Terraria
Terraria drops you into a randomly generated 2D world with almost nothing and lets you dig, fight, explore and build your way up. You chop, mine and loot raw materials, craft ever-better gear, raise shelter for yourself and the mysterious allies who move in, and hold that ground against what comes at night. A long, generous loop for survival crafters who like starting small and growing strong.
