Why Terraria Is So Awesome

- Why is Terraria so awesome? Terraria, the 2011 Indie title that blew the AAA gaming industry into pieces. With it's success still ongoing in 2023, it's certain that Re-Logic must have done something right that other devs can only dream to mimic. So, what is it that the AAA industry can learn? In this video, I take a look at all the pros (and some cons) that Terraria presented into the gaming industry and what other larger titles like cod, battlefield and halo can learn from. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed todays video folks!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this new type of content I've been releasing lately. Would you be interested in me covering more games in the future?
i like it, its good to have variety keep up the good work
put a post about it and let us chooses yes or no
You should cover items from the binding of isaac there is quite a lot of underrated weapons out there! Terraria videos are nice and all but some videos about other games would be nice.
"I'll take your entire stock!"
very much, i really think terraria needs more attention
I agree that replayability should be something that Game devs should give thoughts about more
yeah
Ya there are so many great games out there that just don't do well after the first playthrough and it's a real shame because if Devs do add dlc to those games people are more likely not to buy it because they've already lost interest in the game or have sold/returned what they have bought and replayability is a very good way to create a strong and lasting community that can get excited for your next game or future updates to existing games
Yes
I Guess this is a sign that I should watch the video of yours I skipped for this now
I completely disagree. Outer wilds is one of if not the best game of all time and you cannot play it more than once
I think the tendency for triple-A's to underdeliver in terms of polish is a result of both developer strain and increased developmental complexity compared to what came before.
Stop stalking me already!
i see this fucker commenting on every terraria video
@@clockwolf8037 no, EVRY VIDEO
Yeah apex still hasn't added solo mode.
And the studios not giving a damn
R.I.P Leinfours, you will be missed
terraria the good
terraria the good
Terraria the bad and the ulgy

Terraria such a gem!
Indie developers now have way better tools, and passion really shows. I think it's easier now to find indie games that have way more love put into them than AAA games. Not that AAA games cant have love put into them, just seems more rare now
Love is not profitable
Battle pases, dances, skins and all that crap is
Is a SINGLEplayer game starts to get bloated with skins and whatever you may aswell not play it at all (you can tey it before paying tho)
cough cough EA Sports cough cough you suck cough cough
Indie games have always had more love put into them, but no offense they looked like shit almost all the time 10-15+ years ago
I gotta give some credit to the modders of this game. I recently started a playthrough of calamity and a few other mods and just wow, those people are so talented. Just when I thought I was bored and wouldn't touch the game again, I'm obsessed with it just as much as my first playthrough. They have done a huge part to keep the game alive.
fact
Yeah man, calamity, and quality of life mods are so nice to have
And they're just getting better
When I started Calamity, it felt like picking up Terraria for the first time again. I usually refer to them as entirely different games. Honestly the rogue class is now one of my favorites, I love having one precise shot to do a ton of damage
@@glassofwater281 yeah, they might as well be different games. Base game is a mix of exploration, building, and action RPG elements. meanwhile Calamity is an action RPG focused around min-maxing and crazy boss fights
I think what terraria did best is that it wasn’t made as a game-industry changing competitor in the market. It was just some guys making a game out of passion!
Love the replay ability of this game, I can have multiple characters all different classes, with multiple styles of weapons to have a new fresh experience everytime
I think the biggest difference and reason terraria is what it is can be found in the latest update name. To Re-Logic Terraria is “a labor of love” something made with the passion and creativity of a small team. Contrast this with AAA studios who, while may having passion of their own, are made by giant teams to fill a quota, even if they have love for their product they still need to be able to cooperate, and make money. So they simply aren’t allowed the freedom needed to make a passionate project with so much oversight
Terraria isn’t going to die because of the changing industry, it’ll change cuz the playerbase stops gaming. The playerbase is aging. Kids aren’t playing it cuz it’s not actually relevant, it’s just that the people who played terraria as kids have had reasons to keep playing and haven’t left yet
100% agreed
Who is this grain character
To be fair, there are still younger folks picking it up, like me for example, got it for my... 13th Birthday? Only 15 now, and it hasn't gone anywhere.
@@amog8202 What I mean is is that it's not a trending game. Every game that's still alive has new people going into it but it's not a trend, it's a very small number, probably less than 100 a year. From what I'm seeing, most people who play terraria have some level of nostalgia. Most new sales are going to be returning players rather than new ones (not that I'd expect terraria to have many new sales, just a decent size pre-existing community). Currently all the kids are flocking to games like fortnite, fall guys, among us and minecraft but terraria is no longer a game that is trending in their friend groups. As someone who teaches kids mostly age 8-14 I can tell u that they don't shut up about video games but terraria is never one I hear mentioned.
@@Totas_funnynumber I am merely a figment of your imagination.
