Editor's note: This story previously said that Terraria was the first game to hit one million positive reviews on Steam. We've corrected it to clarify that it is the first independent game to do so, and the fifth game to hit one million positive reviews overall.
When it comes to Steam reviews, Terraria is well and truly smashing it.
Article continues belowTerraria follows Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, GTA 5, and PUBG: Battlegrounds to the one million positive review club. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege also notably has over one million total reviews, but only 941,926 positive ones at the time of writing.
Taking a closer look at the Terraria reviews on Steam, one fan describes it as "One of the greatest games I've ever played," adding, "2,300 hours in and I still am nowhere near sick of it ". Another admires its variety and the option to play with others, saying, "This game literally has everything. Fun to play, tons of things to do, bosses to kill, ofc it has multiplayer so you can enjoy everything with friends."
A major reason for Terraria's enduring popularity, and what makes it now the second best-reviewed Steam game ever, is the support developer Re-Logic continues to give the indie all these years after launch. Earlier this year, it released an update which optimized the game for Steam Deck, and just last month, it launched the Labour of Love update, leaving fans smitten with new building possibilities.
According to Re-Logic this will be its last major update before work starts on its next game. But not all fans are convinced they'll be leaving Terraria behind any time soon – the devs seemingly can't help themselves. "I had a lot of great memories with this game," says one reviewer. "Don't trust them when they announce the last update. There will be more."
