Terraria’s mining and crafting are both more involved and complex than Minecraft’s, and represent a greater part of the game.
Minecraft isn’t so much about mining or crafting, but about having your own world with total freedom, which the title “Terraria” evokes more.
I like both games, but my playtime says I prefer Minecraft 😆 I think I like it because it’s kinda boring.
Terraria is a lot of fun, yes, but I don’t feel like I can simply exist in that world, I have to play there. Whereas in Minecraft I can more easily just chill, get kinda bored, just walk around looking at stuff and think…
I like how tranquil and slow Minecraft can be. It doesn’t feel like a game so much as an other world I have access to. I like that it leaves me alone with my thoughts.
