If they think that then maybe they should One: update the game, Two: get a new computer instead of those crappy ones they have, and Three: get a new keyboard. If you want to enjoy this game, you have to play it right. And you should be exited to look something up on YouTube so that way you know more about what to do. After that you should just naturally be able to learn the game yourself.

    If you're someone who doesn't like the game because of those reasons, then update yourself. Get some new gear, update whatever you can, and enjoy the damn game. Terraria is amazing and I don't think anybody should be talking s**t about it. Even when the game came out in 2011, it was still amazing. Just upgrade whatever you can and you will enjoy this game. Unless you're one of those people who likes older computers. Other than that, have fun and enjoy the game.    … Expand

That when I was still so heavy into MC that I though all other games like MC where not worth playing.

    one of my friends a few months later then asked if we can play Terraria and like always I said idk its not as good as MC, but I still said i would give it a shot. He helped me throw out the game teaching me how to play and what to do and what not to do and ever since that day I kind of am hooked on it. I went back on MC about 10 days later and was this doesn't feel the same anymore. Way to go u won a place in my heart.    … Expand

    People like to compare this to Minecraft, but it's completely different. And I love it for that. So many tiers of armours and weapons, a wide variety of enemies and NPCs, and many, many bosses. The art was beautiful and retro, the music perfectly complements the game and gameplay is perfect.

    There are like hundreds of creatures, and killing them is just half f the fun! you can mine, build, explore, craft...

    a must have game for every player that likes a casual survival/explore adventure ;D

So many people can't get past the fact that it is 2-D with a 16-bit look to it...which is ridiculous...while other people put it down for being "another Minecraft ripoff"...also completely ridiculous. The 2-D, side scrolling, 16-bit SNES feel of the game is one of the awesome things about it...lots of nostalgia and comfort in this kind of setting for people in my age group. And anyone that says that Terraria is a Minecraft ripoff needs to really compare the two games with a bit more depth. Minecraft is baby town frolics in comparison... Now sure, are there things that are similar...yes...but a "clone" of Minecraft? Not even close. Terraria is way more in depth, with more options, more things to craft, do, explore, build, fight, etc. and just when you think that you have done it all or seen it all, you find something new, or they add content (which is free btw). Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone, but especially if you like open ended, sandbox type games or if you are looking for something to entertain you for days, weeks, or months...for the low price of $10, it is totally worth it.… Expand

Personally i believe this game is better than minecraft. My reasons being it is more like an RPG which i play a lot of also it is a lot cheaper.

When I bought it, I realized it was much more. Right now, there are so much things in the game you can't even imagine. You first start by customizing your character with thousands of different possibilities. You could have weeks of playtime and you would still have much, much more things to explore. The game is focused around you crafting items to advance in the game, so you can battle harder enemies, build better things, and explore new areas that help you progress. You will always have a goal and spend hours trying to reach that goal. The graphics are Super Nintendo style and fit perfectly in a game like this. The music will get stuck in your head whenever you hear it, and you can't help but tap your foot to some tunes. It has many game references to other games and easter eggs that'll make you remember. It has a very affordable price ($10), and to top it off the game has multiplayer! You can work together for the greater good of all, you can build together, or you could just try slaughtering each other. With the dozens of tools and hundreds of blocks, Terraria makes the perfect sandbox game, and game for that matter. This game is my favorite game of all time, and will be forever, and others can say that too about it… Expand

Terraria, perhaps now more than ever, is a must have game as the development team have returned to work on releasing content updates. The game currently in version 1.2.2 is deep, rewarding, and brimming with variety, something that Terraria is well renowned for. Terraria stands to only become a better experience as successive patches are released, and one can expect only the best from Redigit and the Re-Logic staff, both now and on future developments such as the rumored sequel to Terraria, Terraria 2.

The only thing it shares with Minecraft is... mining and crafting, but the similarity stops there.

    There are untold hordes of monsters, animals, insects, spiders, mythical enemies, environments, materials, bosses (that are a real challenge), and so much more which put it far above anything ending in "-craft". There is an entire wiki devoted to the game, and a little poking around will reveal a ton of possibilities for what can be done in the game, not to mention add-ons, mods, and tools / utilities.

    Plus, it has been updated many times with new content and activities, making it a continually replayable game to find out what else you can do!

    Others say it is a steal at its regular $10 price, but it is a no-brainer on Steam Sale for $2.50. I have well over 500+ hours, almost 600, in the game and have it on every computer I own. It is just that amazing a game. The keyboard / mouse combo may take a little getting used to if you use controllers, but once you got it, it makes perfect sense.

