Is Terraria Worth $1 an Hour?

Hey everyone G Scotty here in this series I try to get an hour of gameplay for every dollar spent on a certain game so with that in mind is Terraria worth $1 an hour make sure to subscribe hit that like button and let’s check it out there is a very specific genre of

Games that for the life of me I can never get into no matter how hard I try that my friend is the sandbox genre I admit I can see the appeal of games like Minecraft or Roblox it sounds really cool having a world to discover while you create your own narrative and

Adventure as someone who likes to write stories and lore you think something like that would be right up my alley uh spoiler alert it it’s not I think it’s the same reason why I have haven’t ever really cared about open world games besides a few exceptions it’s just so

Much to do to the point where I get paralyzed because I don’t even know what I want to do and then I just give up on the game alt together I’m pretty sure I’m one of like two people that feel that way so I completely understand if

You disagree with my opinions I just need a narrative or a goal to drive me forward like I said before my favorite thing to do in a video game is experience a compelling story or feel like I’m getting closer to an end goal if the game doesn’t have that I lose

Interest pretty quickly not too long ago some of my friends were getting a game called Terraria because we wanted to play a game where we could all play together I bought the game and we never played it you can always count on the boys to throw you the strangest of

Curveballs I still love you guys don’t worry but yeah I had Terraria and I was going through my backlog on stream and some of the people in chat wanted to see me play it so I played it for a while and I promp completely forgot about it afterwards fast forward to the present

Day here I am making my livelihood off of judging video games based on if they have an hour of gameplay per dollar spent on it mixed with my own very very strange opinions and I see that I still have this game that costs $10 collecting dust in my steam

Library I mean heck why Not Terraria is a Sandbox game with some action and adventure elements thrown into the mix that was developed by Rel logic in 2011 hey this game is almost 5 years old now that’s what oh gosh I need to sit down uh anyway this 13 uh this 13-year-old game is held in

High regard to this day you adventure around a randomly generated ecosystem finding enemies Gathering Treasure spelunking and so much more it really is the definition of a make your own adventure type of game the game has very lovely pixel art accompanied with a very simple yet atmospheric and funky

Soundtrack that makes your adventures Outdoors a real treat crafting in this game is essential whether it’s to invite NPCs into your home make better tools and craft potions and things to help you in the tides of battle I will say if you don’t know exactly exactly what to do or how to

Craft something it can be very daunting like look at this what is my ADHD riddled brain supposed to do with all this but oh bunny the actions that you take whether they be fighting digging or chopping down trees is pretty archaic and simple but that isn’t necessarily A

Bad Thing a simplistic design is often more effective than an incredibly complex one especially in a game like this I will say though the digging in this game maybe it’s just a me thing but golly it’s the most annoying thing in the entire world sometimes I’ll just be

Mining away with my little pickaxe enjoying myself when suddenly I won’t be able to move forward what’s up with oh it’s the tinest speck of dirt just floating in the air it’s so annoying and it happens all the time people keep telling me there’s an autod dig toggle

And I I tried it it it just doesn’t feel right to me I don’t know what to tell you it’s a shame because exploring underground is my favorite part of the game well either way I’d be lying if I didn’t say that the aesthetic of this

Game was captivating I can see why so many people love this game it’s freeing just being able to look around and say hm yeah I’m going go do this today but once again I’m just normally not into that kind of stuff and this was quickly proving to be no exception

So this game just doesn’t have a story you’re placed into a world now go make something out of it I know this is just my opinion I know my opinions are very very weird but games like that just aren’t really what I’m fond of I wasn’t

Vibing with this game and that made me really sad I wanted to like it so very badly I really do but a few hours in all all I wanted to do was play something else I don’t know I just felt really lonely all by myself I was planning on

Giving this game my own personal rating of maybe on a discount and calling it a day but that dear viewer is when everything changed one of my dear childhood friends the one the only the incredibly handsome Jake reached out to me and said hey we’re playing Terraria

Together I and I was like I bet I had the time of of my life playing this game with my good friend Jake I thought it’d be fun to show you some of the highlights of our adventures so grab some popcorn and your beverage of choice and check out the adventures of two

Absolute nerds get out of here right get away from him I’m warning you I oh no I killed the bunny no what is wrong with us heck yeah so you push Escape too corre I found a peach okay yes maybe I still can’t put it up there maybe it

Doesn’t need to be that high no it has to be this High okay perfect okay and oh dear oh shoot um brother yeah they they also take out doors I forgot about that our main objective right now is to dig the Sick Enough no dang it oh look at that

