It is entirely irrational that I can see a hundred largely identical online shooters and not blink, but see a single game cover similar ground to something unique can make me go, “Oh, it’s a Grounded knock-off”.
It’s also extremely unfair on Smalland Colon Survive The Wilds, a lovely survival game about being a teeny tiny person in the wilderness, where bottlecaps serve as tabletops and beetles are a deadly threat. It is absolutely comparable to Obsidian’s garden adventure, but a peer rather than a pretender. I even prefer it in some ways, but they have such a different vibe that there’s plenty of room for both.
