Starbound: Stellar adventures

Starbound

As I sit here in the captain’s chair of the Starship Shaunterprise, fresh from a daring expedition to a mutated jungle planet where I barely escaped from cannibalistic tribal plant-people during a search for a galaxy-saving artefact, I realised: I really should take a break from my epic space adventures to write about Starbound.

During the weeks I’ve spent in this 2D sandbox adventure/exploration/crafting game, I’ve managed to discover alien-Japanese cities hidden beneath the frozen seas of an ice planet; recover lost technologies from an abandoned mad science lab on a solar-scorched post-apocalyptic planet; and build my own thriving pioneer colony on a lush garden planet. All in this one gorgeous-looking PC/Mac/Linux game!
