Top 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. See More

Top 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.

Top Con

Switched from paid app to free with advertisements

For those that paid the $4.99 for the game with the understanding that it was a full title with no ads or in app purchases, their game will now have ads in it due to the fact that the studio has changed how the game is offered. Essentially screwing over those that supported the title by purchasing it. Currently the title will not show ads as long as it had been installed prior to the switch, but as soon as it is installed on a new device or deleted from an old one to be reinstalled, it will display advertisements. See More

Top Pro

Large map to play on

The map that gameplay takes place on is absolutely huge. See More

Top Con

May be difficult to play on small screen high resolution devices

On devices such as the Nexus 5 that have 1080p screens it may be difficult to play the game as objects will appear too small. See More

Top Pro

Story centric that changes with each playthrough

Mines of Mars is a story heavy game that allows for the user experience to be different upon each and every playthrough. See More
