Sadly I can't recommend this game on it's current state. I bought it when it first came out on open beta and as a Terraria lover, Starbound showed a ton of potential.

Several years later and the game is still going nowhere. It's still nowhere near what Terraria has to offer at that point and over time Starbound just ceased to launch updates due to a console release, while Terraria kept being updated for much longer.

It's a shame to say that Terraria just outclasses Starbound in every regard, Starbound feels very empty, very game-y. Yes there are millions of planets, but they're all the same. Might as well just be a planet of each type and you won't even notice the difference.

Hoping they'll eventually keep updating the game, but after so many years my hopes are very thin. Which is a shame because it had tons of potential to be a bigger, better Terraria.
