I like Animal Crossing and Minecraft.

Perhaps I should try Terreria?

Terraria is kinda like 2D Minecraft but with a longer but more linear progression path instead of being just a more Freeform sandbox. Kinda like some Minecraft modpacks.

Also lots more combat.

My friend likes Terraria, and I like Minecraft.

This is because he enjoys gameplay where there is technical progression and objectives. Things to 'do' and reasons to get stronger.

I enjoy gameplay where the objectives are mostly just goals I set for myself, and I have freedom for creative expression.

In Minecraft I can spend forever working on aesthetic builds or complex redstone contraptions, whereas once my friend has exhausted all the progression in the game he finds it boring.

Conversely, although Terraria does allow for building and furnishing nice bases/homes, the 2D nature is limiting for me vs 3D and can't satisfy my desire to build, so I'm not into it.

They day after my wedding, we had an extra ceremony on my minecraft server, which has been running continuously for at least a decade.

I don't personally play that much anymore but i still consider it my favorite game and i will return to it when life gets me particularly down, its therapy, its home.

I also have a decent amount of co-op hours in terraria... it's an ok game i guess.

I'd say Terraria is more of an RPG than either of the other two, if that matters. Boss fights, gear progression, etc. It's amazing, but it's not quite the same. There is still a lot of building creativity space, though, if that's your jam.

Absolutely. Terraria is far more exploration, arpg.

You should try Terraria.

Then get into mods. Calamity is absolutely amazing.

The mod scene is so strong and expands the game so much.

I want to say it's ok and isn't amazing, but I now have over 1,000 hours in it. I think I lost the ability to say it isn't a good game about 900 hours of playtime ago 😅

Terraria is more fun to play but Minecraft is more fun to watch. It's one of the few games I've got hundreds of hours playing solo.
