haven't beaten the game or even entered hard mode but i can confidently say, its such a fun experience especially with friends. gonna do the XDdDD compare Minecraft rq but Terraria is a MUCH MUCH more focused gaming experience than Minecraft has been since 1.7.10 it aint even funny. the combat in this game isnt even that crazy but its how fluid everything is and how you just keep going and going and progressing and progressing to the next level of gear and theres always a boss to fight you at that level or random world events like the goblin raids that are so epic compared to the dumb pillager invasions. this game is also insanely multiplayer friendly. the only thing minecraft has over it is its much more of a focused building make your own thing out of it game but imo last 10 patches for mc have added really intrusive or random things that break up this chill vibe the game used to have, like to be completely fair terraria is NOT a building my own pretty little castle type of game. its very focused and there are things the game actively wants you to go and find, the reason i bring up minecraft and its recent updates is because i feel like it only dips the tips of the toes in content with alot of depth, where as terraria embraces it and its super good and well done. instant microwave classic.
