jesssealey6552]

@@ruthurban1959 ooh good question 🤔 hopefully an answer is forthcoming or available online 😀

[@FarmerSlideJoeBob]

It's pretty important but not many devs gives you the option, which is sad😔

[@ConditionallyUsed]

woot!

[@johngalt2069]

Agreed. So many games end up unplayable in handheld when you can’t get through tiny menus.

[@Geffry993]

i don't like that on sponsored video you don't speak about performances (while is your main focus on personal reviews) and from the footage they honestly look not that great. Keep the integrity up for your community :)

[@huyjustin99]

Same, they don't show up the real performance and negative things about the game at all, when the game has sponsored.

[@Jamie-1428]

He did speak on performance tho but I have it on my lite and havnt seen any dips from 30 fps

[@OneColdMonkey]

Obsidian are such an interesting company. Their games go in so many different directions, and they always manage to pull them off!

[@1smileaday771]

I LOVE the fact that they made it able to play in 3rd person. It's hard for me to enjoy first-person games. I always wondered why it couldn't be optional.

[@ruthurban1959]

Me too!!

[@7Write4This9Heart7]

Same! First person games make me dizzy and nauseous, so I always love when games that either are first person or have it as an option give us third person! Thank goodness! lol.

You guys are crushing it!! What a sponsor. You are the best 🎉🎉😊

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

Possibly my earliest childhood memory is from the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids ride/exhibit on a trip to Universal Studios in 1995. I was obsessed with bugs and watched the movie regularly when I was a kid because of how fascinating I thought the idea of being that small was. Growing up I always wanted a game that captured the experience of being shrunk down to the size of a bug. There have been brief moments in games or entire games that came kind of close like the ant hill in MediEvil, the A Bug’s Life game on PS1, the Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes series, It Takes Two, and Terraria always made me feel like I was exploring an ant farm (I may be the only one who feels that way 🤷‍♂️ ). I’ve always felt like shrinking the player down to that size would make for a really interesting game and it’s always baffled me why it’s so underutilized. When this and Smalland were announced I finally felt justified for feeling that way. I feel like I’ve been preparing for this game my whole life and I’m so happy it’s finally on consoles. I’m downloading it on my PS5 right now. If any developers happen to see this, thank you for making my childhood dream come true.

[@Ken-yg2nr]

I have been playing this the last two days and loving it. So happy they brought it to switch

[@AndresBadel1]

Very cool to see Microsoft (by extension) sponsor this video, but not going to lie I'd been selfishly hoping you all would give a proper review of the game once it released

[@electricsheep2882]

Nice. This takes me back to the 80's and the wonder I had watching Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in the theater on my birthday. Congrats on the sponsor too. Cheers!

[@aus86]

Being an 80s kid my brother and I fell in love with this game instantly. We spent a lot of hours in this when it was in alpha/beta testing on PC. Each time they released new content we would dive back in and love this game even more! I don't have much time for the PC anymore since the 2nd child so I feel this could be a good investment due to the switches portability.. Can always have a sneaky play while I'm rocking the little one to sleep lol 😂 Cheers for the video guys 💚

[@asyab.370]

As someone who’s an 90s kid (as this game takes place in 1990) same here. I just shared this game with mom, I’m teaching her how to play and she loves it.

[@zar-cough448]

That looks absolutely delightful! I remember wanting to play it a long time ago but never had means to do so. It's pretty sick that it made its way to switch

[@_Ukiyo_]

"Worm.... Worm Never Changes." I loved that reference to fallout :D

[@switchingitup_]

Nice one guys!! Well deserved sponsorship. Knew you would be my go to for the Nintendo Switch version of this game. I am slightly interested in this now, especially as one of "those" Micros games.

[@scrambamble7309]

I’m a long time fan of this game and I’ve been wanting it on Switch forever. I’m so glad to hear performance is solid. Thanks for the review!

[@jaymondo]

This is one of the best games I have ever played, so glad it's on switch. Amazing - how did they do it?

[@Gambit2483]

Appreciate you guys not giving a proper review since the video was sponsored...but was really hoping for a critique specifically for the Switch version, i.e. how well it runs and if there are any issues. Great video regardless 👍

[@ppbunt]

Obsidian as a sponsor? Nice one guys, gg!

