starbound review

Starbound is a 2-d open world planetary exploration game that takes heavy influence from the game terraria. The player starts by choosing a race (Apex a bipedal ape like humanoid, Avian a bird like humanoid race, Floran a race of sentient plant beings, Glitch a robotic race created by an unknown race, human self explanatory, and Hylotl a sea creature race) and then see their character in a space ship with a small window explaining the back story of their character. After this they are given a mission to find fuel for their ship to get back to their home planet. The player is then beamed down to randomly generated planet filled with hostile and non hostile creatures, trees, numerous metals and ores to mine and assorted plant life. After some time and resource management the player can craft a distress beacon to call for help, unfortunately this only calls a ufo filled with penguin people who hunt you until you kill them or they kill you. After your encounter supplies to make fuel spawn and you can start your journey of interstellar travel and survival against the numerous monsters and befriend and team up with the friendlier creatures of the universe.

Borderlands 2 review

Borderlands 2 is the sequel to the massively popular loot fest borderlands. While borderlands was funny and had more guns than countable, borderlands 2 brings back all of that along with a great storyline that keeps all the laughs along with a few sad moments. Bl2 has been named lovingly by its fans "gun porn" due to the games massive amounts of guns making just as much a quest for the most powerful gun, shield, and class modifications.

there are 6 classes players and choose from (2 are dlc) Zer0 is an unknown creature (possibly robot) he specalizes in sniper rifles and melee attacks and his special ability allows him to make a decoy of himself to distract enemy's. Axton is a awol soldier from one of the gun manufacturers dahl, he uses assault rifles rocket launchers and his special ability is to deploy a turret to help in battle. Maya is a siren which is basically magic she uses smgs and elemental weapons and can use her powers to protect teammates or hurt enemies. Salvador is a short strong native pandorian (pandora is the planet the game takes place on) he uses all guns and his special ability is to dual wield weapons with added bonuses (infinite ammo etc). Gaige is a mechromancer who can summon a giant metal robot to her defense. Finally Krieg is a special psycho (an enemy from the game who performs better by taking damage and his special ability allows him to pull out his buzzsaw axe and slice up enemies with it.

The game is fairly simple to play but is hard to master each and every class. the story is very hefty and takes quite a long time to beat and gets even more fun when played with friends. After the main story is beaten there are 4 other add on campaigns each with great themes and great stories.

Borderlands 2 is a great game that holds up well and plays great
