The game so intense, yet calming in the same time. atleast for me.

This game is boss progress based game. not like minecraft that is creativity based game.
So the game won't progress if you don't fight the necessary bosses. Unlike minecraft, that you able to get everything you want without even beating the bosses (atleast not Dragon Egg or Nether Star). In Terraria you need to fight the bosses first.

The Gameplay is similar to any other Platformer game, like Mario Brothers, Celeste, etc.
But in terraria, you able to build a building with blocks like minecraft.

I love sandbox games, especially when they have Building technic. Mostly, I spent my time with building on terraria. after that, maybe fishing. fishing in this game have a big role. because you be able to get anything you need even if the things you wanted doesnt rendered on the world you be playing in.