[@xcrack6364]

I am absolutely addicted to this game. It's so fun and plays excellent on the switch, especially in handheld. The perfect "on the go" game. The playgrounds mode is intuitive and grants you the ability to do SO MUCH stuff. It's incredible. $32 was a steal for me. I also ordered the physical from Limited Run.....MAYBE I will try for the collector's edition.... It is a bit of an eclectic collection.

[@Bee_Mavrick]

Too bad we can only get physicals from them.

[@ruthurban1959]

I wonder if you can help me please? If you’re playing in 3rd person can you invert x and y camera?

[@chelseap9970]

This review makes me want to buy it as much as the video did!

[@xcrack6364]

@@ruthurban1959 yes you can toggle the camera control for inverted if that’s what your prefer.

[@ruthurban1959]

@@xcrack6364 thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I’m nearly 70 and I’ve always played with both axis inverted. Now I’m on a pension I can’t afford to buy games that I won’t be able to play. I got caught the last time because you could invert y but not x so I really do appreciate your help 🙂

[@unitearica]

Gotta say, your guys reviews have been fair for any game you’re reviewing. TY for this review as I have been interested in it, but really wanted to see it running on the Switch first.

[@TheFrankm3]

This looks awesome. I re watched Honey I Struck the kids fairly recently. It holds up well, forgot how much of it contained practical effects. Hopefully this will take me back to my childhood.

[@gamegremlin6308]

I love the idea of being small and seeing everyday items looking so large, but to HECK WITH GIANT SPIDERS ;o;

[@packers12to80]

U can turn off spiders😂, they turn them into blocks I believe for those with arachnophobia 😂😂

[@mikeuk666]

Yeah you can adjust them to look like smiling blobs 😂

[@David-kb8vh]

I played this a few years ago on game pass and did not like it because it was in early alpha. I am very interested in revisiting this game after watching your video. Playing in hand held is also a big plus. Keep up the awesome videos

[@JaimeTheHood]

I am so proud of you guys! You deserve all the best, fr!

[@arbitrarynightjar2788]

I'm arachnophobic.... but I'm still gonna fight the giant spiders..... if I did it in Skyrim, I can definitely try it here. *shudders

[@_stoob]

Cross play is pretty cool.

[@PlayerPren]

Ooooh I’ve been waiting to hear what you guys think about it👍

[@SirEvilestDeath]

I never thought this would come to the Switch. It seemed like a perfect fit but Microsoft wanted to hold on to it for a while. I’m glad it retains its charm and playability on the Switch.

[@patrickkille1675]

Everyone I know who plays this loves it. Excited to have it on switch!

[@videogamechangers605]

I'm old enough to remember Honey, I Shurnk the Kids and this game looks like it hits that feeling for sure.

[@SpanglishBear]

This actually looks surprisingly good for the switch, sure it does looks like clay but a semi open sandbox in your hands sounds good, cant wait for the next gen of the switch!

[@ivancho5854]

Same. The next gen is soooo overdue.

[@DisguisedSheep12]

I've been thinking about getting this one for a bit. It looks so interesting! I always love survival ganes

[@CallsignDownload]

As someone who owns and plays Grounded on Steam Deck, I kinda just want it on Switch. Why do I want to play every game on the switch?!?! Also, grats on the sponsor friends, you guys deserve it, definitely the best Switch channel out there!

Bring on the honey I blew up the kid sequel, where we're giant insects trying to survive against the angry humans and we have to try and be passive and build our colony while getting attacked by tanks and old ladies with pepper spray.

[@FaluRedPanther]

You guys are the best reviewers for the switch.

[@chelseap9970]

I immediately texted my wife telling her about this game. Being able to change from 1st or 3rd person removes any motion sickness issues and I’m pretty stoked! This sounds awesome and it’s on my wishlist before the video even finished.

[@majorasecho]

Glad to see it running as well as it does on switch. This was a game i wanted to play for years on my xbox but never got around to it but i definitely will once that switch physical comes out!

I remember playing this before release on Xbox way back, wolf spiders were ridiculously loud in my headphones and the sound they made would turn you pale lol

Looks like a really fun game, playing out my childhood imagination, lying in the grass, in my hands. Funny, I saw this video drop last night, I’m sure it was titled “before you buy”

I have a funny feeling this is going to be one of the few games the FPS for others don't live up to the SwitchUp report... I was really hoping to find more Switch deep dive info on the game vs explaining what the game is for any platform, nevertheless thank you for the video.
