10 Lies That Stopped You Playing Awesome Video Games

2. Terraria Is Sideways Minecraft

Mass Effect Andromeda Worst Game Ever
Re-Logic

This one pains me on a personal level. Firstly, Terraria has so much to offer a player who's into fantasy-adventure worlds, crafting, survival, exploration and boss fights. Secondly, how is sideways Minecraft a bad thing? That sounds like an amazing compliment to me. Then again, the people who stopped themselves enjoying Terraria because it’s like Minecraft, are the people who didn’t try Minecraft because it’s for kids.

Assumptions are a vicious circle and Terraria is truly one of the greats in its field of adventure sandboxes, taking what Minecraft made popular and stretching it in every direction imaginable. Well, four directions if we’re speaking literally, but you get the point. What’s more is that, in the ten years of its lifespan, Re-Logic are only just releasing the final content drop for Terraria. Journey’s End is said to double the amount of content already in the game and end development with a bang.

Sure, if you think every game with crafting and mining is, incorrectly, Minecraft, then plenty of games have copied Mojang. However, if you look at a game in depth, at what it truly offers, Re-Logic took the craft, mine, explore, build formula and went above and beyond what you could possibly imagine from a 2D view model.
