Starbound finally made its way over to Xbox and chucklefish was kind enough to toss me a copy to check out which as you all know I always appreciate it.
Starbound starts out on what should be the best day of your character’s life. Graduating from a program that will allow your character to travel the galaxy helps your people survive. Just then, an alien force invaded your world and wiped the place out and you barely escaped with your life.
You and your trust pet make it off the world just in time for your ship to break over a randomly generated world for you to explore. From there you can do pretty much whatever you want.
Build up a small home, improve your gear, fix your ship up and explore the galaxy even more. Anyone familiar with Terraria knows how the game is played.
The game is quite nice to look at and it sounds even better. The sounds are great to listen to as you tinker with little things in your base or as you dog around trying to find something new to build.
My only real complaint is the controls aren’t great. Don’t get me wrong they aren’t bad, they are functional but not much more than that. Mouse and keyboard would probably function much better. Don’t let this discourage you from picking up this excellent title. It is a solid 7/10 and worth the $15 price point. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
