One of many greats crosses an enormous milestone

Terraria is a kind of video games that has a easy premise, however it’s so nicely executed, it’s secured a spot as top-of-the-line video games of all time. I got here to understand it as kind of a 2D model of Minecraft (though that’s one thing of an oversimplification), and it actually gained traction within the mid-2010s when it obtained picked up by the Let’s Play group on YouTube. Terraria is extremely well-loved to at the present time, and is now one of many best-reviewed video games on Steam. That’s as a result of Terraria has surpassed over one million evaluations on the platforms, and whereas it’s not the primary title to take action, it’s the first title with over one million evaluations that has additionally maintained its “overwhelmingly constructive” standing.

Particularly, these evaluations are nonetheless 97% constructive, with 978,864 constructive evaluations and 21,444 adverse ones. That lands Terraria because the second-best reviewed sport on Steam of all time, after Valve’s beloved traditional Portal 2. Nonetheless, it did handle to beat out Stardew Valley, Hades, and Left 4 Useless 2, simply to call a number of.

Like Minecraft, Terraria‘s group remains to be going sturdy, and its developer Re-Logic remains to be producing new content material for the sport (in addition to offering quality-of-life updates) over ten years after its launch.

The most recent replace 1.4.4, referred to as the Labor of Love replace, will probably be launched someday in late September, and also will be the sport’s first simultaneous cross-platform launch for each console and PC.

Whereas I did have a short Minecraft part, I by no means did give Terraria a attempt, even after watching loads of my favourite YouTubers give it a return within the day. Based mostly on these overwhelmingly constructive evaluations, nevertheless, it seems like I’ve no selection however to present it a attempt one in every of lately. One other superior sport so as to add to the checklist!
