    Simply one of the best games you could buy. Every world is different, an insane amount of items to craft, find and kill for and has split screen co op which is a massive bonus. The cons.....nope not got one.

    This game is endless fun, I played with friends for hours when we first got this. It didn't take us long at all to get hooked onto this game. And I've seen so many people say this game is awful because of the controls. All you have to do is click on your right stick and you can control what you're doing with ease.

    terraria es un juegazo, es adictivo, tiene muchísimo contenido, y el mapa es gigante, gran variedad de jefes, lo que no me gusta es que no se puede poner pausa

    Do yourself a favor and take the time to at least watch some twitch or youtube play throughs of about 4 episodes of this game. It will show you if you will like this game or not.

    There is just so much to love and do in this game that it is amazing. This game is a sandbox. It is an MMO. It is a minecraft clone. It has local co-op, it has servers, it's has pvp. It's has 2d scroller boss

    There is just so much to love and do in this game that it is amazing. This game is a sandbox. It is an MMO. It is a minecraft clone. It has local co-op, it has servers, it's has pvp. It's has 2d scroller boss fights. You build bases and craft just about anything and everything you want in the world. It's casual, but it is also hardcore. You can have something like 15 worlds saved at the same time. In fact there aren't many games out there that allow you to do as much as this game does.

    This game has gigantic replay value because of it's randomly generated worlds and it just has so much to do. It has a strong player community. It has been around for a couple of years on PC. It is still patched and the developers listen to the community as is evidenced by it's latest patch.

    It has it's weakpoints. It is 2d graphics, it's learning curve is rough if you don't come from minecraft. And it's controls can be confusing to new players.

    It's randomly generated worlds can be abusive even on the normal level. My world beat the snot out of me unapologetically. I had jungle to my left, ice to my right, and an ocean where my mining should of been. My jungle water then flooded my mines. I tried to mine it out, only to find more water and higher level mobs. I'm attacked day and night by 4 or 5 higher level mobs at a time. Somehow they get into my base. Through the doors and walls. And there was no material to upgrade in my starting area. Eventually I adventured deep into the ice area and I found upgrades. So I overcame. My wife on the other hand got a great starting area and is loving it.

    This game should be a 10, because it has so much to offer for only $20 bucks, but I give it an 8 for presenting itself as a carebear casual game and beating up relentlessly on me. I loathe it and love it at the same time ;).

    This game is very fun and I recommend it to many people for many reasons, such as always different worlds, and a great game to play with your friends. Although I do have problems. The controls are a little wonky and later on the game kind of stops helping you and get complicated. Sure you can just look up information but the kills the experiment.

    I love Terraria for a couple of reason. The first reason is because it's such a good game that could last hours and hours, 2 because of it exploring, digging and fighting bosses and the finally reason is on Xbox one it feels nice with the 1.3 update.

    Such a fun game, for a while. But after playing it several days in a row, it just gets boring.

    I would've given this game a perfect score except for the controls are the best, i'm sure they tried their best to make the controls the best they could. Other than that, this game is very good

    An amazing game with endless possibilities. However, factors such as being double the price as other versions, talking a while for new updates to be ported onto it, and the limited control features limit the game's value, but apart from those three flaws, Terraria for the Xbox One is great.

    Playing this with friends makes for one of the best games I've played. So many things to do, bosses to fight, and weapons to make. Not to mention one of my favorite soundtracks ever.

    the epitome of what a survival sandbox should be. Totally a groundbreaking fete. Tons of things to craft, tons of zombies, such a large and expansive world. A Great game.

    Each world is packed with mysterious treasures and treacheries just waiting to be discovered, and learning how to use them to shape the world to your benefit is enormously satisfying. [Jan 2015, p.89]

    Terraria on next-gen acts just like an updated version of what been seen on a PC, so rich in content. We have still some concerns for the control system, less effective on a controller compared to the mouse.
