    Great Sidescroller

    Graphics: Great-  8-Bit inspired and really fun to see the pixelated world!  Some animations are slightly inaccurate but I figure that's not a game breaker 
     Music/Atmosphere: Great! I love the fact that it does get a time period / sun rotation in this game, and the different music makes the world seem a lot bigger and less... sandboxy 
    Objectives:  There is a clear set of objectives and an unclear way of achieving them, I love that-- some people don't. 
    All in all I'd argue that this game is essentially what would happen if you could edit levels in an old side scroller (like Captain Comic or something) 
     
    I loved it and I like the multiplayer but think PVP is useless.

      Fun with friends. 0

      It's easy to say Terraria is 2D minecraft, and hell I think I've said that to several people who have asked me about it, but it's much more than that. It takes minecraft concepts and puts a real game around it (a fun one at that). You do all the minecraft things like chopping down trees, smashing up stones, and building a shelter, but you end up exploring massive dungeons with boss fights, discovering underground forests, and using your jetpack to fly a floating island. This game has depth! I...
