Terraria
Release Date: May 16, 2011
Previous Experience with Terraria: Took down the Wall of Flesh
Expectations for Terraria: A fun, if slow-paced, little indie game

I'm just young enough to be in the first generation of kids who are nostalgic about Minecraft. My little brother played it a lot growing up and still revisits it once in a while, but I never played it beyond a few hours of the beta and don't have much interest in trying it again.

Terraria is basically proof that I rejected Minecraft for shallow reasons. It's not far from being a 2D version of the same game, but I spent hours mucking around in it and even made a decent amount of progress. Some of that was circumstance, since my dad and brothers were playing it while we lived together, but the biggest fact is that I'm just a sucker for sprite-based 2D graphics, even crappy ones like Terraria's. One of my strongest memories of this game is grinding for a long time to assemble the three pieces of a bee costume for my character, and I also played it for a long time on a PS3 with no internet connection, which made me rely extensively on the normally-useless Guide for tips and crafting recipes, which made me so grateful toward him that I didn't want to kill him off to progress the main quest, which is mandatory. My guide's name was Cody. I think I made a new world and switched over to it so that Cody would be OK.

I haven't really touched it in years. I think revisiting it will be a slightly weird experience. I don't imagine playing it on my own will really measure up to the memories I made staying up to play it with other people, and I'm not sure how much I like the game in itself. I think it will still be fun, but maybe a touch bittersweet.
