How True Are Terraria’s Negative Reviews? #terraria

Terraria has a bunch of negative reviews on Steam, but are any of them actually true? Let’s check them out. To be honest, I don’t really get the premise of Terraria. I feel it is a tad bit too boring for my liking. I prefer more action-filled games. Although, you may argue that with my under 1-hour play time, I can’t really experience the game. Obviously, this is not true. Considering Terraria is a 2D sandbox, the amount of boss fights and combat involved in the game makes it very action-packed. Game gets annoying because of biome spread. I entered hard mode and the corruption was next to my house. Like, what am I supposed to do? I think this is a complaint that every Terraria player can totally agree with. I can’t even count how many times I’ve had a base somewhere that gets corrupted at the start of hard mode, and it really is terrible. I think biome spread should definitely be nerfed in one way or another. Remove green hornets. Very true. Seriously though, green hornets got to be one of the most annoying enemies in Terraria. Leaving a negative review because of them is totally valid.

  1. To be fair the first guy DID say that it might be because he doesn’t have that much playtime, which is totally fair as the first few hours of play can feel a bit slow and not very action packed. The game really picks up in hardmode.

  2. I feel like you can't really say that the first person's isn't true, even though Terraria is action-packed for a 2d sandbox it still might not be what they're looking for. The game also has a lot of building and exploration elements that they might not like.

  3. for those who hate their bases being corrupted, but don’t want to take the time to quarantine the biomes: branch roads out from your base made of incorruptible blocks (bricks, for example) before hard mode, and clear out any dirt/stone (walls too) a good 20 or so blocks under your base. as long as you can’t see a corruption sky background, then your base should be free of any corruption spawns, too. just remember to always build using blocks that can’t be corrupted.

  4. I think the main issue here is that terraria is not upfront about being a wiki game. It has a massive learning curve, and it doesn’t really explain itself very well; leading to a lot of confusion and frustration for new players.

  5. Bro it's so easy, just dig a 4-5 wide hole down to hell and it will spread down and if it's not 4-5 wide it will reach and spread so I recommend bombs to be faster and I would know because it works for me and it hasn't spread to my base.

    Edit: it also works as a hellevator

  6. Leaving a negative review cause of moss hornets on Terraria is the equivalent of leaving a negative review on Hollow Knight because of Primal Aspids both equally annoying enemies

  7. tbf the first guy prob didn’t have any tutorials or wiki or stuff, like i disagree with not action packed, but i feel like the game should have better guidelines. like how are new players supposed to know they need to dig down or find a cave to hell, kill a specific enemy that’s sorta rare, drop the thing it drops in lava, and kill the boss that spawns to progress

  8. If you complain about some hardmode thing in terraria (evil biome spread, random enemy), you have skill issue, even if you haven't played much of the game. Just be faster with mech bosses to get the steampunker, get better gear or just learn how to play the game. You can always play easier modes. Terraria will be a hard game if you chose to play on harder difficulty, and also, Hardmode is HARDmode, it's harder than pre-hardmode

  9. to anyone who actually says terraria is boring after 100+ hours try the calamity mod i’ve been getting my as KICKED it makes the game about 1000 hours worth longer

  10. Biome spread is easy to fix. Clean up your base until npc spawn then place 2-3 sunflowers on each side. The evil biomes can’t go past sunflower

  11. I mean I can kinda understand the first complaint cuz I can’t like the beginning of terraria is super boring especially when ur new cuz you don’t know what to do and everything can kill you and it’s super tedious mining ore and getting equipment and boss summons

  12. Hot take: biome spread is good just not in its current form like some nerfing and stuff like that, but terraria evil biomes without biome spread is like pizza without sauce

  13. yes the hardmode start biome spread is annoying I had a snow pylon that stopped working due to biome spread in my first expert world also an underground pylon in my first world that got the same fate also I know cleantaminator exists but what if youre a newer player playing expert for the first time and cannot beat a mech for a long time

  14. I very much dislike the new player experience terraria has. You need to spend 200 hours on the game to know how to properly progress on a build, or study extremely convoluted crafting trees on the wiki. Also the angler exists.

  15. Biome spread has already been nerfed like crazy. The only people that should have issues with it, is a new player, because they will take longer to beat a mech and unlock the items that fixes all biome problems. Anyones who beat the game should have no issues.

  16. Heres how you deal with biome spread.

    step one: ignore it in prehard mode

    step two: ignore it in hardmode until it becomes a problem

    step three: use the clentaminator to stop it for a tiny bit then ignore it until you can't anymore

  17. Biome spread doesn't need to be nerfed, but there needs to be more options for dealing with it. For example, maybe there is some crafting recipe pre mechanical that allows you to enhance a sunflower to purify blocks in an area around it.

  18. They literally added moss hornets AS IF REGULAR ONES DIDN'T DO ENOUGH DAMAGE ALREADY LOL

    That has to be a troll from the devs too because they don't even drop anything remotely important lol

  19. Build. A. New. House. Get over it. Clentaminate when you can. So many solutions. The world is litterally in all terms of saying it your oyster. Biome spread is not that big of a deal guys.

  20. Sometimes a game just didn't click with you, despite how critically acclaimed it is – that's me with Dark Souls. Granted, giving up after 18 minutes is a questionable choice, but if they'd played the game for longer and still didn't end up liking the action, I could understand that

    Also, SCREW MOSS HORNETS, 160-250 damage on Master Mode is inhuman
