Terraria

I was waiting for this game for so long to be DRM free! I'm excited. I love the game, and the art style is great. I took off one star because while it's near perfect, it's very hard to get into if you don't look at the wiki or have someone in game to play with and guide you.

This is much more then a 2D Minecraft. This is a 2D Plattform Building RPG Metriodvania Mix with extremly great content variety.

This is a piece of art! Best 2D game ever made, Best game for replaying, Very nice music and fabulous atmosphere. .

Terraria is a wonderful experience that constantly rewards players for avid research, planning, and creativity. The depth and progression on offer here remain unmatched by any other sandbox game. The gameplay is primarily composed of surviving, crafting, and battling boss enemies. The game's many bosses are quite fun to fight and learn their behavioral patterns. There are also many crafting trees of items to use in molding the game world as the player sees fit. Traversing any progression tree is a consistently satisfying and addicting experience. There are a few unavoidable instances of grinding for rare materials here and there, but they are generally well-paced throughout a given playthrough. What is also unavoidable is the large corpus of knowledge that players will be expected to memorize to maximize their experience. This is mitigated by using the 'guide' NPC or official wiki site. Terraria's art design is of the standard retro style, opting for practicality over unique aesthetics. The background images are often quite nice and charming. As the player progresses, they are introduced to gradually more colorful and visually interesting items, which strengthens the sense of progression. There is also an absurd amount of block types and cosmetic items to use and build unique homes and contraptions. The user interface can be a little confusing or overly small depending on your screen, but it isn't difficult to get used to. Also, the music is very nice and catchy, encouraging the player to remain engaged even when tasked with a repetitive activity. The game's 'story' is mostly non-existent and basic, with the player's objective being to defeat an altered version of Cthulhu and related forces. This premise allows for some unique designs for enemies, especially bosses. This game is wholly recommended to anyone who wants to get lost in a deep sandbox adventure, champion over demonic forces, and become a master in shaping their own fantastical terrarium.

Love it. I'm 48 years old and have played many many games. So much good stuff these days. I use the game to relax. Everything just works so well and you have a true sense of progression that can get you excited. I find something a little better each time I venture out. Well balanced combat and cute graphics. Try it! The developers deserve all the praise.
