  My games library is so huge, and I suffer from choice paralysis all the time.

  Terraria. Every time I fire up the deck to buy a new game, a few days later I am back to Terraria.

    I like the game (as well as the similar Starbound) but every time I play it, I wish that it had more ability to create stuff that does things. Like, more Noita-style interactions with the world or Factorio-style automation.

      This 100%. I looooove Noita and any deep systems-driven games where players explore, discover, and create content for years.

      One of my favourite things is the sudden discovery that a game is much bigger and more open-ended than I thought. Especially when it happens dozens of hours in.

        I’ve been playing a lot of terraria with my son recently, it’s been a lot of fun going back to it. Coincidentally, I just saw the trailer for Noita for the first time last night, and thought “woah, that looks cool as hell…”

      I die too fast in Noita to get too deep into it… I liked what I played of it though. Something about Starbound made it feel like Temu Terraria… I can’t put my finger on why it feels so … fake? Like physics or the way the player model moves and interacts with blocks is off or something.

      Have you looked at mods? I’m sure I saw an auomation mod for Terraria a while back.

      Same might be true for starbound. But I don’t know much about its mods.

    I suppose in a few months, after this current round of Minecraft, I’ll be pulled into Terraria again. I had a pretty good head of steam on the way to finishing my 2 year old run of BG3 when I made the mistake of opening Minecraft… Terraria is about the only thing that could rival minecraft in addictive qualities for me. It has the added benefit that I can talk my wife into playing Terraria but she won’t touch minecraft.

      There’s a group working on a terraria mod pack with all of the big mods with custom integrations. It’s very cool.
