Review score

PC Windows Playstation 3 Xbox 360 Android Linux stadia Nintendo Switch Windows Phone / Windows 10 Mobile vita IOS iPhone Playstation 4 Xbox One Mac OS Nintendo 3DS wii u

Terraria is an addictive, systems-heavy, 2D sandbox-survival game that offers exploration, crafting, and combat, where you must defeat enemies and gather resources to build increasingly powerful weapons, armor and housing for NPCs. With pixelated visuals, great controls, and sound, Terraria provides hours of entertainment and is a must-have for Minecraft fans looking for something different in this genre.

What we like:

Addictive gameplay
Pixelated 2D sprites that are beautifully designed
Complex systems-heavy gameplay
The game has a purpose to serve with the housing of NPCs
Great and responsive controls

What could be improved:

The game has too many shortcuts and menus, which may overwhelm new players
Not a lot of screen space on small touch-screen devices

Review score

early access Linux Nintendo Switch Xbox One Playstation 4 Xbox Series X/s Playstation 5 PC Windows

Core Keeper is a mining/crafting-adventure game that combines elements from games like Terraria, Stardew Valley, and Valheim. The game allows you to explore the ancient underground world, build a base to craft gear, and search for boss creatures. There are skill trees to invest points in, and several class specialties to choose from. The main draw is exploration - it's the strongest aspect of the game so far!

What we like:

Experience points awarded for relevant actions
Semi-randomized layout
Nice audio/visual feedback
Moody lighting
Enjoyable melee combat
Fast progression system
No need to worry about days or schedules

What could be improved:

Not finished yet (Early Access caveat)
Lack of variety in content may make it feel incomplete
Long treks back out if character dies
Endgame not fully fleshed out yet
