The value story

The value story

75 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Tinkerlands ($12.99, scores 66) and Necesse ($14.99, scores 79).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $77.59. It costs $9.99.

More about Terraria

Critics scored it 83. Players sit 14 points higher at 97 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 17 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 28,481 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it.

51.8 hours to finish it, 205 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 4.0 times the campaign.

1,566,662 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.
