It gives you a goal and challenges you but doesn't confine you to just a single exit, instead it gives you hundreds of tools to play and tinker around with in how you approach the obstacles the game presented to you. You can play it in any way you prefer and at the pacing you wish to play in. * Terraria doesn't particularly demand you to play it in any specific way. Although, if you prefer, you can do them only once and move on which would be as equally viable as slapping them over and over until you have everything they can possibly drop for you (although it might be bad for the bosses' own mental health). * Often times defeating a boss once won't give you everything you want, so you will occasionally find yourself killing a boss twice or thrice. You make preparations for boss battles which when defeated, unlocks more options for you to play around with to prepare for the next boss you set your sight on, progressively making you stronger but also changing the world around you, introducing something new with each boss defeated whether that be new equipment, or entirely new areas of the world. * Game flow fundamentally revolves around defeating bosses. * Although, for complete beginners, the game is really easy to drop when you first touch it (I know since I dropped it when i first got the game) since you're not entirely sure what to expect, but take your time to learn the basics and do some wiki lurking here and there when you're stuck and you'd find that the game goes much deeper and offers an incredibly rich experience than you'd first expected (I know it did for me). Something about this game just feels really satisfying to play and every time i touch it, I was met with an incredibly pleasant experience (even though i die and fail a lot). I stop playing for a few months after a session or two, but every time I touch this game again (usually on a whim) I just fall in love with it all over again despite having completely finished it several times already. * I'm fairly casual in comparison to other more hardcore players.

* (note: heavily based on my experience, your experience may differ according to your own personal preferences) + Only 200mb for hundreds of hours worth of content. + Offers both a casual experience for casual players and a challenging one for hardcore players. + Not repetitive, it's fun and fresh even after completing it several times.
