Terraria, in it's own way, has a very strong building scene, but it's more about combat and taming your world.

Terraria pits you against an absolutely merciless world. It's your job to build shelter, mine for resources, and hunt monsters to get the gear you need to defeat the numerous bosses in the game. They, in turn, drop great loot, and so on and upwards until you're fighting the Frost Moon, which is currently the toughest End Game event.
On top of this, there is a spreading, evil biome called the Corruption (Or depending on the world, the Crimson) that WILL take control of every single block in a world if it is not maintained and controlled.
There's a second half of the game called Hardmode. Killing a boss called the Wall of Flesh, located in the Underworld and summoned by sacrificing your Guide via dropping a Guide Voodoo Doll in the lava, will activate it. It involves new, tougher bosses, the ability to break Demon Altars to spawn new, powerful ore, and a flood of new, powerful mobs. By far the most drastic change is a huge new vein of corruption that appears, and an entirely new, also spreading Biome called the Hallow to contend with. The Hallow in game is portrayed as a 'good' biome, but make no mistake; Pixies, Unicorns, and flying pink bubbles will not hesitate to gib you.
After progressing far enough in Hardmode, you kill a boss called Plantera. Killing Plantera changes your dungeon, turning up the difficulty to 11, as they say. This new, Hard Dungeon is the source of even more new mobs and gear, some of which is absolutely monstrous in power, but even those items are eclipsed eventually.

And that just isn't advertised. Tame the world? You build a little box and sit in it till night is over, then fight the same slimes or critters that respawn constantly during the day. There is nothing that says, oh theres monsters and bosses to defeat for epic loot. Although I had seen info on COOP battles/etc, the thought of fighting bosses with the combat system Terraria has just doesn't make me want to spend the time to get to the bosses/etc.
ShadedExalt:
Terraria's combat system isn't hugely deep, no, but it takes a lot of skill not to die outright during some of the bossfights, even with endgame gear.

in any case sandbox games like minecraft are kinda dull to me when I have a word processor to do fun sandbox stuff in literature form.
when compared to the absolute freedom of literature vs sandbox games... I tend to go towards the former.

Recently I removed GOIO from my HDD - I felt it started to sprung toxic, melancholic, depressive thoughts, because fuck my brain - and purchased CS:GO.
...after tormenting myself for 11 hours - because I'm one persistant basterd - I wished I had never bought this game. Not because it sucked me in, quite the contrary.
You people think the GOIO players might seem toxic?
Oh hell no.
The level of stupidity and debiliating, overgrown egos is over 9-fucking-thousand.
Alko recommended me to play on community servers - wasn't much better.
Matchmaker of CS:GO - yeah, still broken, though faster.
The basis are easier to comprehend than those of GOIO, though CS require far more skill - I was aware of that, so I started from practicing with bots, to get to know maps and practice headshots.
The fucking thing is - even though CS bots are good, playing with other people is completely different; as I said, I have nothing against being defeated by more skilled players, but ffs. The time you sit down doing absolutely NOTHING is, like, 70% of a game. The only moment I had a pleasant experience with that sodding sack of shit was when I carried a team (after 8 hours of playing lol) with my M4A1 headshots... which are not very accurate and even worse by my bad reaction time...
Fuck this game.
And fuck Steam refunds - they won't give me my money back because I forced myself to find those mythical positive sides of CS for 11 hours, when refunding is possible only under sodding 2...
Sorry, had to vent my frustration...
