Terraria

The big complaint on mobile devices is the lack of space for controls. Your character moves based on two invisible on-screen joysticks, which end up being pretty clunky to navigate. Precision building isn't impossible, but certainly much trickier than with a cursor. A tablet is better suited for long term play (which is definitely what you'll be wanting with this one in order to fully savor its exploratory fruits).

I absolutely love Terraria. I loved it before on PC and I still love it on iOS. I can’t recommend it without reservation if you’ve already got it for PC and are happy, though; for you, there’s no reason to download it on iOS.

This version contains a horde of new content that wasn’t in the original PC release, and Re-Logic’s dedication to not filling the game with advertising, in-app purchases, or any of the other trappings typical to iOS games, is admirable. It’s clear that the Terraria team put fun first, which is why this is one can’t miss iOS title.