    This game is a rare stand-out gem in today's predictable, recycled game releases of 3D shooters painted grey and brown - something challenging and genuinely fun!    … Expand

    The game offers a ton of content and has given me far more enjoyment than games I paid $30 or $60
    for.

    Obviously this game will not appeal to everyone, like FPS games and Minecraft don't appeal to others. But as far as my take on this game goes, I love it. It's awesome. I have never encountered any game breaking bugs and have spent over 200 hours on it. The building possibilities are virtually limitless despite being 2D and the fighting against bosses and other monsters is a lot of fun. When the game was released compared to how it is now (V. 1.0 and V. 1.2.4 as of this review) is totally different. For those that haven't played Terraria since then I highly recommend you at least try again. The graphics have totally been revamped and the content is awesome. There is quite literally 1000's of items and each game can take up to 50-100 hours to fully complete the game, allowing an insane amount of game play. The building aspect is awesome in this game too... time consuming but still can produce an awesome result.

Now, many people like to say how Terraria is just a 2D version of it's 3D brother Minecraft, however this is quite wrong, when's the last time you've seen a flying eye in Minecraft without mods? And unlike Minecraft, with the new 1.3 update there is now steam support, so it makes it even easier to play with your friends than Minecraft, with Minecraft you would need to buy a server or use hamatchi, but with Terraria you can host a server and invite anyone from your steam friends list that has the game. In my opinion Terraria is a game that should be played with friends, when the game is played by yourself the game can get boring, causing you to stop playing. One thing that I will have to say about the game is that the beginning is VERY tedious, if you're just starting out you have to grind for quite some time until you get enough ores to start taking down bosses, but once you take down one boss, you start going on a roll... That is until you get to hardmode, where the process restarts by needing to grind for Cobaltpalidium, Mythrilorcalcum, and adamantitetitanium. The only way to avoid grinding for these ores is to fish for crates, which again can be very tedious. After killing the 'final' boss, it leaves you with that feeling of "What now?" and this causes a lot of players to just drop the game after they kill a certain boss. I highly recommend this game to any casualmature players, competitive players may like the pvp area of the game, and if it goes on sale I would 100% recommend for anyone to pick it up just to try it. when it goes on sale you could buy about 13 copies of the game for the price of one Minecraft copy. Have fun playing everyone!… Expand

    I very heavily suggest you to try this game. Especially if you like survival games or have a friend who has the game as well (two player is amazing, though it's sadly difficult to make a server). After you finish the game once, and start getting bored. Just take a break from the game, maybe 3-4 months or so, and then you will be able to feel the full joy from the game again, discluding the exploring part.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is awesome, f*ck those f4gs who say that is a minecraft rip-off or is simplistic etc. it's a big game, really big, it have over 2000+ items, and the next update (1.3) will bring over 500+ items, reaching the item number 3000 in september of the last year, it's a very addictive game, yes, thei'r worlds are small but the really big pro is that you can "travel worlds", you can use 1 character in 5 different worlds, it's very cheap, specially in the steam sales (i bought it for 2 dollars), if you got anything (duke fishron defeated + all events done) there is alot more to do, you can build really big buildings, it have over +500 blocks to build with, the developers are really good at hyping, this is game have alot of bosses, 20 aprox. here they are in order of sequence YOU should beat:
    -King Slime
    -Eye of Cthulhu (sorry bad grammar)
    -Eater of worlds
    -Brain of cthulhu
    -Queen Bee
    -Skeletron
    -Wall of flesh

    Now hardmode
    -Wyvern
    -Ice Golem
    -The Destroyer
    -The twins
    -Skeletron Prime
    -Plantera
    -Paladin
    -Golem
    -Lunar Eclipse (this is isn't a boss, but it's recommended to beat before the next boss/event)
    -Pumpking and Mourning Wood(Pumpkin moon)
    -Santa NK-1, Everscream and the Ice Queen (Frost moon)
    -Duke Fishron

    Those are mobile/console exclusive
    -Lepus
    -Arch Wyvern
    -Turkor the ungrateful
    -Ocram

