Terraria

Minecraft 2D, with extreme replaytability.

If you're not obsessed with graphics, and enjoy sandbox games, you'll probably like this. If you're a bit OCD, you'll probably be unable to stop playing. The combination of combat, crafting, and exploring is phenomenal. Every time I think I've done everything, I realize I've only scratched the surface. Since I first bought the game, it has had multiple rounds of massive, free content additions, and there's so much in the game now, it's hard to keep up with everything. This will satisfy your urge to explore and just noddle around and build stuff. The boss fights are pretty epic as well. I've been playing this game on and off for more than a decade now, and I still enjoy it. There have been tons of big content updates over the years to keep it fresh and exciting, and the crafting system and other mechanics have improved as well. I'll put it this way: this is my most played-game in a library of more than 800, with nearly 2000 hours played now. It's totally worth it at full price. On sale, it's a no-brainer. Only negative, which is minor, is that I think the game has gotten almost too complex and bloated with content in the decade+ since it came out. But that's manageable, and exploring, building, and battling are all still fun.

I absolutely adore this game. My only gripe is that I can only get the default screen resolution of 800x600 to work on my laptop with HD4000 graphics. (no widescreen). Perhaps this is an issue with the 1.3 update as it was working perfectly before..

I really love this game! this game is really fun to play I'm am so happy I got to play this game. :D

I have 530 hours on steam and came here to get the DRM-free version. Terraria is just one of those games that needs to be in your library, no matter what style or genre of game you like. At times it can be very relaxing, whereas other times it is very unforgiving. The graphics are very nice and fluid for a game made of pixels, and you can tell that Terraria has a style that is unlike anything else. It has a very alluring soundtrack to go along with it aswell, which always fits with where and what you are doing. You will be spending countless hours on this game; it's really hard to put down. Not to mention, every play through is different. Be prepared to look through the terraria wikia as getting stuck is easy for a new player, but it is really easy to catch on to the mechanics and flow of the game.
