Terraria is an addictive, systems-heavy, 2D sandbox-survival game that offers exploration, crafting, and combat, where you must defeat enemies and gather resources to build increasingly powerful weapons, armor and housing for NPCs. With pixelated visuals, great controls, and sound, Terraria provides hours of entertainment and is a must-have for Minecraft fans looking for something different in this genre.
What we like:
Addictive gameplay
Pixelated 2D sprites that are beautifully designed
Complex systems-heavy gameplay
The game has a purpose to serve with the housing of NPCs
Great and responsive controls
What could be improved:
The game has too many shortcuts and menus, which may overwhelm new players
Not a lot of screen space on small touch-screen devices
