The core premise of the game is something like 2d Minecraft but much more rich in weapons and bosses
But lacks some basic fundamental qualities which prevent it from being a great sandbox
And complicating some stuff so hard
But i really get ahead of myself so let's start from the begining
There's something big n'scary which called terrarias progression
And I'll have to say it's quite brilliant you start from basically nothing
Even let then nothing
Cooper stuff
And after that every bit of exploring fighting
And... It's quite hard for me to say
Fishing getting you closer to being a god
Well it's quite simplified so let's say it like that
There's two factors of progression the world and your charecter
Every time in the gameplay itll get stronger
Whether by an upgrade like more life
More mana better speed from some item
Or by accessories which gives special abilities and stats
And by weapons which are like weapons
Different ways to punch an enemy
The different accessories armores and weapons are differing by class
Like i would say terrarias class system is quite varied and complex
Almost every accessory item weapon ect
And just to make it more friendly there's also sub classes
Light combat
Tank combat
Range combat
Yoyo combat
You got my point
I would say it's cool the amount of classes
And the amount of variations
But also very complicated
And you won't know what you ought to do just by your to upgrade and get the specific items
Itd be literal hell to figure out all by yourself and take literally infinity
(No jokin)
Which is my big problem
If you don't have a terraria boi as your friend
Or the terraria wiki always on
The game's hardly make sense
And it could become really frustrating to always go on the wiki and stop everything
Especially if it something basic like crafting
Second thing the game could get really grindy
Like 2% chance drop from a hardly seen mob
Like bro why
Specific items from bosses
Some crafting recipes
Third stuff
I think there's a problem with the game physics you can swear you played an hour but somehow it turned 5
And these are some of my biggest problems with it
The developers don't appreciate your time
By making a game being so grindy
Yes. There are some more grinder games
Which to be honest
Makes me a bit sick
And losing me some hope of the gaming industry
Now....
The second type of progression
The world progression which made happen by defiting bosses
And just to say bout it
It's wonderful there are so much creativity with the mobs
Biomes
bosses
And it all fits perfectly with your state in the game
Overall if you know what to do and keep precise about your class and the items of it you ought To expirment some of the best progression system ever known to man
BUT if you don't know
And don't plan anything out you ought to expirment some of the most frustrating
And time consuming.
