    Actualy never bought/played it. I don't like Mincraft, so I don't see why I would like Terraria.

    Picked up a copy a couple days ago when I saw it was released. Have only had a couple hours to play, but enjoying it so far! Haven't run into any major bugs or issues yet, but looking forward to see where the Beta leads and having some more time to play.

    Terraria didn't appeal to me, but Starbound looks interesting. Waiting to find out more about customizing the Starship before I get it. I read there's going to be mechs to pilot so that should be fun too.

    To me, what I love about this game and Terraria, is that its goal driven. You have tasks to do, and you get to explore a vast world with bosses hiding around. There are also tons of secrets to be found. Not to mention the loot. The weapons. The armour. The magic. And you can build whatever you want as your home. Or make traps to fight enemies easier. And there are like thousands of different enemies waiting to be fought. Some easy, some extremely hard. But another cool aspect of Terraria is mining. Finally finding that precious gold or Titanium, after finding iron for several days straight :)

    And you can do crazy experiements, like building a tower to space :D