Nothing better than another great video from sock in the new chapter of sockrteez.
perfect timing to show Terraria all the love it deserves, with leinfors recent passing. rest in peace legend
I’ve been playing Terraria since 2014. I started out on mobile, switched to Xbox 360 in 2016, and now I’ve been playing on PC since 2019. As long as ReLogic keeps updating the game I don’t plan to stop playing it anytime soon. It is one of my all time favorites.
You said it well - greed. It's greed that makes games bad - the time for development is shortened, the game isn't polished and has many problems, but people still would buy it.
Makes me appreciate Re-Logic more!
have you heard about the staff member who died? Jason. Rest in peace brother.
Yep heard about it yesterday :( tragic news. He was such a great guy
@@sockrteez he really was he did so much for the community. it was too soon.
Rip Jason at relogic who died in his sleep recently. He was always so wholesome and optimistic. I hope the new quality assurance role they hire will be as great as Jason.
keep in mind that terraria is in the top 10 best selling games of all time, despite only costing 10 dollars. it has beat something like animal crossing: new horizons which is both insanely popular AND costs 6 times as much
I'd love it if you could please review the 4 Tavernkeeper sentries: How they compare to each other and how they compare to other comparable sentries when you can get them.
Bonus points if you could review the Tavernkeeper armor sets too :)
When you realize that Vampire Survivors has more player count than Battlefield 2042 says something.
Love your videos!
bro is gonna run out of weapons to review eventually anyway lol
I think a key thing about terraria and why it has lived so long is because it is such a good base template to be worked upon for updates and mods because it does not take its self very seriously anything can happen in terraria I mean like you can build a npc house out of poo
I'm just gonna comment here because it's 12am and I can only finish watching this in the morning lmao, but i know this video will be another good one
im new to the channel and you made me get back into playing Terraria! and im honestly surprised you don't have 1m+ subscribers. The commentary and the editing is great.
Welcome aboard!
Another great vid sock also congrats on 100k
Terreria do be using all my triple A batteries.
The main thing I think the gaming industry needs is to stop being an industry. We, as gamers, need to put more collective thought into indie games. These giant companies like Bethesda, Sony, and especially Activision, while they can make great games, are really just in it for the money. We get the exact same game every time a new COD comes out. Games like Valorant or ForkKnife have micro transactions. You know what games don’t? Terraria, Minceraft, Subnautica, and all these other great games. Indie developers are the spice of life.
Because of greed in the gaming industry, I feel like gaming as a general topic will have to die out before we see a major change in the industry, but once that happens game developers will definitely look to indies like Terraria and communal success games like Elden Ring to find the things you talked about in the video and work on them, definitely starting with either replayability or generally finishing the games.
Your video quality is amazing, you shouldn't limit yourself to only make videos about the design of terraria, videos about how games work has so much potential!
Extremely sleek editing and endless content on my favorite game. Sub easily earned, keep it up
First character in Terraria I used EVERYTHING, I always had the most powerful summon, I'd switch to whips to get that bonus damage with them but I also liked to use Bows to apply debuffs and guns to get big DPS with Chlorophyte Bullets and the Terrablade was my go to when I was mining or Dungeon crawling. My armor though was really only ever whatever had the highest defense numbers, which usually meant Melee armor. It's still amazing, even after all these years.
great editing, great narrating, and great writing.
You deserve more views.
Wonderful video, mate. Subscribed and hit that bell.
I have 5k+ hours in this game over the past 3~ years. Though I played it when it was still in 1.2 console version at a friend's house who had it in the past. The nostalgia of playing it back then got me to think about getting the game again but on pc to finish something a started. I tell people I am a gamer, but only for Terraria. :) As I really only have a passion for this one game. Thank you Re-Logic!
3:33 I have a bit over 3000 hours on this game (modded included) and I still discover new things about this game but just randomly deciding to look at an item on the wiki, like only 2 days ago did i figure out you can put Quest Fish on weapon racks
It's the small things that keep me playing this game
Absolutely loving this form of content, keep the good work up!
Very high quality videos recently! Keep them coming
Glad you like them!
@@sockrteez always a joy to see an unwatched video of yours on my recommended
I thought the video was really good, I just wanted to say that I thought the music was a tad too loud and it was sometimes hard to make out what you were saying- maybe just an issue from my phone, but I'd like the background music mix to be a little quieter in the future. Again, loving this direction in your content lately, keep it up!
I absolutely love this video, I have always enjoyed documentary styled content and combining it with one of my all time favourite games feels so good to watch. Thanks for dedicating your time to this banger of a video :D
Awesome, thank you!
