Elite Dangerous vs Starbound
Elite Dangerous
Elite Dangerous is a MMO space simulation game that not only offers players a ton of customizatable spaceships of all shapes and sizes; it also provides players with a massive open world galaxy to explore and have adventures in. In this game, you'll need to do whatever it takes to improve your rank among the Elites and there are multiple ways to do so - you can literally craft your own legacy. You can take the easy-way out and become a space smuggler, a space pirate, or a bounty hunter, or you can opt to earn a honest living by being a trader or a miner. The galaxy in this game is very much alive and will change based on your actions and decisions... as well as the actions and decisions of all the other players playing in the same galaxy as you do.Unknown to many, Elite Dangerous is actually the third sequel to the popular 1984's genre-defining Elite game farnchise. This polished and drastically upgraded version will definitely be able to appeal to a whole new generation of space sim fans. If you happen to be one of them, you'll want to check this game out!
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.
