Terraria

Unbelievable game. I bought this the day after it came out in 2011 and immediately fell in love. I must have had 100s of hours in it before they tracked time played and well before they had any achivements. I loved it so much I went back in 2016 to play it again. Apaprently they've add more content today, 5/17/2020, so I shall be playing it again. It was amazing because I also played Minecraft around this time, and while I loved the exploration in Minecraft, there was no real progression. Terraria had all the exploration and a fucking fantastic progression. The sheer amount of things to do. And just the challenge of trying to explore and craft up to the next tier was one of the best things ever. Oh man what a good game.
