Terrorarium
Terrorarium borrows heavily from other larger titles, and due to poor execution and lack of polish, never really steps out from those shadows

And this time you mean it. Those fools at the Intergalactic Horrorcultural Society have given the blue ribbon -- your blue ribbon -- to some ill-deserving pretender to the throne for too many star c…

19 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of "Terrorarium" is likened to "Pikmin," featuring resource management and puzzle-solving elements, but it suffers from simplistic mechanics and a lack of variety in levels and objects. While some players appreciate the challenge and community-driven improvements, many criticize the game for its bugs, underwhelming graphics, and a gameplay experience that feels repetitive and unrefined, particularly in its early access state. Overall, it may appeal to younger audiences or those seeking a budget title, but it requires further development to enhance its mechanics and level design.
“Interesting gameplay for little kids, find the little guys and throw them at the monster in the bubble to win.”
“This can be seen in very challenging levels which can be solved once you figure out the mechanics.”
“As of writing this review, the gameplay in Terrorarium is solid.”
“In all honesty, this game is a rip-off version of Pikmin. The graphics are mediocre, the animation is lackluster, and the gameplay feels quite dead for the price they're selling this game. I really don't recommend it; I'd say get this game if you really want to on sale when it's hopefully around 70 pence or a quid.”
“Yet another issue with the game is how simplistic its mechanics are. After the first introductory levels where everything is unveiled, it does not evolve; there are no other moogu breeds past the initial three or different objects besides the elevators and breakable ones.”
“An easy two-thirds of the levels feel like they are just about introducing basic mechanics, something that could be condensed down to perhaps half the levels for release, and the rest feels a bit messy.”
