The team at Pipeworks Studios has done a superb job of maximising the unique features of the Switch. In docked mode Terraria runs wells and will be familiar for players who have played on any other version before, however the features added to utilise the Switch’s touchscreen arguably make this the definitive version. The inventory and crafting menus are now much easier to see thanks to some marginal changes made for the Switch, and surprisingly function very well even on the significantly smaller screen that the Switch has in handheld mode.
Personally, I am not a fan of the new UI that was introduced to console to create parity between the PC and console versions, however since I last played I am pleased to see that some of the opacity issues I had have been resolved. It is a game I have sunk many, many hours into on console thanks in large part to some fairly regular updates that have added new biomes, bosses, items and resources, as well as some quality of life improvements in terms of controller mapping and a UI overhaul. You can build structures and mine for resources which you can then use to make your equipment more powerful until you eventually take on some of the games extremely demanding bosses. To finally have it on Nintendo Switch which gives me the option of playing in handheld mode in addition to on TV, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.įor the uninitiated, Terraria is a 2D sandbox adventure game with survival and crafting elements.
I’ve been a long time fan of Terraria having played it originally back on the 360 and then again more recently on PS4.
Originally released on basically every platform by now and finally available on Nintendo Switch and scored 8.5/10 on Xbox One Today’s Re:Port Review has reviews from Adam, Nicola, and Mick F. These reviews aren’t just to talk about the game but to look at how the games run and play on the Switch and how they use the Switch features. If you’re new to the Switch Re:Port Reviews on the Geek, I (with the help of the fine folk here) look at the Switch ports of games that have been released on other platforms. This week’s Switch Re:Port Review features reviews of some big third party ports that finally arrived on Nintendo’s hybrid console.
