The gameplay consists of starting in a randomly generated world where the player must survive by collecting objects that can be crafted into equipment and building materials. The equipment is used to protect oneself from enemies while the building materials are used to create shelters. It is an open ended game that has no specific goals other than survive.

Pros
Pro Survival-horror elements give a sense of urgency
Instead of building a deliberate feeling of suspense, Terraria uses bright palettes and arcade action to provide a fun experience outside of the survival elements. When those elements gradually appear one by one, each is all the more shocking from the contrast which makes for an ever growing sense of urgency in the game to craft a safe space as well as weapons to protect oneself.

Pro There is lots to explore and find
Terraria has a randomly generated world with all kinds different areas to explore, items to find and craft, and secrets to unearth. There is a basic introduction to the game, but mostly everything revolves around experimenting and exploring.

Cons
Con Risk of losing data
Many users have reported that they have lost save games as well as cloud save files. Whether it is caused by the game updating or just random bugginess is still unknown as the devs have not responded to these issues.
Con Cloud saving is broken
Currently cloud saving is broken so that means you can build your world but it sits in your phone. You cannot back it up, you cannot sync it with other devices, nor even manually backup unless your device is rooted.
