The multiplayer aspects of this title are what really set it apart from other sandbox, building titles. However, in choosing the single player life it's worth noting that you will really be missing out on some of the best bits that Boundless has to offer. In this way the game is very much like Minecraft. Player built items and buildings can be protected keeping griefing to a minimum and with plethora of procedurally generated worlds to choose from it is entirely possible to go days without interacting with others. In regards to playing the way you would like, interestingly it is very easy to treat this title like a single player experience, carving out a little corner of a world and calling it your own. This type of experience harkins back to the early days in Minecraft where exploration and discovery were king and satisfaction came through long hours of figuring things out.Īs a player you do have the choice as to whether to start on a gentle or harsh planet which in turn really allows people the opportunity to play the way they want. In fact outside of the basic “this is a hammer, go smash’ type tool tips that accompany most starting areas I really was left to my own devices. The title doesn’t do too much hand holding but instead opts to allow you the freedom to discover. The environment is completely destructible with the collection of resources allowing you to craft everything needed to start your new life on the planet you have chosen. Once dropped off at your new ‘base’ of operations it is up to you to explore, create and break the world around you as you see fit. Upon starting the game for the first time you will be tasked with running through a basic character creator and then choosing where you would like to start your adventure, with the literal sky being the limit as to starting locations. Boundless is set in a unique universe where planets are connected via portals.
