The Switch version has not shipped with local multiplayer, I could not believe it. What could go wrong? Well, firstly, something really annoyed me when I sat down with my boys to play a local multiplayer game. It has portability, a touchscreen and the ability to play multiplayer on the go. On to the Switch version then which, let’s be honest, has the potential to be the best console version of them all. It’s still the Terraria you know and love The loot you can find or craft is vast and varied, you can create and all manner of buildings, furnishings, armour and weapons. You start with nothing, build a small shelter and then dig, chop and craft your way to better equipment and therefore, fight harder monsters and bosses. It had the bits I liked from Minecraft but with bosses to fight and a bit more variety to the gameplay loop. I was obsessed with it on the PlayStation and played hours upon hours of it with friends and my kids.

Terraria is a very popular crafting, building and survival game. So what makes the Nintendo Switch version different? Is it worth your time and money? These are the questions I will answer in this review and I won’t bother you too much with the ins and outs of Terraria, we all know what it is and what it does. I think we have it on about five devices already in our house, its available on PC, mobiles, tablets, PlayStation and Xbox. Terraria is not a new game, in fact, I don’t think there is a current gaming system that does not have a version of this popular title on it.
