    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hello. I got minecraft windows 10 beta in August on PC. There are quite a few problems. So I create worlds and then once like 5 to 10 days later one of the worlds wasn't even named anymore. the name just disappeared and it showed like the last time I was in that world, that's it. Another, So I have this really nice amusement park world and today the thing with a no name was there AND its a flat land world and there was this terrain, this different terrain that happened to surround it and I am just so confused and annoyed. It's horrible! I worked so hard on that world and this is what I get? This tall land that is not supposed to be in a FLAT land world in minecraft? WOW! There are other problems too but... a lot. So thanks everyone! Other than that, minecraft is a great game, it's wonderful and creative, you get to make things, build things, do whatever you want, and everything! I recommend it to someone who is creative and like building. Expand

    Fully immersive sandbox game! Its simplicity and lack of story may not please everyone, but is what makes Minecraft ultimately so compelling and entertaining play after play.

    Lacks graphics but a stress released when you need it. A game where you can do whatever you what, just limited by your creativity and imagination. Great community with mods, mini-games, contraptions and fun servers.

    This game has evolved over time and it contains many good elements. Things that I don't like include the new stone types from 1.8, and the fact that the game uses way too many resources, but hey it's pretty sort of normal these days.
    Eventually the way the game is played becomes nothing more than a routine which makes it tedious but there is still lots of stuff to do in the game.

    The negative reviews are from 2-4 years ago and so they're pretty much outdated since the game has really evolved.
    Overall, it's worth spending your free time into this game.

Что же такое майнкрафт? Майнкрафт - это замечательная игра в жанре приключения, или же песочница. У этой игры нет сюжет, и вам никто не будет говорить что вам делать, делайте то - что хотите. Путешествуйте по миру, стройте дома, ухаживайте за животными или растениями, копайте шахты, добывайте ресурсы,развивайтесь, боритесь с злыми монстрами, если хотите можете даже играть с друзьями в кооперативе и делайте всё это вместе. Если вам и вашем друзьям станет скучно на режиме выживания вы можете пойти на режим креатив, хардкор, или просто пойти играть на различных серверах. В режиме креатив - вы можете делать всё что хотите, стройте что хотите, в этом режиме вы бессмертны и у вас бесконечные ресурсы, дайте волю своему воображению! В режиме хардкор всё намного сложнее чем в простом выживание - у вас только одна жизнь, если вы умрёте то вы не возрождаетесь заново, вы просто начинаете всё с самого начало, монстров всё больше, и жизни восстанавливаются более медленно. Итог: Майнкрафт это отличная песочница, многие ругают её за пиксельную графику, но помоему это наоборот круто! Это пожалуй единственое что отличает её от других surviaval - игр. И кстати, именно майнкрафт был одной из первых survival - песочниц в игровой индустрии. Моя оценка 9.7 / 10 Expand

It's singeplayer survival mode is exciting, bold, and adventuresome, but quickly gets tiring and isn't something I would play game after game. For a survival game, Minecraft relies heavily on all features BUT survival. Its graphics really aren't anywhere near as bad as people make them out, and since now you can change the way everything looks and clean up the environment with resource packs, dissing it for its pixelated graphics is ridiculous. The music is gorgeous, Daniel Rosenfeld is a complete genius, and I often listen to Minecraft's music outside of the game. Its one of my favorite soundtracks of all time. The multiplayer is dashingly fun, but while enhancing it, suffers from the same as the normal survival. Creative is of course a main feature, as building is in the name of the game here. And a great building system it is, as you can create some truly astonishing architecture, and take it a step further to design almost anything in creation, and then some, with command blocks. Custom maps go a step further and add the ability to share community created "levels", from parkour platformers to puzzle chambers to horror maps (and there are some VERY scary ones) to back-to-basics with a twist survival maps. Mods are probably more diverse for Minecraft than any other game, enhancing the experience a million times over and creating a never ending game. But the biggest shine for Minecraft, for me, is the dedicated servers. ANY sort of game, through plugins, right at the fingertips. The pure social interactivity makes the experience 3x longer. It has to be said though, the quality of the community has dropped dramatically in the last few years, with invasions of immature children being brought in by certain kid-based youtubers. However, there are plenty of wonderful people and youtubers alike out there to counter them. Overall, Minecraft kept me occupied for 3 years straight, and I still boot it up every once and again. For the price you pay for unlimited fun, its the most worthwhile $35 you'll ever spend. Expand

    I think this game is full of creativity with nice open worlds that you could explore in creative mode you could choose to make your own house, buildings halls, maze, train station and caves. In survival mode you have to get your own materials, minerals, and ores. also depending on which mode you choose easy medium or hard.

