==Gameplay==
Terraria has always been recognized by how similar its gameplay is to Minecraft's gameplay. The game has a day and night cycle, many enemies like colored slimes and zombies, NPCs, and a wide variety of blocks and items.
When they first start the game, the player has a copper shortsword, a copper pickaxe, a copper axe, and 5 hearts, equal to 100 health. A guide, the player's first NPC they meet, will appear nearby, and help them start off the game. He also shows the player crafting recipes that use items they have in their inventory. Then, the player must build a house for themselves and the guide, and once there is an available room for the guide, he will move in.
Terraria has three different game modes to choose from: softcore, mediumcore, and hardcore. If the player selects softcore, they lose half of their coins when they die. If they select mediumcore, they lose all items, coins and ammo when they die. And if hardcore is selected, when the player dies, they drop all items and turn into a ghost. After they disconnect, the ghost leaves the player selection screen and the player has to make a new character.
==Reception==
Terraria received an 83/100 on Metacritic, 4/5 stars on Gameblog.fr, and a 9/10 on GameZone.
