    Terraria is a great game with a lot of things to do, you can build however you want playing with people on the same platform (will be cross platform soon) and cheap for what it offers, without a doubt the best 2d game about building and farming.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is beatiful. With it's variety of guns, accessories, mobs, bosses, biomes... It has different type of classes and every class has it's own weapon and accessories. I played this game for like 400 hours and I am still not bored but the game is not very player friendly because it does not have a tutorial. So you gotta watch videos to understand the game and another thing is items that drop from Moonlord or After-Moonlord craftable items does not make sense because Moonlord is the last boss. So what am I supposed to do with these items if there is no boss stronger than Moonlord? Expand

    Terraria is a very good game that i enjoy because of how unique it is, it isn't as much like minecraft as you may think but personally i would say it is better

    Terraria is better than Minecraft.

    (Game) - Terraria in my opinion is one of the best indie games we currently have in the industry made by just a small team, who fully deserve the support of the fans. Despite the style that some may find negative, believe me, give this game a chance, it deserves it. 1.14 would be the last update as they continued to add new content and improvements.

    1.14 would be the last update as they continued to add new content and improvements. Excellent support and attention by the community.

    (Updates I'd like to see)
    (PVP - update)
    A few days ago I finished terraria completely, and I thought that some things still need to be filled in, what if it was possible to invade other players' worlds? Yes, this reminds us of some franchise that we have in the industry, but it wasn't bad at all, in fact it even added something to the pvp mode of the game, of course the combat in that aspect could change, but it would be fun.
    (Industrial Update)
    I think the game should have a slower and more industrial progression, despite being a fantasy RPG game.
    (World)
    When we get to the ocean we might not have a limited world and need a boat to sail to other islands, that would also be quite interesting.

    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.

    The game is straightforward in its design, yet it excels in delivering an abundance of fun, which is the paramount aspect of any game.

    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.

    Terraria is a pretty good game, with bosses that are mostly good, and building that is pretty fleshed out, however, for some items, you need to grind a lot, and this happens pretty frequently. but all-in-all the game is an enjoyable experience that i have sunk quite a bit of time into.

    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.

    Terraria is a masterpiece. It has more than 80 hours of content(people usually take at least 80 to defeat the final boss), with insane replayability value due to it being a sandbox-adventure game with barely any rules. In classic mode, this game is very easy(TOO easy), so if you've played other relatively hard 2D games before(like Hollow Knight) I recommend you to first play on ExpertTerraria is a masterpiece.

    it isn't fair that these critic reviews from 2011 still show up nowadays, the game has changed absurdly and nothing below a 95 is acceptable for it. One of the best games of all times and the best of its genre

    Terraria is an exceptional sandbox game that has captivated players with its boundless creativity, addictive gameplay, and vast exploration. With its charming 2D graphics, extensive world-building mechanics, and a staggering amount of content, Terraria offers an unparalleled experience that keeps players hooked for countless hours of adventure.

    One of the game's greatest strengths is its open-ended nature. From the moment you step into the procedurally generated world of Terraria, you're free to forge your own path. The game seamlessly blends elements of exploration, crafting, combat, and resource management, giving players an incredible amount of freedom to shape and mold their environments to their liking.

    The sheer depth and variety of gameplay mechanics in Terraria are truly impressive. The progression system is well-crafted, offering a satisfying sense of growth as you gather resources, defeat powerful bosses, and unlock new items and abilities. From building elaborate structures and crafting powerful weapons to delving into treacherous underground caverns and battling fearsome creatures, there's always something new and exciting to discover.

    Terraria's multiplayer mode takes the experience to another level. Joining forces with friends or other players online to explore, build, and conquer adds a whole new dimension of enjoyment. Whether you're collaborating on ambitious building projects, engaging in thrilling PvP battles, or simply adventuring together, the cooperative multiplayer aspect enhances the game's longevity and replayability.

    The pixel art style of Terraria is visually appealing, evoking a sense of nostalgia while still maintaining its own unique charm. The vibrant and varied biomes, from lush forests to eerie underground caverns, are filled with imaginative enemies and captivating landscapes. The game's soundtrack complements the gameplay perfectly, setting the mood for each different environment and enhancing the overall immersion.

    While Terraria offers an extraordinary experience, there are a few areas where it falls slightly short. The game's learning curve can be steep at times, especially for newcomers who may find themselves overwhelmed by the depth of its mechanics. Additionally, the absence of a clear tutorial or guidance early on may lead to some confusion. However, once players overcome these initial hurdles, the rewards are well worth it.

    Terraria's dedicated and passionate development team continually updates the game with new content, ensuring that the adventure never grows stale. The regular updates, including major content patches and events, demonstrate the team's commitment to keeping the game fresh and engaging for its dedicated community.

    In conclusion, Terraria is a masterpiece in the sandbox genre, offering an immersive and endlessly enjoyable experience. Its freedom of exploration, engaging gameplay mechanics, and collaborative multiplayer make it a standout title that appeals to a wide range of players. Despite a slight learning curve and initial lack of guidance, Terraria's exceptional depth and constant updates earn it a well-deserved 9/10 rating. Prepare to embark on a journey filled with endless possibilities and unforgettable adventures in the world of Terraria.

    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.
