Terraria
SCORE: 70
We received a surprise delivery recently
of Terraria on the Nintendo Switch. It has been five years since we last
played and reviewed Terraria. This home console crafting and building
video game has been described as the 2D Minecraft. We dig, fight
monsters, and build things. Crafting is a big part of Terraria. It took
me a bit to adapt to the controls in Terraria. Thankfully they are
customizable if you prefer a different button layout.
Terraria looks good and sounds good on the Nintendo Switch. Terraria
does contain blood, gore, violence, and mild suggestive content. The
blood, gore, and violence are visual. Other content is found in the
dialogue in Terraria. Monsters break into pieces after we destroy them.
There are plenty of mythical creatures to destroy in Terraria. This home
console and hand held video game earns its thirteen and older only
rating. I would love to see a more family friendly mode included for
Terraria.
If you have never played Terraria before and own a Nintendo Switch then
this game may interest you. The learning curve in Terraria can be a bit
steep at first. I forgot how to do so much in Terraria. I sought
assistance and was able to get things moving in this sandbox video game.
I wish Terraria let us pause though. Monsters will still come after you
while you are in the menu screens. Which still feels odd to me.
There are over 3,500 items to find and craft in Terraria. There are also
over 300 enemies, and twenty bosses and events to battle in this video
game. Older members of the family who have been waiting on Terraria can
get a lot of content on the Nintendo Switch. Plus Terraria comes in the
much respected physical copy format. I am very thankful we were sent the
retail version of Terraria on the Nintendo Switch.
I enjoy games like Terraria. I appreciate Terraria coming to the
Nintendo Switch. I love how Terraria encourages us to build things. The
more I played Terraria the more I could see why so many people love this
franchise. I also know people with addiction problems should steer clear
of Terraria. Why is that? This is one of those games that is very
addicting. Just do one more thing. Go on one more quest. That kind of
thing.
