Starbound Review

21 Comments

1. Yay! 9.1 on my favorite game! We need to get more people playing this…

2. PLAY STARBOUND AT STEAM.COM FOR $14.99. ONWARD, PROTECTORATE!

3. terraria 2

4. So Terraria has magic and Starbound has science

5. Times everything he said by 3x when you include atleast 50+ of the largest mods out there.

6. it's really beautiful game but for me terraria will be still best 2d game ever

7. Guys, StarBound and Terraria are no alike. They are both the great.

8. Mods just make the game much better

9. If you opted into casual mode, it disables item drop on death. Item drop on death in this game is very unnecessary and meant for only for those who want to sink in a tremendous amount of hours into this game.

10. Anyone knows the song from the background music here? :'( I really like it!!

11. Is this song on the soundtrack? Can't seem to find it!!

12. I played this game years ago and just had a blast exploring. I think I should get back into this because I'm sure a lot of things have changed.

13. IGN, if Starbound is really a 9.1, I hope you rated Terraria a straight 10.

14. been playing this since nobody ever heard of it and everyone was super hype about no man's sky and I was like "I already have starbound, why would I want no man's sky"

15. I'll buy when it's out on the switch

16. I was on the fence about this until I heard sentient robots stuck in a humorously medieval mindset.

    Thanks to Chippy Gaming's play-through and IGN for helping me make up my mind. Cheers!

17. I love this game, but you didn't really highlight a lot of its main faults, even now almost 2 years later. The combat is fairly stale if you go melee, the bosses, though scripted, are far less engaging than Terraria, there are only 3 builds to "experiment" with. These are minor issues in the grand scheme of things, as it really does most everything else almost perfectly, and the frackin universe mod really fixes a lot of my issues I had.

    However, no matter how good your PC is, even after beta, it has performance issues. The promised secure multiplayer servers never happened, so having a large world with large groups is impossible without disallowing mods. These are fairly large issues that is what I think prevented this game from gaining traction and surpassing Terraria in popularity.

18. thats why you have to start with casual mode

19. the main menu music is so… mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

20. It's 2018 and starbound is getting better and expanding by the day, if you still haven't checked it out now's a good time!

21. Anyone here from PBG Hardcore because they didn't know what it is lol
