I honestly didn’t expect much for this game but it was better than I thought.
Terraria is an interesting handled great in some way and questionable in others. I actually started playing Terraria in early 2021 because my best friend kept bugging me to play it with him. Before I even played, I really had no interest whatsoever and it thanks to my friend I was able to have a lot of fun. First off I just want to say I love the soundtrack. It suits the game very well and fits in perfectly with the pixel art style. This is pretty much a survival game where you can build what you want and go out into the world to collect resources to better improve yourself with many caves, secrets and loot to find. All with lots of enemy variety that will can sometimes kill you easily if you’re not prepared. And the boss fight are a great challenge to take on with friends. I also just want to say that I LOVE the amount of different weapons. With will have basic weapons to weapons with unique abilities and some simply just taken from media I love and enjoy. That also goes for clothing as well since I acquired a creeper costume from Minecraft. Exploring cave not knowing what I’ll find most of the time was just incredible and the art style made me get so invested to observe many of the biomes or caves I explore. But even with all of that I did often get boring. For me it just got repetitive after a while and it got to a point where I wouldn’t even play on my own time and that brings us to 2023. I really only played Terraria when my best friend came over and we would also play along with his girlfriend. Something I hated how the cross play is handled. In 2021 I was able to play on my PS5 while my friend played on his mobile phone. Back then it worked fine but today we can’t do that and we eventually started playing on our Switches instead. No idea what the developers did but that felt like a major low blow that they never addressed.
You can even do quests for random characters you’ll meet in the world you generate. It’s fun and all but other than that there isn’t really a story which is fine since not every video game needs a story to be cool like Terraria.
I think Terraria is a chill and fascinating game that executes many of its idea perfectly. The problem is these kinds of games don’t generally appeal since I’m not exactly the most creative gamer out there. I’ll continue to play at least when my friend is around, but this is where I stop generally playing Terraria and consider myself retired from this game.
