Excellent game. Love the quests, crew system, and the music. I've played a lot of Terraria before, and while some mechanics are conceptually similar, I find Starbound to be a little less tedious especially when it comes to mining and crafting.

What I would like to see more of:

1) More inspired weapons: I wish there were more interesting weapons in the game. Terraria weapons are outrageous, while Starbound weapons are a bit dull to me. The setting is out-of-this-world and crazy, why not throw in crazier weapons into the mix.

2) More variation when it comes to level design/layout: Yes, maps are procedurally-generated, I know. But I do find myself going to planets that only have minute variations from other planets I have visited before. Dungeon layouts and some locations are often repeated too.

The above are just minor gripes of mine. Overall, I find the game to be extremely charming and engrossing. Definitely a must buy if you like exploration/mining games.
