Lumberhill vs Starbound
Lumberhill
Lumberhill is a fun and hectic co-op game designed to test even the strongest of friendships. In this game, you have to complete as many tasks as possible within the time limit to earn points. Getting a sufficient number of points will get you stars and there are up to 3 stars to be earned. The game starts off innocently enough, with you chopping down trees and herding sheep, but eventually more challenges present themselves and the game starts to get a whole lot more difficult. In addition to having plenty of skins to unlock, the game comes with an online co-op and a PvP mode as well.All in all, Lumberhill is a pretty good co-op game that’s fun to play with friends and family. It has its flaws and cannot measure up to the formula that made Overcooked such a success – and so far, I daresay no co-op game that I’ve reviewed managed to get even close, bar Unrailed! – but it is reasonably priced, entertaining either in solo or co-op, and is perfect to play in bursts due to its level-based design.
Starbound
Starbound is amazingly fun 2D sandbox/exploration game that will put you in the shoes of a spacefarer and a captain of your very own spacecraft. As you travel through space, you will need to stop by planets to collect resources and perhaps even colonize them so you can also gather up a crew to man your ship. There are up to 7 races to play as, a story campaign where you are tasked to save the universe, and 3 different game modes ranging from Casual to Hardcore to either provide you with a fun relaxing experience or to put your survival skills to the test. You can even play the game cooperatively when you want. For modders, you can add in new races, biomes, dungeons, quests and anything else you'd like as well.Starbound can be turned into a pretty much an endless game due to its procedurally generated universe, where you can simply fly around in your spaceship looking for your next big adventure. Thus, you can definitely expect hours of gameplay at the very least for your first playthrough, making this game very well worth its price.
