good game

I first got a copy of starbound a while back, and it had alot of potential in it's beta stage. Couple months ago, the 1.0 update released for starbound so I decided to give it another play and I have to say, the guys over at Chucklefish Games blew my mind. They managed to add so much more into the game, making the entire experience just that much better.
The story itself isn’t the most complex or mind-blowing, but the universe that the developers built to tell it in is overflowing with character and detail. Each of the six sentient races has a unique culture, architectural style, and ongoing conflict that must be resolved in order to save the galaxy.
Yet they weren’t vain enough to force us into it, so all of that story is optional. There’s nothing to stop you from going off and setting your own exploration or building goals in traditional Minecraft or Terraria fashion.
Overall, Starbound excels as an exploration and crafting game, as a 2D platformer with varied and engaging combat. It can feel overwhelmingly time consuming and punishing in the first few hours, but the freedom to uncover these small secrets of the universe and make its worlds your own is worth the wait, and the expert fashion in which Starbound binds all of its sides together makes it truly special.

TF2 was what got me into PC gaming and although I don't play it much now and have moved onto other fps games, TF2 will always have a special place in my heart. Still one of the best games I have ever played, and I don't think I'll be able to replicate the memories I have made in this game in any other game.
