Starbound – The super big planetary sandbox game!

Starbound. Currently in Beta stage is one of the biggest sandbox games out there. Might not be the biggest, but has enormous amount of planets and galaxies to explore.

Starbound is a adventure sandbox game like Minecraft but takes place in space and planets. The game itself looks a little bit like Terraria.

Starbound main menu. Planets Yay!

The map revolves around a big universe which has hundrets and hundrets of planets that you can explore. While exploring you need to gather materials for your spaceship, fuel for example, and for making better equipment. In the beginning you need to do the “tutorial” quests. After that you start to get the hang of it. While having a massive map and many many many planet, enemies, weapons and so on. The game doesn’t take much power from your computer. UNLESS you get to a place where there is a huge amount of sand which of course has physics. Computer killer.

In the game you can choose from seven different races. Human, Avian, Apex, Floran, Hylotl, Glitch and Novakid. Each race has their own starting weapon and different racial armors.

Your very own spaceship!
How cool is that?

Weapons in the game are very well designed and you can have either a melee weapons or a ranged weapon. Melee weapons are knives, swords, dagger, greatswords, hammers and spears, you can also have shields! Ranged weapons are bows, crossbows and guns. There are many types of guns from revolvers to laser rifles. It’s all yours to use! Or find!

Main goal in the game is to complete your quests and gather the best possible armors and weapons. The game just got an update and it looks to be better than ever.

I recommend this to sandbox game lovers and Terraria lover. Worth every penny!
