Starbound

Just one of the best craft and chill and explore games in PC history

Abandoned by the devs...its so sad, it had so much potential!

In my personal opinion, better than terraria, both amazing games, but this is just better in my opinion, I love it so so so much, very fun story, very fun mechanics, cool concept, fun to build

Heavily flawed gem. It plays like an alt evolution of Terraria with a No Man's Sky coat of paint. However, the base game is chronically unpolished, and lacks both quality of life and depth. The entirety of the game feels like an abandoned first draft. You can have fun with this game, but I HIGHLY recommend that you mod/workshop the OpenStarBound ver to make it more palatable and reduce the jank.

Great game, even without mods. Provides lots of fun and has two ending making it better so it could take minimal 25 hours to 100% the game but great experience. Try with mods, like Frackin' Univers or smaller mods like slightly painful Erchius mission, adds more difficulties, balance and fills up the rare gaps. 10/10 favorite game and easy to play multiplayer

oof, this one's a mess. hitboxes are totally off, like, how do you even miss that badly? the ui is just garbage, super clunky and ugly. story start is so dumb too, just really idiotic. and the character models? straight outta a cereal box, flat and lifeless. devs clearly just gave up on it, haven't seen any updates or anything to fix all this crap. it's just dead in the water. honestly, it just didn't grab me at all. really doesn't deserve all those "good" reviews it's somehow gotten. definitely skip this one.

Man I love this ♥♥♥♥ ass, ♥♥♥♥ ass game. It sucks. Multiplayer is so unreliable that this game can be considered psychological horror. The building, and crafting, is slow as hell, both modded and unmodded. The inventory system is terrible. The development process was terrible, look it up. Most of the mods are no longer being updated. But despite this, I still get this itch sometimes. To boot it up with my friend, and pray that our game doesn't crash.

Oh, Starbound... My relationship with this game is complicated. I remember when it was in early access and seemed full of potential. So many features seemed fascinating and interesting - some planets didn't have molten cores, but freezing temperatures. I don't know what happend. They removed several of the most promising features in favor of more bland exploration with less to do. All planets of a type feel the same, putting aside the occasional copypasted in settlement. Most quests are randomly generated filler with rewards that are rarely worth it. The main quest is now a fairly generic storyline. And overall, the game just doesn't feel finished. I've given this game a shot over and over again. I've played it through multiple times with friends. I've played it modded. And there IS stuff to love here. I love the distinct identities they gave to many of the races, there are some genuinely fun systems. But it ultimately all feels shallow. I simply cannot, in good conscience, recommend this game at this point because of that. If you decide that you want to give this game a shot despite all that, and see what it has to offer, I recommend the frackin universe mod. Find Svetlana's secret place and jam out to the music (or just look up "Starbound Svetlana" on Youtube, it's a remix of Secret of Mana's A Curious Tale), and crucially, play it with friends. More power to you if you decide to take this route.

terraria if it were in space and was worse

Terraria dev also keep breaking their promise too. They said "this is our last update" so many time but they keep updating and polishing the game. And nobody were mad at them idk why
