Terraria

Fun combat

•••
It starts out simple, with you whacking away at slow moving zombies and flying eyes, gradually shifting to more fierce and fearsome enemies such as flying demons, agile lizardmen, and many more. To survive you'll have to be always on the move, dodge enemy attacks, and be accurate when you retal...

Allows for freedom of expression for all ages, all at your own pace

•••
Terraria has all kinds of tools and materials you can use to build whatever you can imagine. From housing, to furniture, to weapons, to types of structure, the possibilities are almost endless. This is great for children who enjoy building and problem solving, and for adults who enjoy the same. It...

Playing with friends allows for endless scenarios

•••
Up to 8 players can join any Terraria world. You can progress through the game normally, build a race course and compete in it, or split into factions and wage war against each other. The scenarios are endless, you just have to let loose your creativity.

Top Con

Low replay value for those who play it as an adventure game

•••
Terraria is a sandbox platform-adventure game, so it partly hinges on beating various bosses. If you play it purely for the sake of defeating all the bosses, you might have little else to do afterwards. Restarting the game won't be as enjoyable either because you'll already know what to exp...

Top Con

Progress can feel slow

•••
Quite often you'll have to collect tons of materials to craft the necessary tools, equipment, and boss summoning items to advance. This can take a really long time, especially if you're unlucky with the items dropped by mobs.

Enjoy creating and playing your own game or thousands of other games available

•••
You can create your own original game and play it, and have others play your game too. As of 2017, Roblox has over 500,000 game creators designing games. That's a lot of games made by players like you, so you'll never run out of options on what to play.

Gives more flexibility when it comes to building

•••
Since creations are not limited to cubes, you are given more choices. Players can fully customize the size of the blocks, and make wedges and hills that are not cube-like.

The game is free to play

•••
You'll be able to create your own games and play without paying for anything. Though they do have virtual currency that they call Robux, which you have to buy with real cash. You only have to do so if you want to upgrade the look of your avatar or get optional in-game power-ups. Like with most...

Offers a safe chat mode for kids under 13 and a parent's login

•••
Since Roblox is used mostly by younger players, a primary concern for parents when it comes to interactive and multi-player online games have always been the safety of their children from online predators and inappropriate behavior. Roblox has this covered with their safe chat mode, and a parent c...

Creative skills are made exciting with survival skills

•••
You're not just aimlessly creating different worlds and playing with people, you're actually trying to survive while going on exhilarating journeys. You get to explore dark and scary-looking caves, just to see how far back it actually goes. Animals bite back, your character gets hungry and...

Different modes are available and can be chosen by the players

•••
In game mode, you can choose: Challenging, Cruel, Creative, Harmless, and Adventure. Except for Cruel, which you can only choose during the creation of the world, game modes can be altered at any time. With Adventure, you should already have a created world in order to switch to this mode, only th...

Lots of nice effects and animals

•••
Some thoughtfully made things are available on Survivalcraft like lightning, nice water and light effects. Even the wide variety of animals, like the bears, wild cats, and even fishes are beautiful.
