Alright I've completed the game in storymode and I feel like I can give the game proper judgement:
Anyways I think I've covered all I've wanted to in this post.
So first off; the game has gotten much better than it originally was I'll say that much. When you upgrade crafting stations it actually feels like you earned it instead of the game going "lol here you go". I will say that they barely give any hint on how to get certain materials (looking at you silicon board) and I thought I had to fight robot monsters to get them.
Second: while I greatly appreciate the story missions; the scanning part is so ing annoying. I wasted at least 5k+ erichus to get to a Hylotl City where I had to scan the last of the pieces required for esther to tell me where the hylotl artifact is. Speaking of missions: Outpost feels really empty without the missions it had in Beta; I want to see some old Outpost missions return so that way there's still something to do after the storyline.That brings me to my third point: post-game is seriously lacking I feel. "But you can build and travel to other planets!" I hear you say, but what do you do when you're absolutely sick of that? I feel like there should be a saga of some sort after you defeat The Ruin. Actually wait I wanna cover the other part of storymode stuff. Cutscenes were good, until the last one. I feel like it tried to be epic/tragic and ended up not being that?
Finally: I love how they handled some crafting stuff. Organizing by tab was seriously the best thing that happened for me when crafting. Printing stuff no longer requires me to pick the item up and take it to the printer; instead I can inspect it and it's automatically added to the library.
All in all I feel like I have faith that Starbound will get better once they start doing content. For right now I say it's a 7/10.
