    TERRARIA ISN'T 2D MINECRAFT ITS EVEN BETTER THAN MINECRAFT!(in my opinion) Terraria is a 2d sandbox and more like a openworld rpg.gameplay is simple(so satisfying and AMAZING at the same time)
    Graphics are good and the best part of the game is sountracks they're beautiful and so much fun every biom and every boss has a unique soundtrack. And thanks re logic for terraria

    Ok, if you known minecraft you probably known Terraria. Is the best 2D survival-sandbox. If you think "Minecraft is better than terraria!!" after 2 hours, you AREN'T right! terraria is much much bigger! So if you like minecraft, but you think it's too small, play terraria, because it's better. And it got 20 more bosses (:

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terraria is an all-around incredible game. I want to go as in-depth as possible in this review, but to be honest, I don't know where to start. So, let me start at the very beginning.

    I make a new world and hop in. You paid 10 bucks for this game, maybe 5. You might've even gotten it for free as a gift. I discovered this game on my uncle's computer, where I did my first playthrough. Lucky me. At first, Terraria didn't seem to offer anything special. There were trees, slimes, bunnies. All things Minecraft, the game I used to be hooked onto, had. I took out the axe and started chopping down some trees. After a couple of minutes, I had learned the game mechanics and built a small shack.

    At this point, I was about ready to close the game and find something else to play. Terraria wasn't really that interesting... it was everything Minecraft was, but with one less dimension. And yes, this is was most people who hop onto this website and spill out a bad review seem to think. But if only, if ONLY they bothered to make it to at LEAST the first boss, they would see it is so much more than that.

    Terraria keeps you on your toes the entire way through. It has a very smart way of doing things, giving you satisfaction with your current power and then shoving a buttload of new enemies straight at your face. Yes, you WILL die. But each death adds to your ever-growing knowledge of the mobs' AIs, the world generation, and the strategies you must implement to conquer these challenges and continue your path to defeat the Moon Lord.

    Now, let's tackle a problem a LOT of people have with the game. The crafting recipes can get confusing and messy. There's no explanation apart from a few random tips from the Guide on what to do. This is the fun part of it, though. If you knew EVERYTHING that was going to happen, the game would be no fun. Once you discover that you can create shortcuts, craft new accessories, weapons, and other helpful items, you'll feel like a master... even IF everyone has done these things before. The road down Terraria gets smoother and quicker and, of course, more exciting as you go on. Are you going to let a bumpy start slow you down?

    I've already gone over this, but I feel the need to emphasize the genius of this game. The one moment where everything changes: when you kill the Wall of Flesh. Everything you thought you knew about the world is erased. Your feeble weapons are no match against the new enemies with higher stats, smarter AI, and freakish looks. Of course, through fighting these and exploring the altered world, you will obtain stronger weapons to fight the crazy bosses.

    Ah, yes. The bosses. Terraria bosses are very unique. You go up against them and are scared as **** but you learn their movements and put them down. This is the way of Terraria. I cannot begin to explain how diverse the enemies, biomes, ores, weapons, tools, accessories, and armors are. Just look up a video showing all of the Terraria armors. Or, you could, you know, complain about the bumpy start to Terraria and quit after ten minutes.

    Your choice.    … Expand

    Well, there's not much to say for the Best 2D Sandbox RPG of the last decade. Terraria is about to past 10 year mark but its still thriving with amazing content creators, community oriented mods and caring devs. In these quarantine days, Grab some snacks and play Terraria with your friends then you wont notice how time passes

    Sum: If you haven't played yet, then what you're waiting for?

    I completed all the achievements, it was hard to complete 200 fisherman's quests, for this I had to download a map with fishing spots.

    Everything is here: Progression, modes that make replayability still fun and completely different experience, offers hard boss fights, Mods to alter game more and try different playstyles, 5 classes, game Advances as u play or rather kill bosses, challenge events, lots of mobs, various biomes, NPCs, blocks and    This game has only one issue and that's: It's consuming, but in a good way.

