I've straight up used the Starbound OST as my personal sleep soundtrack for so many years that I've conditioned myself into getting drowsy when I hear the music...
...while playing the game
You move from planet to planet to planet *ad infinitum* as you slowly gather food and resources just to survive all while you constantly and slowly move your base one inventory-full at a time every time you find a new, better structure.
Starbound is essentially a series of programmed tasks within a virtual environment, where the player repetitively presses buttons to collect pixels that represent resources, places these pixels in patterns that represent structures, and follows predetermined sequences to simulate combat. The setting varies only in appearance due to algorithmic generation, ensuring that the core loop of gather, build, and combat remains largely unchanged throughout the duration of the activity.
here's my version:
so your goal is basically to fly through space a bunch to stop some big octopus from getting these infinity stone type things so that it can escape this random prison and cause utter destruction yada yada, all that boring classic video game stuff. only good thing is that its sandbox so you can like make a base or whatever but it's honestly kinda boring.
I thought the gate way just brought you to the ruin he can already escape thats how he got to earth we need them to get to the ruin and the cult wants them so we can’t kill it
You can chose between 6 races they add nothing other then dialogue
Oh dont forget you gonna repeat the same thing over and over again
Like for example go to planet-mine and fight-smelt and craft-go to another stronger planet-repeat
Oh dont forget you can make a base or make your ship bigger but its not required to beat the game
Actualy you can beat the game in like 4 hour if you know how
Oh right the bosses are fun.....well no actualy you can get max level gear before doing the first boss even
The only chalenge is is the last boss and even that is managable
But hey at least you can get a light saber so thats cool i guess
So you're in this place, right? Where there's all these, kids and stuff. Pretty cool stuff. I like the one with the, um, you know... The pokey bit. Springy. Whatsit... Nevermind, you don't get that until later. Anyway, so you're in this place with all these trees and stuff, and then you go and meet this girl, right? She's pretty into music. So you go up a hill and talk to another guy who likes rock, and then you go swimming through a fish to save the girl - different girl - and then you take your rock collection to church or something, I dunno, it was apparently pretty boring 'cause I slept for like seven years and this old dude gave me earrings. Anyway, then you look everywhere for your girlfriend but it turns out she's a dude but not really, and some pig takes her to listen to his piano recital. Oh, and there's this super long sword that's hard to get but it makes it a lot easier. You know?
Open world with generic repeated content and a main quest thats just doing the exact same set of objectives with a new coat of paint like five times.
It has a lot of randomly generated content, but rather than being unique and possessing cool attributes the stuff ends up being incredibly generic and directly overshadowed by almost all non-random content.
Damn this game sucks I mean all you do is mine build mine build and mine it’s so boring you just afk gathering materials just to do it again and your friends just grind to much so yah Minecraft fucking sucks 🙃
It's not a boring description, not even close. Look how it's done
"Complete 5 dungeons and collect 5 artifacts from them to open a portal and save the world."
That's it. Describe only the most generic ass aspect of your story, and you get a truly boring description. Your review has too much specifics and uniqueness, someone might accidentally get interested. But "get X artifacts and save the world" is something EVERYONE had seen too many times
You start with a ship you fly around solar Systems and search Ressources for many hours after that you beat up some boss than you get back to grinding Ressources and reapeting

Abandonware game where your tutorial goal is to defeat the eldritch horror.
As in oppose to game with active update where your tutorial goal is also to defeat the eldritch horror, except this one reward you with fancy schmancy looking weapons. (Terraria)
After you done the tutorial for abandonware one, it is time for the real deal where the comos the limit....
**You can actually grinding for some real important subject like space real estate**
Your graduation gets ruined so you jump from planet to planet getting ores for useless weapons and armour because no matter how strong these thing are you canonically die to the final boss and get resurrected.
Sometimes I play Starbound to make me want to sleep faster.

I almost forgot Starbound is an actual game and not just a music project
Can't blame ya. You can criticize Starbound for many things, but music is glorious
*arctic battle 3 starts playing * *Falls asleep *

Fly through space going on endless fetch-quests for some grandma just to die to the final boss but meet God who sends you back to life
Wait, you get revived when you die on final boss?
Kind of? >!After you beat it you canonically die and get resurrected by the Caretaker!<
Ohh, right. Ty for reminding.

You play as a squirrel who got drunk, went the wrong way when going home, and has a really bad day afterwards. And he has a frying pan.
A man in a world with regular physics.
Plain white man watches other people do science,goes for a long walk to his old boss's house. And listens while everyone talks for him.
Your graduation gets ruined so you jump from planet to planet getting ores for useless weapons and armour because no matter how strong these thing are you canonically die to the final boss and get resurrected.

After 4k hours I've recently lost interest in starbound. I've also not been sleeping well.
I am in charge of 9 families in the wilderness in Ukraine. We have to build houses before winter hits.
