Games like Terraria don't come around too often – this 2D, side-on survival crafter took the gaming world by storm well over a decade ago, and it's become a sandbox titan that's stuck around with plenty of updates. Whether you're digging through the upper crust to brave the dangers below, or traversing the colorful lands above, there's always loads to get stuck into as you mine resources, chop up wood, and, of course, battle all the monsters you can find. All while improving your gadgets and gizmos to make yourself even better at all of the above.
Re-Logic really nailed it with Terraria, and have known how to keep a good thing going. There's so much freedom, and so much creativity that goes beyond mere survival. Yet, even so, sometimes you want to shake things up and try something a little different. There are other games out there that put their own spin on the genre, or just offer the same kind of vibes with a fresh take. Whether it's the crafting, survival, exploration, or combat, here's a list of games like Terraria that you might enjoy (ahem) digging into next.
