Terraria

Great controls. Fun progression. Loads of interesting items. Best 2d game ever? Yes!

I have a lot of hours on this game, and I don't regret anything. The last updates have added visual effects that have re-awaken the spark in me. You will not regret this if you like survival/crafting/building games

Funny, I kept being recommended this game for years yet it never really grabbed my attention until one day - can't quite remember what changed, I think it was because I found out it was one of the 5 highest rated (by users, not reviewers) games of all times. This game got me hooked like .. can't remember any other (ex: starting 11h30 and only forcing myself to leave at 23h30 and realize I had forgotten to eat anything at all). The run-through and character buildup were absolutely majestic - as I increased in skill and equipment it started exploding in fun. The game ran absolutely flawlessly on Ubuntu Linux 22.04. I remember that the graphics were really poor at first but after some time it became second nature and I no longer noticed it. I also remember very well that the recipes were VERY frustrating - often playing the game was playing 2 games: Terraria + browse for recipes and how to get the ingredients. Very oddly, though - considering how much I enjoyed my 1st run-through, the maps being randomly generated and so many users reporting many 100s of hours played - I was expecting to have many glorious run-throughs, yet unfortunately that didn't happen. New run-thoughs didn't bring me enough new excitement (having Copper and Lead instead of Tin and Iron is meaningless) and the enjoyable slower and simpler early game was no longer appealing for someone who had gotten used to the more advanced style of late game. I wish I could go back and relive all that fantastic joy I lived in the 80h of my 1st run-through. Fingers crossed we'll have a new Terraria game or expansion.

Been playing for a few weeks now. I like the fact that you're free to explore the game however you like. Whether you just want to chill and farm resources and build or if you want to fight monsters/bosses, or a combination of the both. Great value for money, definitely recommend!

I was told about this game by an online friend & wasn't sure how I'd like it. Safe to say I am in love, to the point I've bought it on 3 different platforms. Easy to learn, difficult to master, this game has been the best money I have ever spent on a video game I think. It's had enough DLC to have easily earned a LOT more money, but the team at Re-Logic keep putting out new content because they love the game & they love their fans. They have remained humble & in contact with the community, allow & even encourage mods...they are genuinely doing all this as a "Labor of Love" which they titled 1 DLC that was supposed to be the final update (spoiler: it wasn't). I can't wait to see what they do next, but yes I can wait because I know it will easily be worth it.
