First thought of a Minecraft clone in 2D, Terraria has blossomed into a sandbox worthy of challenging Mojang’s crown. Although, to be fair, if it weren’t for the NES-style sprite graphics the adventure-exploration title would seem a carbon copy of Minecraft on paper, with perhaps a splash of Metroid.
