Imo the 2 games have their own plus and minus points. Terraria: + It is 2D, which makes it pretty unique in its category. It also makes the game run much faster and not require a player to have an accelerated GFX card. + It is open-ended(which is one of the little amount of things it shares with minecraft), and you keep playing forever until you decide to delete the world/character. + You can make advanced analog programming with the wiring, although in Minecraft you have redstone, which has the same purpose. Terraria's wiring is pretty simple, making it possible to make stuff you cant make in Minecraft, however, whereas in minecraft the logic system has boolean values and you can make a lot more advanced systems with it. + It is a rather complex game, with a lot of different materials and tools. - The fact that it is 2D makes it rather horrible for role-playing videos. - You are stuck with the world as is, and the world is finite. Minecraft: + The worlds are infinite, meaning that there is always something to explore. + The game's ending is balanced, in that there is an ending(as stated in one of the splashes, and the fact that after defeating the 1st boss(enderdragon) you get a huge credits screen) but after that you can keep going, similiar to Terraria. + Its 3D makes it good for role-playing videos and offers much more artistical freedom to builders/pixel artists. - Its 3D also makes it run slower, as well as requiring an accelerated GFX card to run(which I, sadly, dont have).
