Please advise

My best guess, having not played Starbound - but I have read about it.

FTL has at least if not more replayability.
Plus Alone in the Dark is pretty awesome.

I would get those and skip Starbound

you will have more play time with alone in the dark + ftl, but i might be biased because i didn't like starbound. :3

I love FTL and Starbound but i would have to say IMO FTL is better

I've played Starbound on a friend's PC, all I have to say is that it's absolutely amazing.

Starbound is a solid game, and a lot of fun - but FTL is a must-buy, It's easily the best of the 3 you mention.

FTL is pretty fun, you can't go wrong with choosing FTL + AitD over Starbound. :3

I would skip Starbound and get FTL and the other one. FTL is a solid game and high replay value.

I've followed Starbound since it was in that one humble bundle years ago and it's gotten progressively worse. The missions consist of go here, scan these items and return. Times that by 10 and that's the sum of it. It has a great sense of depth, but lacking in the execution of it.

FTL though is amazing. I need to go back and play it again. :D

FTL all the way

FTL!

Starbound, for sure.
