This won't be a full review, as I didn't play the game long enough to consider everything. Instead, it'll just be some thoughts on how I felt about the game, mostly in comparison to Minecraft, since the two are conceptually similar in a lot of ways.
Terraria is a 2D adventure-RPG focused on exploring and mining -- much like Minecraft, minus one D. There's a TON of content -- many mineral types, monsters, and environments, as well as gear and craftable items and objects. Unlike the games from which it draws inspiration, Terraria features a city-building component, where by building housing and completing certain goals, you can recruit NPCs to provide services.
