ThereвЂ™s a point where it tells you that you are getting RADs from somewhere and as you get closer to the boss of the area, it screams out something like вЂњyouвЂ™re 98x the level of RAD.вЂќ Is that supposed to be a joke? Because itвЂ™s not well set up and not very funny. I like the idea of S.A.I.L but in practice, he seems remarkably unhelpful. Everyone dies, and you get your matter manipulator and have to flee the planet.ДЇrom there you are rescued by an AI called вЂњS.A.I.L.вЂќ which stands for Ship-based Artificial Intelligence Lattice, Basically, itвЂ™s your AI buddy that will tell you what to do when no one else is available in the game. As itвЂ™s a graduation day in a game, you might be able to guess it goes poorly. Instead, the game immediately jumps to graduation day. Honestly, I feel like the story misses an important step here, and doesnвЂ™t give the player a chance to earn the matter manipulator, or does something like Fallout where you go through minor tasks as part of a tutorial. YouвЂ™re joining The Protectorate and are about to earn the matter manipulator. So with all of that out of the way, letвЂ™s look at the story. The graphics are beautiful when they are predesigned structures The Glitches own a piggy, and itвЂ™s easily my favorite special pet. ThereвЂ™s also a special racial pet that stays on your ship. It is also interesting to see the level designs when you find an outpost of a specific race. ItвЂ™s an odd twist and while I donвЂ™t know exactly why the strange racial armor looks the way it does, I do have to admit it is interesting to see the outfits and costumes. Novakid might be Gasbags on some level, but their society is based on the Wild West. Whereas Glitches are Robots, their armor is based on Medieval Knights, and their architecture is as well. In fact, the racial armor is a bit interesting. Even the clothes the character wears can be changed, as well as having вЂњracial armorвЂќ that only one race can build. The look of the characters are different and there are lots of customizations in the game for you to play with. I personally played a Glitch which is their robot race and a Novakid which is supposed to be a gaseous character in some way. Starbound has 7 playable races, each with a different style and look. In fact, I rather like the similar style because the style allows the developer to enhance the differences in the game a bit more. ThatвЂ™s not surprising when you think about the fact that Tiy was a sprite artist and clearly brought that style with him to Starbound. With that said, itвЂ™s simple to say graphically Starbound has a lot in common with Terraria. So letвЂ™s begin.ДЇrom my opening, you might guess IвЂ™m a Terraria fan, and I am, IвЂ™ve put in over 50 hours into the game, and still enjoy it. Currently, itвЂ™s in the 1.3 release which is their spacefaring release which focuses on giving the player more to do in space. Time passed and I got Starbound in the Humble Care Package and here I am again to see how itвЂ™s grown. I liked the look of the game, but the fact was much of the claimed major features for launch were still in the unstable branch that I wasnвЂ™t aware of, and with no guide or information, I refunded the game within a week to avoid losing the opportunity as I was unsure what was going on. Achievements had been added and I wanted to see the state of the game. I bought the game in July of 2017 and saw the game in late early access. It definitely peaked my interest.ДЇor the record, this is not my first time playing StarBound. In addition, Starbound was moved from a single planet to a sci-fi outer space adventure that allowed players to travel to different worlds. But the focus of Starbound seemed to be developing more quests and story than Terraria ever had. So when Tiy, the sprite artists, left Terraria and worked on a new game eventually called Starbound I took notice as did many others. Overall, Terraria was an impressive game. Rather than going for a straight clone of Minecraft, Terraria moved to a 2D adventure game, that had a wealth of combat, and bosses as well as a more meaningful progression than Minecraft. Terraria was a smash hit selling ten million units and still growing, and not only showing that Re-Logic was a force to be reckoned with but it also showed that Minecraft did not have to be the only building game. Currently Also Available on Linux and macOS.
