What goes wrong
too hard eye of cthulhu is impossible
The start is super boring I doubt I would like this game later on too only play this game if u cant afford minecraft, good alternative I just don't like the game that much
Great game, the problem is the grind for newer weapons is BS
I had a character for 40 hours then it gets corrupted and lost forever. I love the game but why has this been a problem for almost 10 years ?
i hate the controls there diffrent than consle i could barly pause the game 0 stars 0/10 i recomnd it on conlse not on pc
What goes well

This game can be a nice game to mess around in Journey Mode (Terraria's version of "creative mode") and also a genuinely relaxing building game!
