#1 Terraria
Terraria is an open world Action-Adventure, Survival RPG and Voxel-based Sandbox video game set in a 2D game world. The game lets you be part of the game world with three basic tools, a pickaxe, a sword and a wood cutting axe and allows you to explore, gather resources and fight off your enemies. The game world is filled with things that would like to slay you so you need to be a bit more careful while exploring. As the game mainly focuses on night time game-play, the enemies attack at night, so you must be a bit more attentive to the details and your surroundings. Combats are normally melee type so you will have a better chance of earning the XP points that will help you buy some upgrades. Because of being a 2D game, Terraria seems a bit different than other sandbox games, but it isn’t actually. You’ll experience almost the same game-play and a lot of other exciting things. Terraria is available to play on multiple platforms.