Surface how the Dum slimes get down here how’ the Dum slimes get oh a heart cool yeah I’m I’m going dig my way oh there’s a penguin did you see the penguin oh yeah I did did I found a deadly umbrella nice the threat has been neutralized oh there’s a door down here

Kind yeah these uh better pickaxes are definitely nicer definitely better definitely better better pickaxes are better who know cool what a sentence oh I see like purple glowing rock is that a good thing see oh yeah that’s good stuff all right let’s get for sure I just

Really wanted to get that chest that was underwater yeah you do man is it going to flood or this area or um no I will do it in a way that it does not there okay it would be kind of funny if it did and

Then just how am I going to do this I’m going to dig up and then dig down and then yeah that’s what we’re going to do what a smart man that’s why you graduated college and I did not I I haven’t graduated college yet oh

Actually yeah the fair’s name is now Charlie birtha Charlie that’s her full name Hermes boots away oh gosh that’s awesome thank you do you have do you have some heres boots of your own no I don’t I just wanted to see you try I thought it would be fun dude

It’s the best gift I’ve ever gotten so this game rocks no flaws with it Whatsoever terraria’s Open Fields and boundless Freedom can be daunting at first and might not be for everyone however if you get your friends in on the fun I tell you what the quality of this game really shines through it’s meant to be played with multiple people

In my humble opinion for me the game is a celebration of capturing a simpler time where you could play pretend with your friends take down the monsters and be the heroes of your own story I’m incredibly blessed and grateful to have such a great friend who took the time

Out of his busy schedule to embark on a goofy misadventure with me through the winding tunnels and vast fields of a video game it’s moments like that that I’ll treasure forever if you want a game to play on your own I’m sure some people will find Terraria enjoyable but if

You’re anything like me who likes games with a bit more structured to them this game probably won’t do anything for you however if you’re looking for a game to relax and play with your friends well this game might just be the thing you’re looking for so what’s the final verdict

Is Terraria worth $1 an hour if you’re playing by yourself maybe on a discount but if you’re playing with your homies yes and give me DLC once again a big thank you to Jake for playing this game with me and for helping me with this review I appreciate

  1. As someone who has been playing terraria since 2012ish, has a couple thousand hours in it and when asked my opinion of it i reply ''Its alright.'', I can confirm that it is a game that gets better the more you know about the game, the gear progression is great and there is ALOT of bosses to fight and things to do, which sets it wildly apart from minecraft , there is a story in a sense, there is proper progression, like once you beat the wall of flesh in hell you unlock hardmode which changes the entire world, thousands of new items, new mobs, new biomes etc, when you kill skeletron who guards the dungeon you lift the curse that now lets you enter it, when you beat the spirit of the jungle you can access the jungle temple, when you defeat the lunatic cultist you bring about the luna invasion of the mood god basically. HOWEVER all of this story is stuff you never get to know until playing through the game, normally at least a couple times to fully get. a very nice aspect is also Tmodloader, a modded platform on steam, officially supported by the devs, with some of the terraria devs even aiding in improving platform AND making mods , and ofc there is lots of mods that add a couple items or make a slight change, but oh boy, there is so many HUGE game changing mods, like Calamity, which adds 63 main bosses, 26 mini bosses, several new game modes, thousands of items etc, and thats one of many mods to this level of content. The game DEFINITELY shines with friends, Good video!

  2. Terraria is honestly one of my top games of all time and it’s a shame you didn’t get further, you have so many fun yet intense bosses like the mech bosses, wall of flesh, empress of light and so so many more, then with all the builds people have made with the thousands of blocks, constant upgrades all unique to your preference with different classes like mage, warrior, ranger and summoner, and the absolute fun and laughs you get from playing with a homie, but even alone I’ve had great times in this game. Because it’s sandbox there are almost no limits, and honestly if it weren’t for this game being 2D I’d say it has a million time’s more creativity then Minecraft could ever have, every small detail shows the love that you know was put in this game, and all that love created one of my personal best games. If there is a game that you should ever do a revisit I’d definitely say terraria with how much you missed out on

  3. im the same in the fact that im not a fan of openworld and sandbox but terraria is my exeption . i feel its because i know what to do so it doesnt feel goalless.

  4. Terraria is a game that I have had about 3000 hours in as a straight A student if you get it there is no hope and I haven't even gotten into mods yet.
    One thing if you want to progress I say read the wiki god I have stared at that thing for so long that I memorized all the aspects that I like. It is a shame you never went further but oh well that is life

  5. I feel like a lethal company video would be good for this series I have around 10 hours and it cost 10 dollars and its definitely worth it
