Terraria, an action-adventure sandbox game, became the first indie game to hit 1 million positive reviews on Steam this week.
It joins a number of bigger title games to hit the 1 million mark, including Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and Grand Theft Auto V.
Of the 250 top rated games on Steam, Terraria currently sits at the #2 spot with a near perfect score.
Gamers have sung praises for the game for years.
“This game has been out for over 10 years and is still being updated for free,” Steam user Zide said in a review. “Oh yeah, each major update is an absolute banger too. I’ve never seen devs that listen to their fans more than Re-Logic does.”
To date, Terraria has received over fifty free updates, with the most recent content update being 1.4 Journey’s End.
The game’s dynamically generated 2D landscape offers exploration, crafting, construction, painting and battling. Released in 2011, the game has sold over 44 million copies.
A journalism graduate from the University of North Texas, Allyson loves writing about games almost as much as she loves playing them.
