You entirely base your opinion about what you know the game CAN LOOK LIKE.
If you don't have an expectation of Terraria, you don't know the depth and therefore play the game as it is.
The only thing that is harming your fun is knowing how it could be by watching videos, streams whatever.
Saying "it is impossible to play without a wiki" is entirely self inflicted by wrong expectation management. Of course people want shortcuts but a person without internet access wouldn't call Terraria unplayable without a wiki.
