I played it, but it skews the wrong way for me.

With Minecraft, I can mostly turn off the monsters and focus on creativity (though I usually stay in Survival over Creative because I feel like the limitations make creating things more interesting, whereas when I build things in Creative I get bored easily and lose interest because I don't have the patience for massive-scale art projects, but anything less than a major project feels pointless and unearned).

With Terraria, it feels very obvious that their motivating principle WAS the combat, and that building things was more of an afterthought/secondary feature, and there's far less you can actually DO with it, so I got bored of the game extremely quickly.

I probably wouldn't mind a new game similar to how Populous worked, though, with landscape shaping and being able to establish villages and the like. I've tried to set villages or cities up in Minecraft before, but they keep changing the rules to make villager breeding more and more difficult and annoying, so in the end I usually wind up with all these buildings but a world that feels totally empty. Being able to add people/NPCs to the world (without having to resort to Creative) would be a nice step-up.
