It's honestly hard to recommend Starbound to anyone that doesn't like Minecraft clones, but to be honest, I wouldn't even recommend it to those that even do...or at least, not now.

It's essencially a 3D Minecraft a.k.a. like Terraria but not really, but there's substantially less to actually do. Even after a few updates this game is lacking in what people go play those games for; and that's to have a significant goal that doesn't get old. Basically, there's not much to do in Starbound. Planets are randomly generated, so you can travel to them to find materials or treasures. But you can't really make anything besides weapons with them. No furniture or anything like that, which you have to find and steal from other places. There's a lot of weapons to loot, but why bother when every weapon you can craft is 3 times stronger most of the time? Digging deep doesn't reward you with much besides small amounts of money, which you can't even trade or buy decent weapons with. Not a lot of explenation or exploration, average graphics, boring landscapes, boring combat with not a lot of divercity...It's probably best to wait until Starbound has something a lot more to offer. Until then, stick with Terraria.

Child of Light is one of those games that seems to have gotten lost in the age of gaming where turn based RPGs aren't nearly as common anymore. You have things like Final Fantasy and all that, but Child of Light presents itself with such charm, wonder and indulgance.

It may not be a perfect RPG, but it's a unique looking and playing game in the genre, with enough customizing and battle choices that make it a great game to play that doesn't wear thin. There's a lot of strategy to the fights themselves, and learning how to dominate fights by knowing enemy weaknesses and knowing the limits and powers of your own characters is the game's strongest asset. The storybook theme the game has is charming and lightharted, and really makes the game stand out from others. It's pretty, it's challenging without being to hard, it's magical, and has some nice gameplay. This has to be one of the few RPGs I'd recommend to both RPG veterans and newcommers to the genre.

Not only does Ducktales: Remastered offer a brand new take on the classic NES game, it's filled with more challenge, more level design, and much more surprises and fun. Even if you haven't played the original, this is the definitive way to play it.
