In the case of Terraria, where there is already a fantastic mobile port of the game with a remade UI specifically built for mobile, the Stadia version on a mobile device feels cramped and poorly realized. On the one hand, it's wonderful to play any game on the entire platform with touchscreen controls, but on the other hand, the touch support is just a blanket virtual layout that's identical for every game. Terraria is a great example of a game that plays great across all devices on Stadia - even mobile with touchscreen gamepad controls - but it's also a perfect example of how limited the virtual gamepad options are on Stadia. Terraria Stadia review Stadia performance and comparisons It lacks direction still and suffers from a painfully meandering tutorial that struggles with delivering things clearly, but it's extremely rewarding once you really dig into it. In general, there are tons of weapons and armor types to craft and hundreds of enemies to fight that keep Terraria interesting far after you've felt like you've built a nice house. Other smaller differences that set Terraria apart from other sandbox building survival games, such as Minecraft, are all of the various RPG elements, NPCs that can live with you and protect you. There are things to build and caves to explore here, of course, but you can spend tons of jumping around in caves like a platforming game or just fighting enemies for loot and supplies on the overworld. One of the main things that sets Terraria apart from its contemporaries, still to this day, is how much more gamey it all feels. There is this tangibly whimsical nature that's hard to resist in Terraria. Source: 505 Games (Image credit: Source: 505 Games)
