This is a review seeing just how terrible Minecraft is in terms of content in comparison to Terraria.
It's bad.
Special note: This was made as of Terraria 1.2 and I'm way too lazy to update it

(*Including tameable mobs and rideable mobs)
On to my personal opinion (if you really do care): Mixed opinions. I prefer Minecraft for the building and the survival. Terraria has a good array of things you can use to build but I like to use Minecraft because of the complexity of machinery you can make using all the complicated gizmos and gadgets in it. As for survival, it's exceptionally fun in Terraria but I like it in Minecraft as well due to the sheer size and randomness of a world. In Terraria everything is more or less always the same; corruption/crimson, hell, space, etc. but in Minecraft there are so many more places to choose from! But all the same, Terraria can be fun too.
So, opinions aside, due to our comparisons...
TERRARIA WINS!... ...right?
You see, it isn't about who has more of what. It's about the way to play. The way to enjoy it. You enjoy building, being creative, making pixel art? Play Minecraft, it's the perfect game for you. Don't have much taste for being a super builder, but like adventuring, fighting, bosses, etcetera? Play Terraria.
...or uninstall both and get a job, loser
Everytime you go mining, a bat will knock you into lava. Everytime you build a house, a bat will knock you into lava. Everytme you try and do anything productive THE FUCKING BATS WILL KNOCK YOU INTO FUCKING LAVA
...........10/10 would rage quit again.
Are people jarate'ing you off about calling Terraria a 2D version of Minecraft?
FLIP THE TABLES ON THEM SAYING MINECRAFT IS A 3D VERSION OF TERRARIA!
But seriously, this game is pretty great.

You can nuke waves of zombies with explosive bunnies.
You can stone Santa Claus to death with rotten eggs.
You can assassinate your enemies with bananas.
You must sacrifice your first friend to the lava of hell in order to progress.
And one of the bosses is a pig, dragon, shark chimera named Duke Fishron.
Play it already.
Played it for a little bit, seems like a fun game
Edit: You see, this is a joke. i say i only played it for a bit, but i actually played it for a really long time, see? joke. comedy. i didn't think i'd have to point this out, but apparently i do
Have you ever wanted to fight a giant eyeball that has teeth by using a laser cannon that you obtained from an alien invasion while riding your giant bee? Then this game is for you.
Have you ever wanted to drink water while drowning to restore health so that you don't drown? Then this game is for you.
Have you ever wanted to explore a vast underground land of ash and lava? Then this game is for you.
Have you ever wanted an arsenal of unique and fun weapons to use, each with their own weird and wacky abilities, from firing nyan cats to summoning ice dragons? Then this game is for you.
Have you ever wanted lore that is almost entirely up to interpretation? Then this game is for you.
Have you ever wanted to fight the moon itself? Well too bad they scrapped that idea.
BUT STILL...
Have you ever wanted to have a good time? Then this game is for you!
Like, seriously. It's a fun game. Lots of replay value, too.

You can be a werewolf riding a unicorn while shooting rainbows from a gun. You can build teleporters, find a hair dresser in a spider cavern, and get a sword that shoots cats. You can take on the lord of the moon using a yoyo, summon a sharknado minion that shoots sharks at your enemies, and find sky temples where air wyverns spawn. You can buy a music box from a wizard and go record the music that you like the most so you can have it playing in your base whenever you want, and then you can go build a castle made entirely out of white marble.
It would seem the only thing Minecraft has over this game is 1 dimension. Trust me, once you get used to it and start learning about the game, Terraria is simply one of the most satisfying sandbox experiences out there. It may sound rude, but compared to this, Minecraft just has no imagination.
Some might call this a "2D Minecraft" but it offers much more than that.
Extremely fun to play in about four day long bursts, or maybe more if you can not get burned out so fast like me. This game is also best played with friends, if you have any.
