Terraria/Awesome

• The simple joy of teamwork. Nothing beats starting with fresh characters in a new world with 3 of your best buddies and taking out the Eye of Cthulhu or Skeletron with low-to-mid tier equipment or going on insane mining excavations searching for everything from glowing mushrooms to gold and jewels to Life Crystals all whilst tackling skeletons, bats, worms, fire imps, wasps, and maneaters, and doing it all together.
• Fallen Stars have a very rare chance of falling on enemies for around 1000 damage. That's pretty good. Now imagine that happening when battling the Eye of Cthulhu.
• Screw teamwork. Any time you defeat one of the hardmode bosses solo, you'll feel like a badass.
  • Now try beating those bosses on Expert Mode. By yourself. Even the first few bosses end up being quite menacing on expert, so any Expert boss kill is very satisfying.
• Come back to a normal world when you have every top equipment. Now try fighting the Eye of Cthulhu, something that likely gave you a lot of trouble when you first played. The battle will probably be over in less than 10 seconds. That's right. The basic hard-mode mooks are now a little more tougher to kill than a bodypart of Cthulhu. Proving just how ultimately badass you are for conquering the end-game.
