Terraria kind of left me feeling… mixed? IDK, at least the main quest, made me feel kind of sour afterwards. It really isn't a bad game; hell, I enjoyed it quite a bit and still do. But I do feel like the game kind of got better, and simultaneously fell off in hardmode. If you didn’t know, most of Terraria’s progression is based on killing bosses. Many of these bosses are pretty well designed; particularly in the EARLY game. But the late hardmode bosses are really, really dogshit. A lot of them feel poorly designed around the player’s moveset and hitboxes, but not even considering that, a lot are a fucking bitch to summon, PARTICULARLY in hardmode. While the mech bosses and the Golem are pretty easy to summon on their own, the rest are quite annoying to even attempt. Plantera requires you to find a small bulb in the Jungle Underground, which takes forever. And then you have to go through the process of building an arena, prepping your NPCs, potions, etc. And if you die? Find a new bulb, because fuck you. And then the Moon Lord can be annoying to summon because if you fail too many times, you have to start the whole Lunar Events over again. That's just an annoying design choice IMO, maybe they could've had Moon Lord be a random spawn at night like the Eye of Cthulhu? And if you aren't ready to face him, just go underground for a few minutes. I get that they want players to get prepared for the harder fights in the game, but still. As a random example, The Binding of Isaac (which has a lot of parallels I could make here) has you face bosses needed for progression that you could face by chance, but they also had guaranteed methods (albeit more difficult methods) of achieving the same end goal. For example, you can kill Hush by taking Mama Mega in a shop, or by killing Mom’s Heart in 30 minutes. I could totally imagine something like this working for Terraria too, and they actually DO this, but only for certain bosses. And then we have the boss fights themselves. What happened here? Golem is probably my least favorite fight in the whole game. You're in a cramped as fuck area and there's traps everywhere. You can't even mine around you to build a semi-decent arena. So you just end up getting your shit wrecked with barely any room to dodge. And while I found the Lunatic Cultists to be a really great fight, the Towers were such an anti-climax. They're not even that hard, they're just annoying. You have to kill a hundred enemies that deal nearly a fourth of your HP. They aren't that hard to dodge, but they trip me up on occasion. And then you fight the Tower… and they suck, too. They barely even attack you, so you can just spam the Terra Blade until they die. At least they have good drops! And the Moon Lord himself… this fight just confuses me if anything. There's so much small shit on screen that deals a bunch of damage, and the massive ”fuck you” laser (with NO visual telegraph btw) does a shit ton of damage. It felt like a fluke if anything when I killed the boss. Now, to any of these, you could say “skill issue”. And TBH yeah I see where you're coming from. But I did nearly everything according to the wiki (minus one accessory and getting 500 HP; I had 480), and I still wasn't sure why I died at points. But for every bad thing I have to say about Terraria, I still think I can recommend this game. For one, the boss fights! For every Moon Lord and the four fucking Towers, there are lots of good bosses! The Empress of Light is easily the best fight in the game, being a great test of your moveset, being ACTUALLY FUCKING TELEGRAPHED, and also just being visually stunning. Also, the fucking music. That's all. While I don't like summoning Plantera, making his arena and finally killing him was very satisfying. It helps that he’s an easier boss to kill. I'm a fan of the Mechanical bosses, too. They were a nice upgrade in difficulty from the original bosses. Another thing I love about Terraria is its music. Do I even need to say anything about the Terraria soundtrack? It's popular for a reason. My favorite tracks would be “Mushrooms”, “Boss 1”, “Boss 2”, and of course, “Empress of Light”. I also love the fact that Terraria has progressive difficulty, making sure the game is never too easy, nor too hard. And despite my quarrels with Terraria’s Hardmode bosses, I absolutely love the new items in Hardmode. They transform Terraria from “oh it's just 2d minecraft” into something that can easily stand on it's own. And do I even need to say anything about the large amount of content in Terraria? One of my best friends on the internet (@DragonMals) has over 3000 hours in it, and more in tModLoader. I myself have been enjoying it for years at this point. So yeah, I do like this game. Quite a bit, actually. But I'm not head over heels for it, per se. I might go back for a few playthroughs every now and then, but for now at least, I think I'm finished. Overall, I'd give it around an 6/10. A good game, but it's a loooooong shot from a masterpiece.
