By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Terraria is kinda weird history with me. I played it long time ago (pirated) with my friend, but some sort the difficulty curved in hardmode turned me of completely with the game. I dont remember much, but i pretty stopped abruptly back then.
Now roughly 8++ years later, I finally decide to buy 4 packs and give this game to my friends. The challenge is either they can enjoyed the pixel art 2d style or not. Knowing now the game have a proper true ending + credit, I know i can reach satisfied conclusion at least. And it was a blast to play from beginning to the end. Just take note i played roughly in "3 playthrough", 2 with my friend server and one on my own. The ability for you to get absurdly powerful is what i enjoyed with the game. Things like digging through ground which tough in early game, became like hot knife cutting butter.
However the game arent perfect. The UI take some time to get used to. Despite the game have tons of quality of life improvement, there are still questionable / feature that Im curious why it is not added. Mostly the game are still relying on you have wiki / documentation on your 2nd monitor while modern crafting survival game will put some recipe ingredient in the game. The sheer amount of stuffs you can grab also overwhelmed my friends that he obssessively kept everything in chest while not necessary. As for my problem, some bosses required me to grind some times before finally i beaten them (mecha boss, cultist)
Terraria is fun game. Perhaps as one great game i played this year. Despite the challenges / problems, i think the sheer amount of stuff you can do in the game alone made it excellent for any type of players. Im hooked that I will try to 100% achievement the game next, and maybe beat the some other optional bosses.
