Terraria

A massively fun game. You have no main goal, but killing all of the bosses seems like the most realistic one. And, oh my, does this game have a lot of memorable ones. For the sake of not spoiling anything, I won't say any of them, but most of them are completely unique, and even those that aren't, still have at least something new and fresh to bring. But one of the major gripes I have with the game, is how much the progression gets tied to the bosses, especially in Hardmode. A few other activities would've been greatly appreciated. Terraria does something I haven't seen a game do, and that is the prospect of characters and worlds being two different things. What I mean by that, is that when you create a world, any of your characters can visit it. Yes, this does mean your high-levelled character can give your three-minute-old one an absolutely over-powered sword, but seeming as the player has already acquired the item, it does little to no harm. The items are all incredibly unique, and I was acquiring them by the bushel, items such as the Umbrella, or the Money Through. There is usually a wacky event happening for you to partake in. Another major part of the game is house-building. While making a house early-game is quite a fun task, later it becomes laborious work, and houses that fit the criteria always have a chance to not work at all. Graphically, the game looks great. Every locale, NPC and block is well-made, and I enjoy the simplistic style. The music in the game is also a high note, no pun intended. From the main theme, to the ominous one of the Corruption, each track fits where you are well, and they transition oh-so perfectly. Mods are another giant factor of Terraria and there's no shortage of them. Small, yet almost compulsory ones, such as the Boss Checklist are just as great as massive, content-rich expansions that mods like Thorium give you. Co-op is just as you'd think it'd be, and it is quite enjoyable. Overall, Terraria is a very enjoyable game. Except for the second half not being as enjoyable as the first, and a couple other redundant features that I dislike, the game is a flawless 2D action-adventure game, with heavy RPG elements.

I thought Terraria was just 2D Minecraft. I was WRONG. Within 5 minutes, a slime jumped on my head, a zombie kicked down my wooden door, and a disembodied eye came flying out of the night sky to beat me up like it owed me lunch money.

The game said, "Survive the night." I built a dirt box. The game said, "Good luck." A giant worm tunneled up from hell and said, "Nice house, shame if something happened to it."

Tried mining? Accidentally fell into a cave the size of Texas and got mobbed by skeletons with better gear than me. Tried fighting back? My sword is basically a butter knife.

The guide NPC just stands there smiling while I'm being murdered. He's definitely in on it.

Built a village for some NPCs, finally felt safe... until a blood moon started and zombies stormed the place like it was Black Friday at Walmart.

TL;DR: Terraria gave me trust issues, made me fear the moon, and taught me the ground is a lie. 10/10 would uninstall in terror again.

Terraria is a great game with one goal in mind and a bunch of other things to do. All I can say is that everything that you do is optional and if you want to beat it quickly - you can - but if you want to savor the experience, which I recommend, there is just so much to offer from building, exploring, fighting, collecting, it's all there.

The controls are challenging at first if you have never played it before, it was all over the place (I played it on console) so what I did was adjust it which made it easier.

Also, the weapons that you get in this game are incomparable to any other weapons in any sandbox game. You start with an incompetent and in the end, end up with a weapon that's well worth your time.

Most of Terraria is generally choice. You can literally do anything you want. And that is why I recommend it for anyone who has got a chance

Terraria is a 2D game released in 2011. A lot of people who haven't even played the game call it a ripoff of minecraft, but as someone who actually experienced the game, I can officially say that it's much more than that.

For starters, Terraria has a lot of depth. There are many different ways to play the game, and lots of content in general. Hundreds of creative weapons, cute pets,. And awesome accessories keep you hooked as you try to collect them all.

You can make yourself as overpowered as you want in the endgame, but you start with almost nothing. It's fun to make progress in the game, slowly making yourself more powerful.

This game also has many, MANY pop culture references. You can fight a ninja slime with a bow that shoots flaming bats while wearing a creeper costume and riding a goat from hell!

If that doesn't sound fun, I don't know what is.

And finally, the game has a MASSIVE and very active community. Every day new videos, fanart, and mods are pumped out at alarming speeds.

Ah yes, the mods. There's tons of them!

The game already has lots of content, but the mods sometimes make terraria into an even better game than it was before. New bosses, mechanics, OP weapons, what's not to love?

Anyone saying this is less than 10 do not understand how video games should be rated. You do not compare a 2D game to skyrim ffs. This game in it's own genre and general style is 10/10. Music is 10/10. Gameplay is 10/10. Craphics are beyond beautiful for a 2D game. Comparing it to minecraft is insane because the only thing they are exactly similar in is the fact that blocks can be placed and removed. Terraria was in the works at the same time as minecraft. So you do not get to say it is a copy either. Minecraft is a basically just a 2D pixel game in 3D first person if that makes sense so maybe that is why people keep comparing them the way they do but whatever.