Many say that this game is bad just because the kids play, but that does not make the game be bad. I played Minecraft, but things got worse with the release of Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, and with a bad middle game that is Minecraft: History Mode. Since Minecraft was in the hands of Microsoft, things got worse, and does not have good Minecraft for Windows 10. Although the game designers and workers look like they are lazy, because the games have a very bad graphic, as I said. A bad thing in the game is that there are many hacks on a multiplayer server, many use hack, which leaves very boring game. But Minecraft is a game that at first is pretty cool and that will give you lots of fun in the early hours, and still with the creative mode is good to build cool stuff. Expand

    I really like this game because it's totally free ! You want a giant represantation of you ? BUILD IT ! But, if you want to do do something faithful to the model, you need thousands of blocks ! That's why I give to do game only eight, the game is cool, but you need thousands of blocks to do a single construction.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a review of minecraft 1.10 on windows.

    Minecraft is a game of pluses and minuses. Every time something good or special shows itself, something, usually from the fan base, pops up and ruins everything.

    Minecraft, i find, is most fun with some friends in survival or creating something in creative. Single player survival can be boring after a bit. after issue is the online player base should you not have any online friends, as it's mostly 12 year old scum, 6 year old try hards, and 30 something people riding that youtube money train. Many of the mini game modes on it are empty on american servers, as survival games (think hunger games but worse) and factions (think some mmo with clans but worse) are the popular ones as of late. Voice chat would be nice, as way too many times have i and others been killed before we could speak.

    Another thing is the nature of the game, as it runs off java, which for those 12 and under, was a basic programming code and a old 3d web browser game thing like flash was for 2d stuff. Java by this point has gone senile, a glitch randomly occurring which basically bricks your game, preventing little timmy from smashing his mother's acer facebook machine like a very colorful pinata... oh hell, that would still happen.

    Honestly, if you have some friends and wait a bit for 1.10's java issues, minecraft would be a blast, but if you're looking for a fun single player or online with randos experience, looking elsewhere would be advised.

    (Update, It's long since fixed itself. My anger from My teenage years has subsided. Is cool.)

    But no. Minecraft truly transcends "target audiences" and delivers the quintessential sandbox experience for players of all ages. From little kids squealing in fear as a creeper threatens to destroy their dirt hut, to grandparents admiring their newly-built mansion.
    Minecraft is also a great game for all types of gamers. Minecraft may have introduced the aforementioned elder to the wide world of gaming and converted them into a casual gamer.
    It also provides fun addition to the shelves of core gamers (like myself)
    But it is also the perfect game in a tournament for hardcore players.
    Minecraft is not a game as much as a cultural revolution, with many Youtubers making a living from playing what's widely believed to be a kids game...

    With tons of features, redstone and that graphical charm, Minecraft triumphs.Leaving it's copycats in the dust as the one of the best games in the last ten years.

After I played on easy I started everything again and played on hard, so I would take more interest in doing some traps when I need to kill some monsters, and that was a blast.

    Caught my attention how I thought this would be a more casual game, and then I was afraid inside a dungeon, terrified in the nether, that I would call hell at the time, making provisions, walking slowly... This game is capable of bringing tension without constant combat, it's all about atmosphere, and although visually it seems simple and childish, this game is very deep, the funny monsters can be terrifying inside a dark cave. The last boss was very well thought, definitively not hard, but having not to look to any endermen brings an almost mystic experience to this battle. No wonder that this game a world success.

    I bought Minecraft in 2013. I just stopped playing it this year, in 2018. 5 YEARS. That is how long I spent on this game. And the only mods I have ever used are Optifine and the Epicarno Mod. It says a lot about how much this game can offer. Now for my review of everything in the game.

    I bought Minecraft in 2013. I just stopped playing it this year, in 2018. 5 YEARS. That is how long I spent on this game. And the only mods I have ever used are Optifine and the Epicarno Mod. It says a lot about how much this game can offer. Now for my review of everything in the game.

