More about TerraTech
7 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,032 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 777 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 17.5 hours. Doing everything runs 50, 2.8 times as long.

🎮 Genre: Sandbox Open world • Graphics: ▰▰▱▱ • Gameplay: ▰▰▱▱ • Replayability: ▰▰▱▱ 📝 It's fun and a bit frustrating but the game has a great concept!
I want to love it, I really do, but so many problems have accumulated over the years. I could have forgiven the bugs if they were still updating it, but they're not, and people still experience problems with various softlocks and unintended behavior to this day. The last update was a year ago... Multiplayer still feels incomplete, and far from what was desired by many. Limited range away from the other players, some...
