"With the rise in Minecraft’s popularity, there have been a rising number of games that focus on open word exploration and crafting, with a focus on low-resolution ‘pixel’ graphics. Two such games that have been rising in popularity are Starbound and Terraria, both of which are 2D sandbox games that focus on similar concepts. Starbound, developed by Chucklefish Ltd, is based in a sci-fi universe, where players can take the role of one of several races as they fly their ship from planet to planet, seeking refuge from an unfortunate fate."
Unleash the full potential of Terraria with the best mods out there. From QOL improvements to new mechanics, this guide has you covered.
Terraria's next update will have a portion of itself dedicated to another indie crossover, with a host of items coming via Dead Cells.
Starbound a crafting and exploration adventure game developed and published by Chucklefish is now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.
Starbound is better in every way even though it's only a beta. More content, more weapons, more decorations, more enemy types, better combat, more worlds to explore, more variety, more...everything.
Terraria was good but Starbound has 100% replaced Terraria for me. I can't think of a single reason to go back and play Terraria now that I own Starbound.
