You can't get much better than this. 20 years ago, games truly were at the best they could be.

Must buy

Highly recommended!!

I'm a console player of this game. I have it on Playstation 3 so my review will be based on the console version of the game, which before 1.2 came out, was pretty much the same as the Personal Computer version. This game is an Action-Adventure/Sandbox game, and it's a good one at that. The concept is fairly simple to understand. You start out at the bottom and rise to the top. There's no story to it, I feel you kinda make your own story up in the game using your imagination and that's one thing out of the many that makes this game a very fun experience.

It's mainly about making your own character and starting out on a randomly generated world, you have to learn how to fend for yourself against the other inhabbitants (Zombies, Slimes, Big Eaters, etc.) To do this you must first make a place of your own to live in (using materials you find, like wood). Then once you've built a house. It's time for the real exploring to happen, you must craft better tools to learn how to live easier within the world, to do this you'll have to go through more dangerous biomes (for example; The Crimson). Once you've collected enough material you'll be able to upgrade to better weapons and armour. Then you'll be able to fight bosses like; Skeletron and The Eater Of Worlds, killing these bosses will unlock more possibilities in the game. This is basically the games concept, it's a very fun open world adventure game.

Pros -

It's a really good game, I've spent enough time on it to safely say this is a very good buy for 6 pounds of your money.

The score I will give this game is; 8.5/10
