On the surface, Starbound seems like Terraria in space, but this side-scrolling platformer is more adventure game than action sandbox.

After a while in Early Access, Starbound is finally landing on PC, Mac, and Linux very soon.

Hopefully those worlds will have enough to see to prevent the game from burning out like a comet and instead keep No Man's Sky's star burning bright.
