Terraria ( tə-RAIR-ee-ə) is a 2011 action-adventure video game developed and published by Re-Logic. As a sandbox game, Terraria has no set goals. After creating the player character and choosing the game's difficulty, the player is placed in a two-dimensional, procedurally generated world where they explore, fight enemies, gather resources, and craft equipment. Players beat bosses, a tougher variety of enemies, to… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

From watching friends, it seems like it's more fun when you know a lot about the game, but that hurdle is pretty difficult for me to overcome.

Every time I play it, I feel like I'm home. No other sandbox game has ever kept me coming back whenever I want to relax. Relogic is one of the few development studio teams that I genuinely trust above all else. And now, officially after 1.4.5 has come out, I'm willing to say I'll never go back to Minecraft or Starbound ever again. Thank you Relogic, thank you Andrew, and thank you community. <3

Terraria is one of those games where the price doesn't match the amount of content! For little money, you get hundreds, and I'm not afraid to say, for some people, thousands of hours of gameplay, a constant sense of progress, and a huge number of items, bosses, and fun. The game is addictive, so go for it!

The Best $10 You Will Ever Spend Terraria is, without a doubt, the best value for money in gaming history. Whether you pick it up at full price for $10 or catch it on sale for $5, the sheer amount of content you get is staggering. It’s also become a running joke in the community that the developers have "abandoned" the game—they have announced the "final update" about five times now, yet the updates just keep …

If you think this is just a 2D minecraft, prepare to be surprised. Yes, it's a 2D voxel game. It's also a Lovecraftian bullet hell RPG crafting platformer.

Back then I couldn’t even afford the mobile version, but I still played it with crack version on android and enjoyed every moment. It was honestly one of the best games of my childhood.

I was completely lost, had no idea what I was supposed to do, and instead of learning, I just kind of bounced off it and never gave it a real chance. It felt overwhelming and confusing, so I dropped it. Fast forward to one random day when my girl said she wanted to play a game together. All she had was a laptop, and Terraria popped back into my head. We decided to give it another shot, and wow, was that a mistake in the best way possible. From…

Other things worth mentioning: Officially endorsed mod support released as a free dlc. Hoiks kept as a feature rather than patched. Adding an item to restore removed movement techniques. $100k donations to open-source game engines.

I was gifted this game in 2013 by a friend of mine, a friend who expected me to have as many hours of enjoyment with it as he did back then. And while I haven't even come close to the amount of playtime he had even back then (if I recall correctly, he was at around 4000 hours already), I still had a lot of fun with this game. I'm writing this review now, after over 10 years having the game, since I've finally, properly finished it. And yes,…

neutral · AI labelView post →terraria, oh where do i even start... At first glance, Terraria looks like “2D Minecraft,” but that comparison honestly doesn’t do it justice.

The progression system is insanely satisfying because every boss unlocks new materials, stronger gear, harder enemies, and completely…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The progression and sheer amount of things to do in this game is INCREDIBLE... granted there is a bit of a learning curve early game, but once you get the hang of it you'll be entertained for HOURS. HIGHLY recommend!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game that you'll want to replay a dozen times. There's also a large mods ecosystem to explore (tModLoader) once you're satisfied with the vanilla content. There's a clearer sense of progression and larger focus on combat compared to Minecraft. The game can be very linear if you choose for it to be, but there's a ton of optional content at every point of the game. The game is very large and doesn't have a tutorial, so expect to consult the wiki frequently during your first playthroughs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't mind my hours, but this MIGHT be a good game. Except the fishing quest achievements, and legendary seed, playing those is reminiscent of the feeling of getting your skin torn off, just for hand sanitizer to poured on the flesh. Other than that, the games pretty good.
