I remember when I was a kid watching ssundee play this and I wanted it so bad. I had no money so i tried to download a free version and gave my computer a virus. Years later i bought the legit version when I actually had money and the game was just as good as I thought it would be. 8/10

F'ing amazing even after all these years. There should have never been more games, only this one. If this game added water, more complicated mechanics, this game could have easily been the most popular game ever. 10/10

militairy legos are fun to play with. The quests get repetitive very quick though but there is plenty of other stuff to do anyway so its fine.

Critics, per Wikipedia
"TerraTech is Digital LEGO Technic With Guns" Reviewers compared the gameplay to playing with Lego bricks, which they considered exciting and invoking of childhood memories. User interface, controls, and the game AI, on the other hand, were less commended. The reviewer for AbsoluteXbox was particularly critical of unintuitive camera controls, clumsy driving performance, and frustrating combat in the Xbox version.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played it a long time ago and it was a buggy mess. Saw it was on the front page of steam and I have to admit I do not recall it being a very well liked game due to it being abandoned. So I am fairly surprised to see it suddenly have a 92% positive rating upon revisiting it. I swear I remember it having mixed reviews so I think there might be something sketchy going on since there hasn't been any big update to fix issues as far as I can tell. Either way I would not recommend the game, even on…

I played a few hundred hours, and eventually bought the game to keep up with the updates and support the developers. There are no more updates. The dev work has been moved to TerraTech Worlds and TerraTech Legion from what I can tell, and there will be no more updates for TerraTech given that Worlds was supposed to be a replacement. (THOUGH I don't own Worlds I have HEARD that it has even worse issues, due to some…

positive · AI labelView post →I really wish I could enjoy this game more, but there is so many flaws and problems with it. I played the demo probably almost over a decade ago now, it was charming back then and seeing it now it has had all that time to develop and cook and to be the best game it can be before it released in 2018 and I am playing it now in 2026. It is STILL not that great. Vehicle Creation and Anchor Creation is done in the dumbest way possible and it does not help that if you take too long building…

And i was ecstatic because i always wanted to play this game when i first saw it on SSundee's channel. And i enjoyed the nostalgic feeling it gave me. Its a wonderful game and hope that other people love it as much as I did.

neutral · AI labelView post →I remember playing this game when I was younger, it was the best vehicle-building game I've played. I like how progressing in this game looks, you discover new parts through leveling in every "corporation", different corporations give you different variants of parts, or even technologies. You can build your own vehicle or just download one from the workshop and assemble it if you got the parts for it. You can destroy enemy vehicles and attach their parts to yours instantly.

I love that you can do literally whatever you want (and fail miserably, lol). There's some absolutely insane things people have made. Even if you're just playing the game normally, it's still tons of fun being able to build. I love when games have the ability to be creative within them (it's rarer than you think). The crafting is done in a unique way, and I did…

neutral · AI labelView post →I would say that this is a game where the experience never really came together for me. The building is decently fun, but there are so many scuffed things going on that the actual gameplay suffers. Combat is weird because: a) The enemy AI is way to simple to actually be engaging, they just travel in a straight line while holding down the fire button, which causes one of the most consistent strategies to be getting them caught in terrain (which will also happen to you due to the way terrain is…

positive · AI labelView post →Game strengths vs weaknesses: Strengths: - Simplistic building system that makes it very easy to get into, and let's you create a variety of "Techs" - Fairly fun combat Weaknesses / Nitpicks: - Half of the game is doing radiant quests (The kind where you spend 5 minutes going somewhere, and then 2 minutes doing a short task, and then you get random loot) - The quest system in general is tedious and I feel like it gets in the way of the "Building yourself up from enemy scrap" loop…

All but abandoned for other projects, left half finished, and virtually unplayable after a certain point due to ridiculous amounts of enemy spawns after you reach a certain level of progression.

It's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a great concept for a game, and it is fun in a way. However, the different systems just don't work well together, and it makes the whole game feel like it has untapped potential. Some examples: - Quests give rewards, but there is a chance an enemy will spawn near it and destroy it before the player can collect it. - The player can not pick up items without placing a special structure. This includes quest rewards and any blocks removed while building a vehicle. - Power generators do not…
