    If you like Minecraft, then you'll love terraria. this game is packed to the brim with stuff to discover. I have over 400 hours in the game and I still haven't played all the secret worlds and used all the items. This might be a controversial opinion but I think terraria is a bit better than minecraft.

Now i've been playing minecraft since 2014 and I have a huge amount of nostalgia for that game. But this game has so many weapons, so many bosses, so many references. I mean hell, theres even a creeper costume in the game. I highly recommend terraria if you haven't played it already. the start might seem a bit slow but after about an hour of play time it gets addicting. Expand

    This is sure the best game you can buy for $10 (or equivalent for your country/region). Been playing the game since the march of 2012 year, still a huge fan of this game. In my opinion, Terraria is one of the best indie games ever released.

    It is now 2023 and this game still retains the same charm as when the game was released in 2011. Truly an immortal monument of the gaming world. One of the best sandbox and adventure games I have ever played, it will definitely live on in my heart as well as in the hearts of other players and it will certainly continue to attract more players in the future.

    A game that is not very entertaining for me, I prefer a thousand times to buy minecraft than to play terraria, it is not as good as minecraft, they are almost the same mechanics.

    Great controls, top tier music and really good ideas that blend together for an amazing experience. While it has problems, like when you need to get the hard-mode ores and the grind of a lot of the items can suck my nuts, even though I’m in english class i can say that this is my favorite game of all time.

    The game is fun to play there are some flaws and it would get repetive if not mods people try to make it an "2d minecraft" but it's not trust me.

    My personal favorite video game of all time, especially with mods such as calamity. It's actually a little scary how fun it is, it cuts right into that "your succeeding" part of your brain with it's top of the line progression system, and with it's different classes to try it makes for unlimited replayability.

    The best 2D game I will ever play. The game is much more than just 2d Minecraft, actually I prefer Terraria over Minecraft. The game is endless with it's weapons and accessories. You can play the game however you want. The pixel art is good and the soundtrack is amazing! Combat is mostly dodging and shooting but that's not bad at all.
    Playtime: 789 hours

    Terraria is one of those games that you won't feel the same when you play it again.

    After playing it for 539 hours, I can come to the conclusion that Terraria is my favorite survival sandbox game.

Terraria makes every single thing it tries fun, from building the perfect town for your NPCs to building up your weapon collection. every thing about Terraria is damn near perfection, and I feel like I stole it with how low the price point is, yeah, buy this game Expand

    Has the greatest progression out of all survival/RPG games out there. The only problem with Terraria is that after you defeat the final boss there is no more progression.

    Best 10 bucks you can spend on entertainment. The game feels endless at the beginning, and you can explore and discover new things even after hundreds of hours of gameplay. Be sure to have the wiki ready when playing.

    If I could, I would give Terraria 11/10. One of my favorite games of all time, while I have only 200h in the game I know a guy who spent 4000h just playing Terraria. It's replayability is great, a a million different mods, shoutout to Calamity, Starlight River and Thorium. Soon there will be the 5th update after the "last update ever", so the developers didn't just leave the game.

    This game is truly one of the games out there, it's art style is wonderful, gameplay is great, Vast lore, but I hate the Goblin Sorcerers. Therefore I give it an 8.

    An amazing platformer sandbox game that is just really fun, but can get repetitive, when that happens, there comes special seeds and servers!

    However, if you look past that, this game is very fun. The weapons are fun to use and the items look good.. The enemies are well balanced and creative and the progression feels nice.

    Huge props to the developers and the amazing community.

    This game is great fun for playing by your self and playing with friends.

    The game i also has a criminally low price so there really is no excuse not to buy it.

    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.
