I have about 150 relatively contemporary games, including great indie games and AAA games, and I spend plenty of time on them. Despite this, over the past three years I have spent more time on Terraria than all of those other games combined. In Terraria, you can build sprawling complexes, explore, kill stuff, summon and fight bosses, craft, work with your friends, hunt your friends, use mods to quickly design vast new adventure maps, whatever you want. You can squeeze in two minutes when you have a little down time, or stay up through the wee hours because you keep on adding just one more thing. You can play alone, with other adults, or with your kids through a relatively painless LAN. I love the style and the content, but what I most value is the freedom. The developers have kept adding content long after they easily could have simply cashed in on a sequel. This is a fantastic game with a great community. If you look at the reviews over at Steam, you will see that many of us have spent hundreds or even thousands of hours on Terraria. I am thrilled that it is finally available DRM-free at GOG.