    And now the mods, yes, they are a bit slim, but those make a HUGE HUGE REALLY HUGE modification, the minimum a mod of items they add are 200, bosses 3 and weapons 50, there are like 5 or so, 2 are for the lastest version (1.2.4.1), the first one is the oblivion mod, it have the ability to add to up to 600 of HP, it adds weapons 2x stronger than the terra blade and very strong armors, and over 5 bosses, wich 2 are almost the same but in the difficulty is really big, it hads another mode of game, the super hard-mode, it's after unlocking hard-mode and beating the nuclear slime or so, this unlocks most of the game content, the second one is N Terraria, it adds a RPG style, you can now choose a race, and have up to 3/4 teammates/pets, you can share inventory and it adds some biomes, + mini-bosses

    I have to mention the biomes? yes i do, it have 20 in total (almost), and they MAKE a difference, not like minecraft, they are just a reskin of everything and it's the same, this adds different enemys, loots, bosses etc. i mentioned that terraria have almost over 100 weapons?, this game is filled with a really big content, and it's very cheap, less than 15 dollars, and it doesn't need more than 300 MB, i think it needs 128 or something like that

There are also hundreds of weapons with different effects from a rainbow gun to a jack-o-lantern launcher to a staff that summons a frost hydra.

During the night there will spawn dangerous monsters everywhere. When it is raining the zombies use raincoats. During Halloween and Christmas special things happen. You must mine the earth for metal ore, melt the ore to metal bars and then forge swords. Bosses will drop special weapons when defeated.

    Cringe Factor: 1/10 (Not cringy but, someone I know plays it and they shouldn't)

    Portabillity 6/10 / 9/10 (The Mobile Versions have less content and makes the game a bit less fun with less features and pretty much ends at Ocram however, Playing this on a plane or on a road trip using a computer yet, you are using a computer and that may not be portable)

    Content 11/10 (This game has so much content and ways to go that sometimes when I play other games they feel lacking. For being on 1.36 it's incredible. Minecraft is at 1.12 and still has less.)

    Multiplayer 9/10 (I only gave a 9 out of 10 because my computer lags more on it but, besides that this game is mostly meant for multiplayer and even some bosses feel like multiplayer should be required)

    Graphics 6/10 (There's not much else they can do so, sorry to say but they get a 6)

I can imagine many critics have started Terraria, played for some hours trying to figure it out, and put it away. Very often, critics have drawn misguided conclusions that Terraria resembles Minecraft (or is a Minecraft clone), but in fact nothing could be further from the truth. Terraria is a procedurally generated sandbox survival metroidvania. Learning curve is steep, the game is hard and often requires you to consult to wikis and guides (even more so than the Souls series) but once you gain control of the game mechanics, you will find a very deep, hard core gem. Don’t let its eye-candy graphics fool you…

    You are dropped into a world surrounded by many dangers. Initially, you are expected to make your first shelter, first weapon and just survive. This is the very core of the whole game. In order to beat stronger creatures, you need better weapons for which you need better crafting material. To get better crafting material, you need to mine deep into the earth, which leads you to find secret chests, face gazillion creatures including “bosses”. Boss fights not only require skill, but also need you to have the weapons, armors, potions, items necessary to beat them. Last, but not the least, there are plenty of events such as Halloween, Christmas, Pirate Invasion etc. with their own unique bosses and loots.

    While you are working on mining for better tools, armors, weapons to be able to beat stronger enemies, you also need to keep expanding your “shelter”. A chair, ceiling and door is not sufficient any longer. You need to keep building new rooms to have room for new crafting centers and chests (for inventory). Every new room invites a new NPC to your shelter who can be crucial in your quest to beat the world of terraria, whether they sell you with unique items or provide healing.

    Being a true sandbox game, you can also ignore progression and spend hundreds of hours just building. Your limit to what you can build and how you can customize it is your imagination. People at Terraria subreddit still manage to amaze me with their creativity and sometimes totally mind-blowing architecture.

    Whether you choose to play it as a metroidvania or as a sandbox 2d Minecraft, you will love Terraria. In my opinion, it is one of the best games ever made.

    PS: Buy it full price. Developers are still updating content and supporting the game after all these years (without any paid DLCs whatsoever), they really deserve some support.    … Expand

    Terraria is a 2D Adventure, Survival, Crafting Game that is just perfect in every way. It also is very optimised and recieved lots of updates making building (Thank you for the smart Cursor) & moving around the world (Thank you for the different mounts) alot easier.

    Terraria is so Cheap but you can spend so much time on it. It basically is never ending fun and now with the achievements it will be easy ish to get 100%. The only grinding bit will be the fishing quests you'll need to do.

    There is honestly so much to do and it is an absolut gem. You just have to try it out yourself and if you dont want to spend 10€ (which is already really cheap for this kind of game) then you can always wait for a sale and grab it there!

