Starbound vs Terraria

[Youtube: BoyDilly]

Give me sereous detailed reasons why one game is better than another one. Which game is more replayble? Which game has better exploration and bosses? Which game has better music and community? Which game has better mods? Which game is better in its vanilla form?

Depends on what you want out of the game. Starbound is a galaxy wide sandbox game with a giant modding community. While the vanilla game is... playable and fun the first time around, it hasnt much replayability. On a modded perspective starbound can be replayed almost indefinetly. While you will run out of stuff to do, it can take you up to 200 hours, depending on how you play. Because of its story and custumization Starbound has a really good roleplaying aspect too, if youre into that. With friends its even better. I cant say much about the community, since I rarely do anything in it. Music is good, and bosses are neat too, though kinda basic.

Terraria is more of an... Sandbox RPG. Its a very... straight forward progression, having to kill most bosses in a specific order to get deeper in to the game. While you do have some wiggle room, playthroughs are very similar to eachother. The bosses are what makes Terraria terraria, they are and kinda have to be better, because the game works fundamentally different. In Starbound the story is pretty much optional, except the first couple missions, in terraria, while not having a "story", is very linear. You gather resources, get yourself some gear and weapons, explore your procedual world, search for treasue and go about the game killing boss after boss. Terraria in its vanilla form is far better than starbound, and nobody can deny that. Terrarias modding community, while smaller, offers a lot of mods to spice up the game. Music is great, exploration is better too ( in vanilla).

If you are more into sandbox, builing villages, cities having a spaceship and exploring the cosmos, take Starbound. but be prepared to add 50+ mods into it, if you do decide to replay it. Especially the Frackin Universe mod makes the game 200% better.

If you like progressing in a more linear fashing, gathering resources, crafting armor and weaopns, exploring deep and rich caverns and biomes to find, summon and kill all of its 12+ bosses, take Terraria. Terraria doesn't have much of a post game tho, so after the last boss is dead,... well there is nothing much to do. A mod you should play, if the main game isnt enough for you (and you already beat it in vanilla) , is called Calamity, adding even more bosses and biomes to the game.

Or buy both, both are great games tbh.

A little tip for next time, dont be so... demanding(?) or rude in your comment. While I did what you asked... you could have asked nicer :P

I haven't played Starbound for that long yet, but I like the artwork in Terraria more. Gameplay I don't know yet, because 10h of Starbound is not enough to come to a conclusion. I do have 1 big gripe with Starbound very early on... and that is the lack of ground map and a mini map.
