Jack gets to go on and on about Terraria for a second week in a row now. However, it’s only because he’s talking about Starbound and how the two compare.
ESTNN says: "If you're looking to get your fix outside of Mojang's popular sandbox, these games are some of the best the genre has to offer."
Let's take a step back into the good old days when Wi-Fi and data were nothing to worry about and look at the very Best Offline iPhone Games.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of August. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
This is not what I would call value for money spent. They give you quests in liveservice games to get you "re-engaged" with the monetization schemes or to get you hooked or so you at least spend some extra on skins and loot boxes. Then they dole out paltry points after you have already paid extra for whichever liveservice within a liveservice that you are already paying for. My worry is people can't actually be that stupid to fall for this, can they?
Pretty much completely agree with this article.
Basically get Terraria if you want to play this kind of game right now, eventually get Starbound as it has more potential in the long run.
It is kind of unfair to compare the two games right now since Terraria has been out and completed for a while. Starbound is still in the early days of beta.
