Starbound
Developer: Chucklefish Games
Platforms: PC, XBO, PS4, PSV
Starbound takes place in the future where players start off the game fleeing their homeworld. As their shuttle shoots off into the deep space our protagonist finds himself landing on a habitable planet where the players adventure truly begins. Though the game does feature quests and story driven missions, players are free to explore and collect resources. However, besides the story missions, developers have started that players can choose their own path within Starbound such as farming to sell crops to building and managing places for rent for the various traveling NPCs.
There’s a total of seven playable races to go through the game as, each of which will have their own reasons in fleeing their homeworld along with their different beliefs and background information. Starbound released on December 4, 2013, as Steam Early Access title though it’s unclear just when we’ll see the game make its way to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.
