I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and I have something like 50 hours in it. I felt the similarities to Terraria pretty immediately with all of the trinkets/accessories, the bosses mostly all have a drop per class and stuff like that. When I beat the standard progression I hadn’t explored much of the settlement stuff, or potions, or magic or thrown or ranged or summoning. I’m playing as a range focused character now.

I will end up putting too much time into it for sure, but I might still prefer Terraria because I grew up with it.
