Pros
Pro Contrasting bright and happy graphics against the suspenseful survival gameplay makes for a game that creates a feeling 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, This contrast makes for an ever growing sense of urgency in the game, in order to craft a safe space as well as weapons to protect oneself.
Pro Playing with groups of friends allows for endless scenarios of building and destruction
Up to 8 players can join a shared Terraria world, including the worlds that are used in single-player mode. This allows for large co-op or PvP games. Build something big together, or destroy the other guy’s base. The scenarios are endless.
Pro Rewarding progression system that hinges on your own collecting and crafting abilities
The vast majority of items in Terraria can be used to create other items, often requiring specific crafting stations (which themselves must be crafted). This is the core of character advancement, since gear defines nearly everything about your character. The better ones gear is, the longer they can survive, thus rewarding the players who work the hardest at it.
