Starbound boasts a beautiful soundtrack, engaging NPC's, and a real, bonified plot.

In a game genre that thrives on exploration and customizability, Starbound breaks the mold. All of its planets, weapons, and world are procedurally generated. What does "procedurally generated," mean? It means that every playthrough is unique, since everything is generated fresh and new. The backdrops are gorgeous, and the mining and ore-scavenging is very rewarding.

One planet may have a torture dungeon with gruesome experiments gone awry, another planet may have bustling settlements filled with traders vying for your pixels (the in-game currency). Yet another may have large monsters with their own agendas and ways to make you into a meal.

There are little gems that can be found by interacting with your environment and other citizens of the universe. One I like is an Avian whom will tell you, "We're up all night to get plucky." The game is filled with other pop-culture gems, and a good dose of humor. Starbound is still being worked on and polished, so if you buy now, expect crashes and bugs. Good thing the publisher, Chucklefish, enjoys working with its customers to help make a good game.

In the dead of space, the only thing you can count on is your ship and a little bit of luck.

In short, if you enjoy games like Terraria or Minecaft, this game is for you!
