Terraria

This game is infinitely replayable, tons of content, and is the game I have the most hours on (1.3k and counting). There are few games that match up in terms of value, get this game, it simply cannot be compared to 99% of games in terms of that.

I picked this game up over 6 years ago, and have been enjoying it since, it's been a fun and addicting title, that i've played from single to multi to even hosting a server for some time.

Terraria is by design half platformer, half Minecraft-style building sandbox. It pulls both of them off quite well. Gameplay is very Metroid-esque; you start with melee weapons but grow out of them quickly. There's lots of stuff to mine and build, and enemies offer a good range of tactics and difficulty. Multiplayer is handled well, especially if you're looking for a 'soft' game for friends and relatives. It should be noted, though, that the building side does suffer a bit as you reach the later stages of the game. There isn't a whole lot in the way of automata or advanced construction opportunities, so your epic fort building project may turn out feeling a little bit empty. Dwarf Fortress it ain't, for better and for worse. There's also some awkwardness with goblin invasions and hardmode mobs that pushes you toward a small number of layouts. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes games, old or new.

Ich habe jetzt ca. 250 Stunden Terraria gespielt und alles im Singleplayer Modus gespielt. Terraria hat mich bis zu letzt gefesselt, nur der Neuanfang nach so langer Spielzeit fällt mir schwer. Klasse Spiel, wahnsinnig viele Items und Craftmöglichkeiten. Ich habe inzwischen schon 4 Lizenzen gekauft und verschenkt und konnte auch alle 4 Freunde mit der Terrariasucht infizieren ;) Schade beim Multiplayer, dass alle so paranoid sind und einen nicht in die eigene Welt lassen. Wäre toll mal mit anderen zusammen zu spielen.

This game is basically a 2D side scroller except that you can destroy and rebuild pretty much any terrain. You start out bare, but you can quickly build some shelter to hide from the enemies that lurk around you. Later on you can adventure underground to mine for all kinds of rare ores to use for crafting. You can craft armor, weapons, magic items, misc items, furniture, building blocks and even boss summoning items. From time to time you will meet with a boss that has decided to attack you or you stumbled into its territory. It might present a challenge to new users, but if you've got good armor and weapons it's no problem. Build your house and later on a village to invite NPC's to come and live alongside, and many NPC's offer some benefits i.e. a store to buy new stuff. Craft awesome weapons and armor and defeat the final boss, if you can :) Finally there's also multiplayer mode available. A very much worth game to buy. One thing that bothers me though is that most enemies are automatically in aggro mode and attack you even before you come close to them.
