Terraria is undeniably the best indie game of all time, and my favourite by some margin. That’s it. The list is over.

Its thriving community keeps creating amazing maps and stories and detailed mods, and you can still buy this masterpiece for less than a fiver on Steam. People will still be playing Terraria in 2040—if we haven’t all returned to the primordial ooze.
