Terraria

Terraria is a 2D game released in 2011. A lot of people who haven't even played the game call it a ripoff of minecraft, but as someone who actually experienced the game, I can officially say that it's much more than that.

For starters, Terraria has a lot of depth. There are many different ways to play the game, and lots of content in general. Hundreds of creative weapons, cute pets,. And awesome accessories keep you hooked as you try to collect them all.

You can make yourself as overpowered as you want in the endgame, but you start with almost nothing. It's fun to make progress in the game, slowly making yourself more powerful.

This game also has many, MANY pop culture references. You can fight a ninja slime with a bow that shoots flaming bats while wearing a creeper costume and riding a goat from hell!

If that doesn't sound fun, I don't know what is.

And finally, the game has a MASSIVE and very active community. Every day new videos, fanart, and mods are pumped out at alarming speeds.

Ah yes, the mods. There's tons of them!

The game already has lots of content, but the mods sometimes make terraria into an even better game than it was before. New bosses, mechanics, OP weapons, what's not to love?

Anyone saying this is less than 10 do not understand how video games should be rated. You do not compare a 2D game to skyrim ffs. This game in it's own genre and general style is 10/10. Music is 10/10. Gameplay is 10/10. Craphics are beyond beautiful for a 2D game. Comparing it to minecraft is insane because the only thing they are exactly similar in is the fact that blocks can be placed and removed. Terraria was in the works at the same time as minecraft. So you do not get to say it is a copy either. Minecraft is a basically just a 2D pixel game in 3D first person if that makes sense so maybe that is why people keep comparing them the way they do but whatever.

The core premise of the game is something like 2d Minecraft but much more rich in weapons and bosses But lacks some basic fundamental qualities which prevent it from being a great sandbox And complicating some stuff so hard

But i really get ahead of myself so let's start from the begining

There's something big n'scary which called terrarias progression And I'll have to say it's quite brilliant you start from basically nothing Even let then nothing Cooper stuff And after that every bit of exploring fighting And... It's quite hard for me to say Fishing getting you closer to being a god

Well it's quite simplified so let's say it like that There's two factors of progression the world and your charecter Every time in the gameplay itll get stronger Whether by an upgrade like more life More mana better speed from some item

Or by accessories which gives special abilities and stats

And by weapons which are like weapons Different ways to punch an enemy

The different accessories armores and weapons are differing by class

Like i would say terrarias class system is quite varied and complex Almost every accessory item weapon ect And just to make it more friendly there's also sub classes Light combat Tank combat Range combat Yoyo combat

You got my point I would say it's cool the amount of classes And the amount of variations But also very complicated And you won't know what you ought to do just by your to upgrade and get the specific items Itd be literal hell to figure out all by yourself and take literally infinity (No jokin) Which is my big problem If you don't have a terraria boi as your friend Or the terraria wiki always on The game's hardly make sense And it could become really frustrating to always go on the wiki and stop everything Especially if it something basic like crafting

Second thing the game could get really grindy Like 2% chance drop from a hardly seen mob Like bro why

Specific items from bosses

Some crafting recipes

Third stuff I think there's a problem with the game physics you can swear you played an hour but somehow it turned 5

And these are some of my biggest problems with it The developers don't appreciate your time By making a game being so grindy

Yes. There are some more grinder games Which to be honest Makes me a bit sick And losing me some hope of the gaming industry

Now.... The second type of progression The world progression which made happen by defiting bosses

And just to say bout it It's wonderful there are so much creativity with the mobs Biomes bosses

And it all fits perfectly with your state in the game

Overall if you know what to do and keep precise about your class and the items of it you ought To expirment some of the best progression system ever known to man BUT if you don't know And don't plan anything out you ought to expirment some of the most frustrating And time consuming.

Terraria is a phenomenal sandbox adventure game that brilliantly blends exploration, crafting, and combat. Its 2D pixel art style is both nostalgic and charming, creating an engaging world teeming with diverse biomes and hidden treasures. The game's depth is astounding, offering endless possibilities with its vast array of items, enemies, and bosses. Multiplayer mode enhances the experience, fostering creativity and teamwork. The regular updates and passionate community further enrich the gameplay. For those seeking a game that rewards creativity and exploration, Terraria is a perfect 10/10. It's a timeless classic that captivates from start to finish.

I thought Terraria was just 2D Minecraft. I was WRONG. Within 5 minutes, a slime jumped on my head, a zombie kicked down my wooden door, and a disembodied eye came flying out of the night sky to beat me up like it owed me lunch money.

The game said, "Survive the night." I built a dirt box. The game said, "Good luck." A giant worm tunneled up from hell and said, "Nice house, shame if something happened to it."

Tried mining? Accidentally fell into a cave the size of Texas and got mobbed by skeletons with better gear than me. Tried fighting back? My sword is basically a butter knife.

The guide NPC just stands there smiling while I'm being murdered. He's definitely in on it.

Built a village for some NPCs, finally felt safe... until a blood moon started and zombies stormed the place like it was Black Friday at Walmart.

TL;DR: Terraria gave me trust issues, made me fear the moon, and taught me the ground is a lie. 10/10 would uninstall in terror again.