    In steam i did a review for terraria just saying that the game is awesome and done, but here i want to do a actual analysis of the game,so lets go.(OBS: This analysis is gonna be about the version 1.3.5 of the game, as i didn't played 1.4 that much yet, but i'm gonna mention it sometimes tho)
    First, the graphics. they are pretty simplistic but it fits pretty well with the game's aspect,    In steam i did a review for terraria just saying that the game is awesome and done, but here i want to do a actual analysis of the game,so lets go.(OBS: This analysis is gonna be about the version 1.3.5 of the game, as i didn't played 1.4 that much yet, but i'm gonna mention it sometimes tho)
    First, the graphics. they are pretty simplistic but it fits pretty well with the game's aspect, the NPCs, the enemies and the blocks/items are the ''simplistic'' part of the graphics, but the enemies from hardmode and the bosses are, in most part, amazing. The effects of the game got a lot better with the 1.4 update, but in 1.3 they are still pretty good and well-fitting. in general, they are nice. 9/10
    Now, the main aspect (i think) of the game, the gameplay. i gotta admit that pre-hardmode is very slow, you gotta mine some ores, make some tools, kill some enemies, get some loot, and if you don't know what to do (like dont knowing that hardmode exists becuz the WoF is in hell, dont know that you can destroy shadow orbs/crimson hearts to get meteors and goblin invasions, etc) you are stuck there until you go to the game's wiki. when you get into hardmode though, the game changes completely, having super strong enemies, having dozens of new loot to get, having a new biome and ores, and specially having new frenetic bosses. after hardmode the game gets really fun and addicting, if someone put a 0 at this game, is because they got stuck in pre-hardmode. and i don't judge them 100%, in general, the gameplay is 10/10
    And now, the soundtracks, they are incredible. sadly my PC got a broke soundboard so i can't hear them in-game, but by hearing them in the internet i discoverev what a big of a deal i was losing. for some reason the soundtracks fit so well to each biome/boss that it scares me. the overworld there is relaxing and a good start to the game, the crimson theme is scary, the boss themes give you a sense of danger, its incredible. 10/10
    now, this one thing that i talked so many times about, the bosses. they are one of the reasons i kept playing the game for that long (150 hours) they aren't that difficult but they can't be beaten with a blink (except if you have a post-moon lord weapon of course) the first boss that the player will meet in the game is eye of cthulu, at a normal world it is a good bossfight for the start of the game, he releases some little eyes and after a half of its HP it gets enraged and dashes at you, at expert it dashes faster when he is enraged, which you need a strategy to kill it. at the end of the game, there is moon lord, which is a very difficult boss that attacks you with eyeballs and lasers, and each moon lord eye you kill, it releases a huge eyeball that stays on the screen until you kill moon lord, when you kill the 3, its core/heart pops off so you can defeat it, it's a pretty tense boss fight, which fits well with the end of the game, there is only 1 part i don't like about the bosses, the mechanical bosses. they are insanely hard to kill... EVEN IN NORMAL MODE! before i could just beat them with the daedalus stormbow and holy arrows, but apparently in 1.4 they nerfed it so now it's even harder to beat them, i think 30 of that hours have been spent just trying to beat them, until i gave up and used the bow. in general, 8.5/10
    so thats it. terraria is a magnificent game which i will keep playing for a long time, it's a very great game to spend your money with, just be aware that the start of the game is pretty slow and that you can't discover everything for yourself and you will need the wiki eventually, i would give it a 9.5/10 if there was a .5 system, so i'm going with a 10, one of the best games i've ever played.    … Expand

    One of the best games I've ever played.
    It is a 2D, open world sandbox game where you build yourself a little town or one big building where after some time and after you do certain things, NPC's will move in, most of them are vendors.
    You are diging, mining, crafting, fighting enemys and bosses and most likely you'll have a blast doing it. It's simple to play, great crafting system,    One of the best games I've ever played.

    Masterpiece. This timeless classic has so many mechanics yets excecutes them flawlessy. It starts slow, but as the gameplay loop gains momentum it is impossible to put down. The second half of hardmode is one of the funnest gaming experinces you can possibly have. Im not kidding. One of the best games of all time. All this for 2 quid (5 bucks for americans i think)

    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.

    It's a title that will appeal to the adventurer, the explorer and the builder; not to mention those who appreciate a substantial amount of player freedom. If you happen to be all of those things, Terraria is a lightly tarnished treasure.

    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.