Np thanks for replying 👍
NEW VIDEO WOOOO
My god you've grown so fast! I remember you first starting with shorts haha
Another great thing I feel ReLogic does great is the modding scene. Rather than discouraging it, Terraria embraced it, and even hired a modder or two to work on Journey's End! I even see that Redigit, the lead developer of Terraria, often retweets major posts about Calamity's updates. The soundtrack in some of these mods is amazing too, with DM DOKURO arguably changing the quality of music in modding forever. I'm so proud of where this game and it's mods have come, and even when the community dies, I feel like I'll still be coming back for a playthrough or two in the future.
Yeah Terraria is honestly one of the most mod friendly games ever, its great
idk, it may be just like 1.4, as of the game never actually dying, but diminishing, and than Terraria 2 or 1.5 uptade comes and it gets to live again.
DM Dokuro unironically made one of the best soundtracks in gaming history for a MOD, he's a legend
This guy is such a great narrator. Also the hair is awesome bro. Keep up the great work!!
amazing video. i hope this blows up.
please do make more content like this alongside your current videos :)
Rest in peace Leinfors
R.I.P. Jason "Leinfors" Parker
Great stuff here!
Honestly there were a lot of times where I was wondering if I am perhaps overrating the game and whether I still want to bother playing but I will forever be loyal. I just love it so much, it has oartialky raised me as a person ❤️
A lot can be learned from terraria and at the same time re-logic should also take some features from more recent titles. When the next big update releases, terraria's popularity will rise again, especially if we will get crossplay. After that, eventually focus should be pointed at their new game which will have the core of terraria but with an entirely new world to explore containing endless possibilities and even bigger expansion. That's at least what I would like to see 😄
Nice vid bro
Those are some nice transitions bruv
Bro got that Don't starve fade 💀
But seriously, cool vid 👍
I just beat terraria for the first time playing mage and I’m so excited to replay it and finding new weapons that i never bothered for from another class!
Not sure if re logic is going to be active due to a tragic passing of a developer. May he rest in peace.
Brilliant video QUALITY!
here before 150k, surprising, seems like a great dude
Hello Mr Sockrteez,
If you are still doing the weapon review series I'd like you to check out the 'psycho knife' from the "solar eclipse event" or the "Pumpkin moon event"(I didn't remember which one it was) Plz and thanks.
Solar eclipse, drops from the psycho ( obviously )
1:01 I love how bros pants just dissapeared
Can we have a comparison of what the best old ones army sentry is??
Mods are something else, just imagine thinking; "Hm, I'll try using mods to change the experience" then a few minutes later you are now enjoying yourself with OP and Extremely Challenging Boss fights and Events added by mods
So borderlands 2 is a game that despite being and fps and not a sandbox, has a lot of similar properties compared to terraria. There’s rare items, there’s farming, open world system, plenty of things to do, well made class systems, and tons of replayability. This also might be biased, but both terraria and borderlands 2 are similar and amazing at what they do.
Calamity att always making me come back. I even finished fargos eternity mod after seeing a video of someone playing the mod. I really liked minecraft back in the day, but something on terraria, maybe it's gameplay and comunity mods that drag me back
I like hard challenges, used to play souls like games and enjoy finishing the game in different classes, now i'm thinking on taking on infernum mod
Something that makes games really fun and funny for me is just some random joke items like a whoopee cushion, an explosive bunny, or the companion cube pet.
I think plenty of content being missable works in the game’s favor as discovering something new each play through of from a community video allows for more mystery, I remember finding a truffle worm and being so confused what it was for after have quite a few run away back in the day, only to be shocked that it led to a boss more powerful than golem.
Moments of curiosity really get the imagination up and running and it is great for new players, for us veterans it allows for checklists and challenges as we know what event will drop a certain item for a build, or that this boss is optional and doesn’t drop anything important so we can skip it if we feel like it.
Not just that but a boss or event may not drop a useful item for a mage play though but maybe something essential for a melee play through. Allowing for different ways to get to the same goal.
"Boss more powerful than Golem"
Is still technically premech for some ungodly reason
why is this guy actually so good
New video yes!
Sockrteez don’t know if you will see this but I love your editing style and want to know what software you use ❤
Glad you like it! I use prem pro for my editing :)
@@sockrteez omg thank you, your videos are so entertaining, I’ve watched them all
bro's got the hair of Olympus
Sockerteez has covered every weapon. That is why his face has appeared.
only just started the video but already man got drip
Imo the replayability is rly what keeps these titles floating steadily.
I haven't played Terraria for like a year and now here I am, back at it to have my fun with it.
Being able to just come back to something at any point and starting fresh in case you're rusty without necessarily needing to erase what you've already achieved is amazing.
And while the hype and community may not be constant, this fandom is tightly knit while filled to the brim with a variety of incredible people.
What I thought you might mention too is the modding capability, especially since you dragged Minecraft into the conversation.
