Grounded starts off fun, the world is really charming and I really like the vibes and at the start, the survival mechanics aren't too tedious or boring. Once you hit the 1/2-2/3 point though, the game becomes intensely mind-numbing if you choose to play legitimately. I'm fairly certain they expect you to play co-op with three other people due to the amount of grinding and tedium that comes with later bugs if you don't fight them with specific gear. The game also has an issue in the latter half with requiring gear near the end of dungeons so if you didn't bring what you need, you gotta run all the way back to base and come back (this was especially frustrating with the upper yard, right at the end needing to bring a repair tool when my base is several minutes away). If you have friends, it's a decent experience but I would highly recommend staying away if you're planning to play solo unless you can tolerate tedious grinding and frustrating combat.
