Mhh..what to say?anything because this is best game ever for several motivations:
1-rpg part:it has all the things and mechanics that an rpg need:bosses(one-two dozen)a LOT of mobs (both enemies(like 200 pre-1.3)and critters),many npcs,an awesome number of weapons.
2-building part:terraria has a lot of blocks and furnitures for make EVERY building you can think about
3-survival? the best thing terraria has is this:difficulty,at the character creation you can chose softcore,mediumcore and hardcore but it doesn't count anything,simply beacusse in every mode you chose this game is EXTREMELY difficult:every boss needs the best equipment u can acquire for that boss(every boss is like a milestone,after one you can obtain new items and things in a specifical boss orders.
Don't judge this rewiew for my playin' hours of this game,i made a terrible mistake without wich i would have at least 1000 hours,seriously i spent years.
Bonus point:replay value,you can spend years on this game playing new adventures because everytime the story is rewritten and everytime...awesome.
The 30 of june the new update will be released and the game will have a lot of more things,after wich i'll make a new rewiew.
One last thing:comparing it with minecraft isn't possible,beacuse mc would have no chance.