The fact you can just go "fuck it" and casually add something to the game if you have the given knowledge is great. This birthed TModLoader and CurseForge which both are by just being a thing a great example how far a game can go when you let your community tinker with it too.
A good vanilla game is already a wonderful experience but modding quite literally tends to push the game to the next level.
From QoL changes to basically reworking the game in several ways, modding has something for everyone and everything.
Glad to see a Besiege cameo!
I think that if relogic ever does release terraria 2, they could also gift it to whoever already bought terraria. This is probably a dream, since they still need to make money, but it would be a good incentive to try out the game for veterans.
They deserve the money. The most of a discount I'd accept is a 50% off coupon for anyone with Terraria in their library.
Nah thats too much maybe in a couple years when terraria becomes older they could package 1 & 2 in a discount combo like portal
As someone played terraria its the best indie game I ever seen but its problem that it became boring after completing game 2 or 3 times
They technically did release free" dlc" in the form of the official tmod loader, but calling it that is a HUUUGE stretch
YESSS AMAZING VIDEO
Bruh as soon as i heard this has been sock R teez im like OHHH because ive been saying sock treez
Unrelated but lets take a moment of silence for lienfor rip what an excellent dev
Terraria and Elden ring are the only two games that I have completed countless times. They are both amazing games with a plethora of ways to play them. Also the more knowledge you have of them the easier it gets and it is fun to test yourself with challenges once you’ve mastered the game
If im going to guess you play the mods aswell?
@@Seroperato Nah but I want to. I play console
Its simply the replayability and how satisfying it is to progress and get noticeably stronger. Playing on the getfixedboi seed on master with my sis and having the most fun playing it with how crazy it is compared to a normal seed
Good video, but I thought the thumbnail said INDIE > AHHHH
Also terraria adding tmodloader as a DLC is also kept it alive with the mods giving new content
Wooo a new video
nah us terrarian just been too busy playing terraria i mean 1 medium classic world takes 300h for me to complete and since most terraria community only play expert mode as the bare minimum. Most of us has forgotten what grass looks like
I love indie games because my laptop can't run triple-A games
Bro would look like mega mind when painted blue and bald💀
That's great! 🔥🔥🔥
We need a video on that hair routine
which minecraft shader did you use in minecraft? looks stunning
Hope more people watch this video, it's really well made!
Terraria needs to be appreciated by more 🙏
Nice vid
Bro looks like he's using the rtx eye lock ai
Good video
I have been playing since 1.2, and will keep playing until long after I beat the game. No, I haven't beaten it yet, but I did get the slime staff!
First time seeing his face. Not what I expected but not disappointed. Lookin sharp sockrteez
In terms of relevancy online (not like that matters when discussing the quality of a game), Terraria modded videos, Terraria playthroughs but with some catch or gimmick, they’re getting crazy views all things considered. Terraria’s online presence was SIGNIFICANTLY smaller in 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 and even 1.4. The game has had a crazy not even resurgence but blowup in the past few years, and while people on UA-cam Reddit general online Anglosphere act like or literally think doesn’t exist, the Chinese online gaming community (largest in the world in case that needed explaining), has had quite the infatuation with Terraria in a similar timeframe.
So modded content continues to get mad views, and in a few years we should be seeing some pretty fantastic mods coming in from the Chinese playerbase (look at Dota2 mods for reference), I expect a very good intermediate-long term outlook for Terraria. By the time it’s kicking 15 16 years old there will be a level of playerbase only matched by Minecraft Dota2 League of Legends and Warcraft 3 in terms of similarly old or older title’s playerbase. That battlefield comparison is hilariously unfair, and Terraria will almost undoubtedly outlive that title in long term popularity
I’m not gonna lie I’d play the shit out of a terraria style mmo.
I really should play calamity mod but I never get around to it
The Metro series is regarded as a very linear game, but I can't stop replaying it. There are so many ways you can play, so many stashes you haven't found, so many lore tidbits that need to be discovered, Metro much like you say about great and memorable games allows freedom. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to play a janky post-apocalyptic shooter. There's few like it. (STALKER fans will know what I mean.)
I think sockz is transitioning to terraria weapon review to essay videos.
Terraria actually endorsed a moddable version of their game that a 3rd party had been working on as a passion product... it's called tModloader and you can get it on steam for free if you already have terraria... it even has steam workshop support
I dont think I've ever seen any company do this other than Re-Logic
I think the main appeal of terraria is the progression system and how non-linear it is. You can start the game as a melee tank and end it as a glass cannon mage.
the bosses are also for the most part well designed and fun to fight, and as the game progresses the player and content tend to race to out-scale each other until the very end.
4:20 you say this, however ive had one of my friends get mad at me because i asked him what class he was going and he insisted "classes arent in the game they are just something youtubers made up" :|
10:48 what mod did you use to lower the use time cooldown on the death sickle?
The mod