    Now this Game might not have the best "graphics" but it is lovely the way it is and it shouldn't be in any other way.

    I highly recommend this Game to any Minecraft, Metroidvania & 100% Achievement Fan. But even if you are not one of those, the Chances that you will dislike this Game are very low! So just give it a shot!    … Expand

Terraria has plenty more too do Minecraft gets boring very fast not much content both games have the factor that you can build whatever you want wherever, But the similarities end right there Minecraft's single player has almost no content with only two bosses and only a couple difficulties While Terraria has 14 bosses not including events and there mini bosses . And the people behind Terraria are a small indie team, while Microsoft owns Minecraft and it doeant have nearly as much content half the negative reviews on this game just are people who didn't even kill the first boss in the game and yet hate on it regardless calling it a Minecraft knock off While Terraria is the 20th most sold game in the world its clearly not a bad game if its sold that many copies in 7 years across 3 platforms developed by an indie game my only criticism of the game is that it feels to fun progress throughout the game but the endgame feels like there isn't anything else to do but never the less the developers are updating the game wish they could faster though but I know there putting effort behind it, 1.4 Terraria will be the best thing to happen to the game yet. Each update changes the game for the better and it has been a blast to follow this game since the Xbox 360 version up to 1.3 ! I really think you should try out this game its a blast !… Expand

I have done this to avoid stuff happening when you kill a specific boss which causes something to happen you might not want before doing other things to be ready for the hardmode etc. The 1 contra point here is, the worlds are very very small.

Awesome.This game has so much content and stuff everything that you do is fun like just digging straight down to explore any underground cavern,One of the best things is that you are always collecting items there is also a ton of bosses whic can drop diffrent items like the Wall Of Flesh or Duke Fishron.When you enter hardmode you unlock a ton of new items bosses,materials,biomes and enemies and every enemy you touch can kill you with a few hits which makes the start of hardmode alot harder making you forget your days when you just mined minerals and you didn't worry too much about enemies and if you feel like a PRO you have expert mode where bosses will drop exclusive items from expert mode.Even if i get some frame drops in my primarily world,im 100% sure thats because of some shadowing problems because when i enter any of my other worlds the game runs really well.Don't worry about FPS because you can run it with your toaster just watch some videos and disable one of the achivements wich requires you to walk 40km and yes! There are achivements, a ton of achivements.It hasn't bad optimization.Do you know how much items there are? not 1000 or 2000 but more than 3000 items! and some of them al exclusive from PS4,Android,etc,But it doesn't matter that PC hasn't exclusive items (or maybe it has) it's worth buying this 2D game.Really the price is worth it.… Expand

Now, most people would probably look at this game and think it's just 2D Minecraft, but it is so much more than that. The main similarities are in the blocks and survival aspects of it. But beyond that Terraria is just so much more.

Now, most people would probably look at this game and think it's just 2D Minecraft, but it is so much more than that. The main similarities are in the blocks and survival aspects of it. But beyond that Terraria is just so much more.

    Summary:

    Gameplay - [9] When you start a world for the first time it is a very slow game, but the game quickly picks up the pace. There is no hand-holding in this game whatsoever, you have to do everything yourself or check the Terraria wiki page. You change a lot during your adventure and in the end the game is very fast-paced.

    Soundtrack - [10] The soundtrack is some of the best I've ever heard in a sandbox game. It's so simplistic yet so good. It is very catchy and I will never forget the iconic song Overworld Day which is instantly recognized.

    Graphics - [10] Since it isn't aiming for realistic graphics you really cannot give it a bad score. It's a very specific kind of art style that fits the game very well.

    Price - [10] The price is incredibly cheap compared to what you get. You get a really long game with a bunch of replay value. It costs 9,99€ on Steam but often goes down to 4.99€ during sales. It's a great price.

    In conclusion: Terraria is a fantastic game that has everything you would ever want in a game like this. You should really buy this if you want a really good sandbox game. The developers have been supporting this game for years now and still have 1 last update left called Journey's End. Thanks for reading this review.    … Expand

    Terraria is one of the best sandbox games. Terraria has some Minecraft spirit, however the focus of the game is on fighting and crafting, so it involves more action. The best way to enjoy Terraria is to play it with a couple of friends on your own server.

    A lot of games tried to copy Minecraft – or at least participate from its' success. But this two-dimensional take on the well known formula is the only game that is able to step out of the shadow of the indie phenomenon that inspired it. It leads you into a unique world full of creative magic.
