They really don't even overlap.

Freeform building and exploring, crafting, survival, pixel art, endless gameplay. There and definitely a lot of similarities, especially compared to say CS:GO.

Oh, and don't forget the insane modding communities.

You could have just described pal world minus the pixel art.

Probably the only reason I did not get into Terraria as an experienced Minecraft player is that my brain really hates 2D worlds.

I realize I miss out on many wonderful games, but how the hell do you feel comfortable restricted to one plane? This constantly makes me as a character feel I'm out in the open from two sides, and God knows what's there.

Maybe it's some weird quirk, but my brain is strictly 3-dimensional.

Do you feel the same about top down 2d? (Factorio, Stardew Valley, etc.)?

If you think about it, sidescrollers are just top down with a weird gravity.

Top down is better, but I'd still rather have even pseudo-3D (like in many strategy games for example, especially older ones).

But yeah, I often challenge my mind thinking that "down" is very arbitrary and is just normally takes along the weight force vector :D

From my experience, Valheim is pretty close to Terraria in the general feeling of progression and exploration. While being a 3D game, albeit with a third-person camera

Have you seen new gamers try to navigate 3D spaces? 2D is much more accessible to a lot of folks.

[-] Allero 1 points 4 days ago

I never challenged that notion - it's just that for me personally 2D is a nightmare and 3D is not.

Also quite different. I think Terraria is objectively better than base game Minecraft, though, after their respective updates (which I blame Microsoft monetization). When modded, they're both great games.

I still love working against the clock to stop corruption from taking over my Terraria planet, though. Reclaiming land is a thing I like, but there are mods like that in Minecraft too that are really fun of you're into it.
