Why do people say this game is basically minecraft 2d?

[Sirzucc101]

I played this game a lot on ps4 and I've heard lots of people saying its minecraft 2d. The only similarity between the games is the mining aspect but they are completely different games.

It's just a lazy way of telling someone what a game is like. Most all RPG games are "JUST LIKE DARK SOULS" even though games have had those elements since long before Dark Souls came into existence.

Terraria has many of the same aspects (exploring, mining, crafting, fighting, building) but handles them way differently. Calling it Minecraft 2D is pretty inaccurate, but it's a quick way to tell someone *what* they can do in the game, although it completely misses the point if you want to convey *how* it actually feels to play.

It's like calling Slay the Spire a card-game. Sure, it's not exactly blackjack, but if you need to explain it in 2 words that's probably your best bet because it at least tells someone that there's cards in a deck and that you probably have to play said cards to win somehow.

Pretty much. Along the lines of BreadPit, it could be seen less as copying and more like bringing certain apsects over and changing them up a bit, making them work well with new ones and ditching others. No two games are exactly alike, but some of them just nail a formula properly. It's very rare that anything is considered truly original anyways.

Here's your real answer: because they have less brain cells than us fortunate enough to understand the truth - Neither of them copied

For starters, this wasn’t worth the necro, but Noita is much closer to being a 2D dark souls
