Timeless

Always will be my favorite of the series

game has been ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for like 4 years now

Fun, challenging, works great already and has enormous potential.

Buy it.

Pretty good. Enjoyed playing but after about 15 hours I think I've exhausted most content. Still, definitely has a lot of potential and a great mod scene.

Starbound has been through a lot in its years of development, and since launching in an Early Access state. The game has seen tireless and curiously persistent detractors, dedicated fanbase and mod enthusiasts, and regular old players constantly cycle through the process of complaining about lack of features, and then complaining once they have been put in. But today, Starbound has reached 1.0, where it is released to the masses as a full game. And it's a good one.

Pros:
+Colony building has come a LONG ways since the game's earliest versions, and you have reason and motivation to build big and build nice on a planet. Citizens have personality, give off quests, and can be controlled for by architecture style.
+Farming, hunting, and food in general feel much more viable in the game now. These mechanics bounced back and forth between overbearing and underwhelming, but now have meaning without being a burden.
+Combat is exciting, intuitive, and skill dependent. Plenty of room to build skill and be a dodge king, but also to stack gear for those of us less skilled. Additionally, there is great weapon variety and it feels exciting to loot new stuff.
+EXPLORATION. This is a big universe. 2D No Man's Sky. Incomprehensibly many stars, planets, monsters, weapons, everything due to refined and well-made procedural generation. This is honestly why I play the game, because there is ALWAYS something new to explore and a new dungeon to crawl.
+Story. See, Starbound didn't have a story once. Or, if it did, it was so bad nobody noticed it. Not so now. You're here to avenge the Earth, and characters and dialogue have been reworked so as to not be cancer be fitting for a full-release game.
+Building mechanics in this game are far and away the best I've yet seen. Terraria? Not even close. Minecraft? It's got 3D but a lot less potential for detail. You wanna build a castle the size of an entire planet? You build that castle. Wanna make a 3-mile-wide underground base full of scientists? Start digging. It's all possible.

So-So Points

+/- Multiplayer. Multiplayer has come a long way as well, and is serviceable now, but I don't think it's in a state which can be considered perfect. Maybe servers are under heavy load right now, but Steam-based servers aren't too great, and private hosting is still confusing.
+/- I feel like the tech system could use a bit more expanding. It just seems less imaginitive now than in the past (but also decidedly less OP). However, it still serves to augment your gameplay and combat, and is a welcome tool.

Bad Bits

- Some quests are poorly written or just plain boring. Too many fetch quests for my liking, not enough slaughter. This isn't all quests, and the story itself is quite good, but many of them are just not fun or even frustrating.
- Some parts of progression are still a bit unclear. One example is upgrading your Inventor's Table or whatever it's called. Some basic things, like making bread out of wheat, appear to need that upgrade, and that's not clearly laid out.


There's a lot more I could say about this game, but it just won't fit. This is by far the largest game I've ever played in terms of content and potential, and has been lovingly crafted by its devs.

tl;dr An excellent game, far exceeds its predecessors (Terraria ahem) and is much more fun and balanced now than at original Early Access launch. Game mechanics are top-tier, story has been well done, but some questing mechanics leave me uneasy.

8.5/10 overall, but honestly, with how much replayability and timesink potential exists, it can easily be a 9.5/10.

Absolutely excellent. Performance problems exist but aren't a huge deal. Definitely worth the asking price.

Very nice stressball. Price is a bit steep but is excellent at what it does.

An excellent game, difficult to the core, but satisfying as well. Lots of depth, and high enoyability at its price.
