It's crazy how successful they've been off just making and selling a good indie game. They're still doing free updates AND they can afford a $200k donation?
One of the, if not the best games in the last 15+ years.
I'm not exaggerating. At all. I am not a fan of a vast majority of "popular" modern games and think gaming has been on the decline since the mid-90s. In a massive pile of garbage "AAA" and "modern indie" titles, Terraria is the one shining, beautiful, wonderful spot that just gets gameplay right, with no gimmicks, no BS, no boring intrusive story, nothing but good, solid gameplay.
It's one of my favorite games of all time. So all this makes me very happy.
Out of curiosity can you define "no boring intrusive story"? Because personally I'm big on storylines, so if they nail that part then that takes the game to a whole other level
In some games storyline matters, in others... not so much. Games with a storyline trend to be less replayable in my experience. One exception I can think of is This War of Mine, that game is really depressing.
