what is similliar to terraria?

[Arics]

tilte basically says it, always thought the game is a farming simulator but i dont think so many ppl would play a only farm sim.

Well you thought wrong because that is exactly what has made Stardew Valley what it is today - a super fun farming sim sandbox. Terraria is firstly and mostly about survival and it has a completely different vibe to it. So if you are expecting Stardew Valley to be similar to Terraria then you will be very disappointed

It's similar to Terraria in the sense that they're both sandbox games: you get to play however you wish and set your own goals. Beyond that, they're not that much alike, as Terraria is a combat- and building-focused game, and Stardew Valley a farming simulator. This game does have combat, but it's clearly not a central aspect of the gameplay, as the mechanics are very simple.

Stardew Valley is also not "only a farm sim". There are many other things to do in the game besides the farming part. There are other skill-related activities like mining and fishing; a whole relationship system and seasonal events, involving the townsfolk; an Animal-Crossing-style museum collection to fill out; the Community Center bundles (which are considered the "main" goal to accomplish, and involve the use of most of the game's various systems).

And there's also mods, which can add even more new concepts to the game. You can play Stardew Valley as a battle royale game, if you really want it; someone did in fact make that into a game-mode.

It has a lot of overlap.

I think that >20.000.000 sold copies and one of the most positive review scores on steam clearly show that a farming simulator can be fun for many people.

Lesson for your life: Don't judge others by your own standards.

it's much more than a farming simulator it's pretty much a full on life sim. it's open ended and you just live your life there is no clear path just do what you want with the farm whether you want to not grow crops and just explore the caves or fish, you just do what you like, in terraria mean while you've got to actually do what the game makes you think you need to do, since you need to kill the bosses to get access to everything, whilst in stardew valley everything is immediately available, like,the entire game is in your hands once you begin.

Um...

Both games use pixel art.
Both games use 2D sprites.
Both games let you chop down trees to collect wood.
Both games let you go fishing.
Both games have combat.
Both games let you buy and sell things.
Both games are highly addictive!

...I think you get the point.

100% correct. Starbound can be seen as Terraria out in space with the "whole" universe at your disposal. Sounds good in theory, and I bet it was a good idea to begin with. But the end results was a bit disappointing unfortunately and therefore Terraria will always be superior in my book. But I still like Starbound so don't get me wrong and I do think it is worth a shot.

And the good news is that there are mods which can make the game a whole lot better.

Pretty good deal on the game now, if anyone is tempted:
