So I just played: Terraria (+ Calamity mod)
THIS. GAME. SLAPS.
Terraria is quite easly my favorite PC game of all time. So much so that I wouldn't say I just played it. In fact, I've been playing it since before version 1.3! And my god is it fun!
It's on most consoles these days, but I firmly believe the PC version is superior because of one thing: mods. There's a lot of mods for this game, from simple quality of life stuff (my favorite is Ore Excavator, lets you just instamine ore veins and it saves SO much time) to mods that add a whole slew of new content. Like the second part of this little review, the Calamity mod!
I'd only recommend playing Calamity once you get REALLY good at movement in vanilla Terraria (or if you have goated friends who can carry you, like I did when I first played lmao) because holy shit is Calamity challenging. But boy is it a fun challenge. It's one of those mods that just adds a lot of stuff. Biomes, weapons, items, enemies, soundtracks (seriously the Calamity soundtrack is just a lineup of bangers), and of course bosses.
My personal favorite is the Devourer of Gods; one, that name is RAW; two, the music SMACKS (phase 1 is called Scourge of the Universe, phase 2 is Universal Collapse, both are heavenly), and it's just a fun as hell endgame challenge that really tests your mettle. But I'm doing my first solo run and I'm not at that point yet. In fact, I only just killed Moon Lord the other day, and just earlier I did the first post-Moon Lord boss, the Profaned Guardians.
And the weapons are some of the coolest fucking things on the planet. My personal favorite is the Ark of the Cosmos, a melee weapon that you build up throughout the entire game, starting with the Fractured Ark early on and building it up to the Ark of the Ancients, Ark of the Elements (which I currently have in my solo run) and then of course Ark of the Cosmos. My other favorite is the crafting tree with the Pwnage Hammer, which I've currently made into the Stellar Contempt (can you tell I'm a melee enjoyer?).
As for biomes, don't really have a particular favorite. Sunken sea is very calming, but it's tedious to explore and you don't even need to go there. Sulphrous Sea is fun because it has the storm event and the Aquatic Scourge boss (which ALSO has a banger theme) but the Abyss below it is just straight ASS to explore. I guess I'd say the Astral Infection because it's just straight vibes, and Astrum Deus is both fun and useful to fight.
But yeah, overall, I rate Terraria a 9/10 (it has some minor issues but it's damn near perfect) and Calamity a 8/10. Both of them slap.
