    I gave this a shot back when people wouldn't stop talking about it, and I thought it was just okay.

    That opinion hasn't changed.

    Collect, build, fight and customize your world in Terraria. There are dozens of items, materials, weapons and armors you can craft, as well as dangerous foes you will have to defeat if you want to get the best loot. Go solo or join your friends online and create the world you’ve always wanted to live in.

    I believe 505 Games did an excellent job porting Terraria to the Switch and made the most of the buttons, triggers, and joysticks at their disposal. but after so many hours of playing with mouse and keyboard, it is hard to adjust. Though, being able to play Terraria from the comfort of my bed may be worth the effort.

    That Terraria continues to receive ports to new systems is a testament to the game’s playability. It continues to attract new fans while prompting long-time players to double- and even triple-dip. I don’t think you need the Switch version if you’re already set up on your other gaming system(s) of preference (especially at the current price). If the Switch is your only option, however, it’s good enough for us to offer a recommendation. Let’s just hope the developers manage to dig up and build couch co-op before night falls again.
