--GAMES I DIDN'T LIKE THIS YEAR--
Redd: The Lost Temple
(Xbox Live Indie Games)
Effort definitely went into this game, but it just didn't click with me. Combat is really bad, you just have dynamite, so you have to spend most of your time trying to just avoid enemies, which takes a lot of trial and error. If you use your dynamite, you spend way too long waiting for it to recharge. The game is also way too dark, making it annoying to travel sometimes. The game has voice acting, which is rare for XBLIG, but the action stops way too often for the voice acting stuff.
It has some good parts, like upgrading your character, and some actual set piece moments that are fun, but for the most part, I tired of this one quickly.
---------
Dungeons of Dredmor
(Steam)
My main problem, the menu system is atrocious, and I'm forced to spend way too much time in it. The tutorial is kind of funny, but the sense of humor is mostly gone after that. Combat just gets really repetitive and slow paced, and in the end, just wasn't my thing. But seriously, THE MENUS. OMFG.
---------
Terraria
(Steam)
I never had any interest in Minecraft, so I was probably doomed to not like this at all. My main problem is how boring combat is, it's really repetitive. Apparently you get some cool gear later on, but it takes a while, and I didn't have the patience to get to that point (that trailer does show some combat that looks a lot better with cool weapons). I will say finding random loot can be pretty satisfying (though dealing with the menus constantly can be annoying).
Building houses and stuff was just annoying for me. It looks like if you are super devoted you can build some kinda neat buildings, but nothing minecraft type cool.
So I guess in the end, if you have the patience, you'll probably end up really liking terraria, but it you don't, you'll get bored before it gets good.
