many many hours....
Try around 50 hours if you are doing a blind run and you are not after 100% completion.

Indeed. How much time you'll get out of playing the game single player will depend entirely upon you. If you use the wiki and try to speed run picking up only the specific items you've decided you want, it could go by pretty quickly. If you choose to build towns for your NPCs, figure out everything on your own and get every item in the game; it could last quite some time.

The multiplayer is plenty fun too if you or a friend can set up a server.

Let me put it this way: I have 463 hours of Terraria, and only about 2 of them were in multiplayer.

And I'm not bored of this game yet.

Ive put in the first week of playing (Before 1.2 Update) about 40 hours and i got pretty much everything i wanted,
After the 1.2 update. 300 hours later and still not gotten past all waves in the pumpkin & frostmoon events and haven't even started playing with Railroads or fishing.

This game can just devour days of your life. Its a very lasting game.

The has tons of replay value so an exact number of hours isn't accurate in my oppinion.. 50 hours might be accurate. But aside from that... The game has many things (singleplayer) that will keep you busy for quite awhile such as types of matierals that can be in places throughout the whole game in dungeons,etc... Theres tons of weapons and armor which may require tons of times to get such as specific matierals to get it which may be rare to find, a specific enemy has a *CHANCE* to drop something that is required for whatever... And this includes weapons anr armor... Theres tons of exploration to do based on the world size and there are bosses in the game which I'm sure the devlopers have added in more since the last time I played it... And mining can be quite fun as well. There is just so much to do in the game that I'm not sure if theres an accurate number... In my oppinion it has decent replay value.

Tons of replay value. Hard to put an exact number on hours, since there's so much room to do whatever you like. Making new characters, trying out new difficulties, turning the world into Hardmode...

[Tender Loins]

well i have 100+ hours and my main character only just beat the first hardmode boss... but I'm also ass at this game lol

It really depends on you. If you're anything like me, you'll obsess over your equipment, and by the time you reach endgame, 250 hours will have passed. You'll be armed to the teeth, and few things will be able to even think twice about threatening you. They'll do it anyway, and die screaming, but what's the point if you aren't violently unmaking the things that threaten you?

I have currently 85 hours in. ive beaten all the bosses, have near all the Npc's (darned Truffle XD) and i have all the best weapons and armour, and all upgraded to the max. even then!!! EVEN THEN!!!! i still find soooooo much fun stuff to do. im trying to build a city for my npc's, find ways to keep monsters away without having to defend the gates, and lots of cool stuff. (Wiring!!! :D) You can always find new and exciting things to do.

[HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA]

I've spent over 200 hours in one single-player world and still don't think I've gotten all the possible fun out of it. With building fun new houses and having more bosses to beat, the game can go on forever. Long live Terraria.

AS LONG AS YOU WANT IT TO. Seriously. It is an open-world game. That should mean something.

I've spent about 15 hours on an attempt to complete it in single player, just unlocked Hardmode and still feel like I've barely scratched the surface.

hardmode lasts A LOT longer than prehardmode. theres just so much more to do and so many more weapons and armor sets to collect you'll not want to stop building and experimenting until you pass out

One of the things that adds to how long the game lasts is how hard it is to find some items. For example you may need to make many worlds to get the Sandstorm in a Bottle due to it only being found in a place that does not always appear in a world and even then doesn't always appear. Other drops like Wisp in a Bottle have such a low drop rate that you need to set up a farm to grind for them. While you can do without some of these you will at some point be forced to hunt to the ends of the earth to find that item that just won't appear (everyone could give an example from the hunt for a Biome Key to an Aglet).
