Probably the only reason I did not get into Terraria as an experienced Minecraft player is that my brain really hates 2D worlds.
I realize I miss out on many wonderful games, but how the hell do you feel comfortable restricted to one plane? This constantly makes me as a character feel I'm out in the open from two sides, and God knows what's there.
Maybe it's some weird quirk, but my brain is strictly 3-dimensional.
From my experience, Valheim is pretty close to Terraria in the general feeling of progression and exploration. While being a 3D game, albeit with a third-person camera
Which is yet another confusing thing for me :D
But I learned to play some third-person games, while others still hurt. For example, generally slower pace and auto-aim World of Wacraft is alright, but action-packed Warframe that also offers me to shoot in third person (why on goddamn Earth?) is killing me.
As per Valheim, I tried, but it felt odd to me. But thanks a lot for the recommendation!
Yeah, unfortunately, I can't think of the same type of game in true first person 3D. Maybe, Satisfactory (for building vast structures and automating) or 7 Days to Die (for the survival aspect).
Unrelated, but have you by chance played the Talos Principle games? Those are my favourite first person puzzle games, on the level of Portal and Portal 2.
For building vast structures, to me it's mostly Space Engineers, but that's another concept too, not exactly "build a gigafactory" type game. Still, building something big and cool it does.
I'm also sad MMOs are rarely first-person. Like, there was Tera, but it died immediately as I first heard of it, which is super unfortunate because it certainly seemed to tick my boxes.
I didn't play The Talos Principle, but heard about the game. Spent quite a while in both Portal games though - good times.
Elder Scrolls Online has a first person mode, for what it's worth
Fair enough!
