The two sides of a coin. A gigantic universe ready to be explored, somewhat unique to each and every player since it's procedurally generated by a complex algorithm. The planets and the experiences are all unique and you have the ability to name all your discoveries. That all seems positive within this playground of sci-fi exploration. The problem is that what's here now may not be enough to keep the mind busy. I can see why some people may feel bored after a few hours because repetition and grind seem very prevalent. There needs to be a balance between freedom and automation with direction and sculpting. The artist may give you freedom to choose your adventure but when you leave everything to chance without sculpting set pieces and intrigue, the player may feel underwhelmed and begin to question the reason to even play. I'm having a good time now but soon I may start to question myself as well. If Hello Games keeps adding more and more stuff to do and experience as time goes by, this is easily a great purchase, but as it stands now, the game may not be for everyone. Check out reviews and videos and decide if this is a purchase for you. Take me out to the black, I ain't coming back. Score: 8/10

A 2D-Style Terraria or Minecraft clone where you are a lone survivor and must travel via ship to different planets in search of treasure and a place to call home. The crafting is handled well with an infinity assortment of items to create and explore. It's a great time waster especially with a group of friends to compliment the longest journey. Score: 8/10
A great diablo-esque game in which you create a character and fight your way through the story solo or with friends while murdering hundreds of creatures in this fun-filled fantasy title. It's addicting and fun to run it a couple of times, never gets old. Recommended. Score: 8/10
Free to play minecraft clone with some heart, the premise is almost the same and the mechanics stick closely to the original source material as you try to survive day and night while crafting and become stronger. If you got some extra time on your hands, check it out for a good time. Score: 7/10
Great multiplayer focused first person shooter in the sense of Borderlands. Battle in a group and focus on the campaign or go head to head in multiplayer and battle for domination. It's a fun size bit game with lots of un-lockables but currently the population is dwindling down so think before you buy. Score: 7/10
A heart-pounding over the top action-adventure style game that reminds me a lot of old school Diablo. Play with friends online or take it on local co-op. The pace is frantic and the enemies keep on coming. A great edition to any library. Score: 8/10
An engrossing and rich dark-souls type game that blends in 2D-Action platforming with an engrossing but albeit-shallow story that tests your patience and fortitude. Highly recommended Score- 9/10
