    It’s really fun but recently it has suffered from lack of developer creativity. Every time a new update gets announced I’m really excited but then it turns out they took a year to add camels into the game. Like camels are cool but can you add something that actually improves the gameplay for once

    minecraft is a creative idea with alot to do, but it is quite hard for it to stand on itself. it always relies on player created servers, mods, gamemodes and builds. its really fun to do a creative world from time to time but it isnt all that interesting. building in creative really sparks up ideas but its obviously quite linear since everything is a cube, or atleast only has cube shapesminecraft is a creative idea with alot to do, but it is quite hard for it to stand on itself. it always relies on player created servers, mods, gamemodes and builds. its really fun to do a creative world from time to time but it isnt all that interesting. building in creative really sparks up ideas but its obviously quite linear since everything is a cube, or atleast only has cube shapes within it. but overall it is a pretty good game but it is not much fun alone. i like to pop it in from time to time but it aint much to talk about if it isnt about a content creator or a gamemode.… Expand

    It's a great game, don't take me wrong but devs just take way too long to add things, it's years for they to add a fckng frog or something idk what's the thing they wanna add at this point.
    Also there's a lot of performance problems on bedrock edition, idk.

    One of the landmark games for sure. Ultimately its great just cause what it does is so unique and enables so many different creations.

    The actual game design is very limited and requires mods to be properly enjoyable.

    For instance the game world is massive but everything you need can be found in one mine... And villages are not particularly useful either.

    The OST is absolutely brilliant.

    Imma be real,mojang adds wayyy too much stuff in the game that i can't keep up with what once a simple game, the performance on java is so horrible and i wish they. If mojang were to fix the performance I would give it a higher score

    I wanna be as objective as I can be with this review.
    Minecraft has not aged well at all.
    Gameplay- Minecraft is incredibly hard to get into when playing singleplayer, game progression is very loose, gathering materials is a slow process, and once you're prepared for the Nether, you need to hope and pray that you're strong enough to take on the big bad Nether Fortress or else you're not    I wanna be as objective as I can be with this review.

    Gameplay- Minecraft is incredibly hard to get into when playing singleplayer, game progression is very loose, gathering materials is a slow process, and once you're prepared for the Nether, you need to hope and pray that you're strong enough to take on the big bad Nether Fortress or else you're not beating the game. The updates never feel substantial enough. Even though this game has been "full release" for over eleven years at this point, it still feels like a beta of what could come. Mojang's own refusal to add content from the likes of Minecraft Dungeons or at least some new bosses to fill in the gaps in progress has been holding Minecraft back for a really long time. I get it, Minecraft is also a creative tool but Survival mode makes gathering the materials for a cool build much more so a slog, and Creative mode takes out the reward for making a cool build (besides making cool block art/architecture.) Sadly. this game blows. Boring 4/10
    Aesthetic- I've never been an oldhead who was confused by Minecraft's art style and over the years, the blocks only look better and better with every update, yes, even after the texture overhaul of 1.16. I honestly have nothing to complain about here besides adding fireflies you lousy devs. Pretty, 9/10
    Sound- C418's soundtrack has an amazing melancholy feeling that makes you want to give this game a 10/10 for "muh nostalgia," their tracks are completely brilliant and if I listen to just the right cover, I might shed a tear. Lena Raine has made objective bangers in place of C418 as well. My favorite track from Minecraft personally is Pigstep. Music bops, 10/10

    i mean minecraft is a very good and creative game but at some point it just gets boring and somewhat repetitive, sure its fun but after a while you just get really bored of it. also the new updates from 1.16.5 are just worse

    Minecraft has everything.
    It's a very creative open world where you can do whatever you want.
    There is a lot of content and you can spend countless hours exploring, mining and creating. But my biggest problem with the game is that it's a survival game where you have to focus on taking care of yourself, making it repetitive and tedious.

    Fun game if you have fun playing in servers, but I personally don't enjoy them too much. In terms of story mode, the game gets incredibly boring after playing for a couple of hours with friends on an SMP.

    Simply, Minecraft just doesn't hit the standards needed anymore. It was the first of its genre, after all.

My PC can run games like Elden Ring max settings flawlessly 60 fps, but the second I boot up Minecraft its only hitting about 45 fps, requiring me to install additional mods like Optifine or Sodium .I WOULD give this game a 10, I really would.

    The 1.0 version of the indie phenomena is still obviously unfinished and flawed in many ways, but it's so easy to forget that when you're building your dream castle, exploring scary caves and vast mountain ranges and having a great time in its blocky world.
