Aground Zero

I really liked the game. It takes a completely different approach compared to the first one by going 3D, keeping some of the old mechanics but adding a ton of new ones. One thing I noticed right away is the dialogue—it shifted from the mature, serious tone of the original to something much funnier, especially when it comes to your personal AI. The progression is different too. In the first game, you started with a stone pickaxe and ended up with exotic drill. Here, you keep the same weapons but upgrade them to progress through the levels, which works surprisingly well. Story-wise, the way the dev connected this game to the first one is brilliant. It ties into both the beginning and the ending of the original Aground, and you find out some really surprising things because the story from the first game continues a little. (no spoilers!). Bonus points for the developer—I actually talked to him and he’s an awesome, super nice guy. Highly recommend! Of course, like any game, it has a few downsides. Compared to the first one, which had an insane amount of items, this one feels a bit lacking in variety. The maps are also on the smaller side, missing all those hidden areas and portals…

I've loved aground since it was a free game online. Aground 2 is a great follow on to the amazing world of aground. Collect resources and fight for survival, while building new worlds. There is so much to do and explore. I do miss the pixelated graphics of the first game, though.

Story, automation, factory, local coop, lit.

First Aground have depth of grand pit of endless souls, doomed to eternal suffering for mistakes of forefathers past Agorund zero have depth of piss puddle in borlänge public bathroom
