Comment on Terraria developer bashes Unity, donates $200k to open source alternatives
stephenc@lemmy.world 1 year agoOne of the, if not the best games in the last 15+ years.
I’m not exaggerating. At all. I am not a fan of a vast majority of “popular” modern games and think gaming has been on the decline since the mid-90s. Terraria is the one shining, beautiful, wonderful spot in a massive pile of garbage “AAA” and “modern indie” titles that just gets gameplay right, with no gimmicks, no BS, no story, nothing but gameplay.
It’s one of my favorite games of all time. So all this makes me very happy.

Out of curiosity can you define “no boring intrusive story”? Because personally I’m big on storylines, so if they nail that part then that takes the game to a whole other level

Yeah, no story period. Which is good for some people, not so much for others

I tried playing Terraria but gave up after an hour or so, precisely because I expected at least some kind of story and there wasn’t. It was also very awkward to control with a mouse and keyboard, I think it’s really supposed to be played with a controller. I might try it again now that I’ve got one, and less expectations

In some games storyline matters, in others… not so much. Games with a storyline trend to be less replayable in my experience. One exception I can think of is This War of Mine, that game is really depressing.
