    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 is an action-platformer game with a survival adventure core. But above all, is a great 2D sandbox game with gameplay endless options.

    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.

    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 showDo 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 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 ;).

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