To navigate between these planets you will have to enter the Navigation Console on the ship (which I will quickly mention is able to be upgraded for more room).

This allows the player to feel as if they are actually traveling across the universe, and so that planets are never bland: each has their own, different feel. Each planet, spaceship, and random event is procedurally generated, meaning each area of the game is unique outside of the story-based areas (for example the outposts and mission areas). Starbound is a 2D, sandbox, survival, crafting game, with RPG elements and a massive open world it has an entire universe of smaller worlds making up that open-world setting. Gameplay: Now letвЂ™s get to what kind of game Starbound is. I would say the story is a fun ride but has some issues. The storyвЂ™s pacing was moderate, but felt slow in sections where you had to figure out where the artifacts were, as you had to locate planets with settlements for that specific race. Verdict: The story of Starbound is fun-I enjoyed exploring each of the cultures of the races from the game, my personal favorites have to be the Florans and the Glitch.

I decided personality-wise that my Norvac didnвЂ™t actually care about saving the universe. I found the bear hat randomly, put it on Norvac, and decided it looked great-it was really funny to imagine a scary robot with a cute bear hat. I chose Norvac, a Glitch who wore a suit of armor, a bear hat, and wielded a hammer. Players get to choose charactersвЂ™ appearances and вЂњpersonalitiesвЂќ(I did this myself) with the character creation menu to get more invested within the story. The main storyline from here is based around gathering artifacts from every major race (except the Novakid), with the end goal being destroying the Ruin (that tentacle monster from earlier). The player manages to escape to a ship and end up at a random star, later making it to the вЂњOutpostвЂќ and meeting Estera-a former leader of the Protectorate. The story of Starbound starts when the Protectorate-a group of people devoted to protecting the universe from threats-is attacked by some sort of evil tentacle monster that destroys Earth. Story: The story of Starbound is based in the future, where humans have traveled into the stars and met other alien races, which include: Humans, Apex (apes who evolved to be smarter than humans, but have fallen into a communist state with them following the word of the mythical вЂњBig ApeвЂќ), Avian (humanoid bird peoples who have a society similar to that of the Aztecs and Mayans), Floran (violent plant humanoids whoвЂ™s society is based on fighting), Hylotl (humanoid fish people who have a society based upon East Asia), Glitch (A group of robot peoples, who live in medieval society), and the playable yet irrelevant Novakid (cowboys who are gas-based). вЂќ IвЂ™m sure this will help everyone in remembering how these reviews work. This can be remembered by the acronym of вЂњ Sometimes Guys Make Gangs. I have integrated a new category for graphics, and I have moved the вЂњStoryвЂќ category to the front, with the new order of categories being вЂњStory,вЂќ вЂњGameplay,вЂќ вЂњMusic,вЂќ and вЂњGraphics,вЂќ or SGMG for short. How the review will work: This review will follow the previous reviewвЂ™s format, with some minor changes and revisions. After you finally extract the resources you need from that planet, you move on to the next-this is the basic gist of Starbound. In order to survive, you have to gather enough materials from said planet. Imagine youвЂ™re stuck in space, above a planet with little to no intelligent life.
