I've been playing it non-stop, and I enjoy it. I got this game during the sale, as it seemed close to terraria, and some of my friends strongly suggested getting it. I recently re-installed on a whim and so far, everything is magically much smoother! I'm sure the experience is different for different people on their respective machines, but if I was to be the sole judge I would think that the devs had spent some time optimizing their code. :D And what ties it all together is a very well thought out UI (except for the lack of item stacking, my God) that allows you to jump right in and keep rolling.Īs for unoptimized.for a while I would have agreed with you, so much so that I uninstalled the game in annoyance some time ago. If you want, you can go crazy: train systems, mechs, space stations, and ridiculous vanity items galore. There are not gazillions of items in the base game, but of what there is, the minority is weapons and armor. Where Starbound really shines is the crafting, in my opinion. However, the graphics and especially the music help to keep things engaging. This is indeed dull after a while, mechanically. The campaign is relatively short, with a tight gameplay loop: scan for racial artifacts, defeat boss of racial dungeon.