    The Graphics:
    I hate the idiots who say: “MInEcraFT HAs bAd GraPhICs, sO I HatE It sO mUcH!” The graphics are a matter of personal preference, but since resource packs exist, that argument is kind of invalid. I don’t what your situation is, but I personally enjoyed the aesthetic of the game.

    The Story:
    Non-existent in a good way. Next!

    The Combat:
    The basic combat is pretty complex stuff, as you can tailor your playstyle around a variety of weapons. There are swords (basic, everyday weapons), axes (high damage, slow speed), pickaxes (breaks armour faster), bows (ranged alternative), and most recently, tridents (throwing weapons).

    The Building:
    The best gameplay aspect. Tons of blocks, infinite possibilities. I don’t see why people would hate on Minecraft other than to make themselves look cool. (I know, the community sucks. But that isn’t the game itself, that is the people playing it. Jeez.) Plus, the holy grail of all blocks, the Command Block, is in the game. You can essentially use Minecraft code in order to summon monsters, give yourself items, and even change how the game plays. The imagination really is your only limit.

    The Multiplayer:
    Mojang (and Microsoft), have pretty bad server connection. It can take ages to log onto servers for some people. I never really ran into this though, and my internet isn’t the stuff of your wildest dreams. The servers are amazing in this game, and I have made many friends by playing on servers such as Hypixel and Cubecraft.

    Basically, this game has actually changed my life and changed the way I think. This masterpiece deserves the 10/10. My only complaint is that Microsoft seems to add trivial features all of the time.

    Everything is amazing. The number of things to find, craft, explore, and do is overwhelming at times, and the possibilities are near endless. A unique style and amazing music only improve the experience as a whole.

    I don't think the lack of a story is anything bad as the game isn't one that should have a story. It's more so about the player's decision to do whatever they want. Because

    I don't think the lack of a story is anything bad as the game isn't one that should have a story. It's more so about the player's decision to do whatever they want. Because of this, there is also near endless replayability due to how many different things the player may decide to do in the game.

    Then we have the multiplayer. The servers are a great addition to a great single-player game, and grants even more fun to be had, especially with friends. With LAN, you can also play with your friends on your single-player saves, which makes the game much more fun to play.

    The game is truly a masterpiece, and I recommend it for anyone. It is definitely a must-play for everyone.

Also, the community is one of the worst game communities of all time. However, if you look at Minecraft as a whole, it is still a damn good game. There are few games that really make you feel like the world is really yours like Minecraft does. And, despite having simplistic graphics, the game is incredibly immersive and has a very believable world even with the gravity defying physics and the fact that you can build a portal to "Hell." Minecraft is one of the first PC games I ever played and still remains as my favorite open world survival game, it's just the recent changes and the community that bogs it down from being 10/10 for me.

    Amongst all the video games I've played throughout my life Minecraft is one of the few video games where I actually had complete fun. Open world games like breath of the wild or GTA are often praised for the amount of openness and freedom you can have but neither of these games are truly able to compete with Minecraft in these categories. Minecraft is so good of a sandbox game to the point where the lines between it being a video game and a tool are blurred. Basically what I'm trying say is that its the best game of all time.

    This is definitely one of the best games I have ever played. There are two modes, creative and survival. The survival mode is where you have limited resources around the map and must go and mine, craft dig and shovel, etc and if you have enabled “easy, medium, hard” you must fight monsters that try to go near you.

The survival mode is where you have limited resources around the map and must go and mine, craft dig and shovel, etc and if you have enabled “easy, medium, hard” you must fight monsters that try to go near you. The creative mode, in which I like more is the easy version where you do not have to worry about these things and can do whatever you want in the game like building a farm or a castle! The hardcore mode of the game is where things get really difficult, because once you die, your world gets deleted and you have no chance of respawning.
    There are also mini games on the Wii U, Xbox, and PS4 versions of the game called Tumble, Battle and Glide. Tumble is a free game which is basically spleef, where you use shovels and snowballs to make players fall off the platform. The last standing person wins.
    Battle is basically like hunger games, just with less players and smaller map size. Depending on how many players are in the game, the maps will expand to fit that amount of players. You go find items such as swords and bows and use them to defend yourself from other players. Battle royals, last one standing wins.
    Glide Is by far the least fun, however it still can be really fun on your own. The glide mode requires a lot of practice and you use wings to glide and navigate your way around the map until you reach the finish line. There are boosters hidden around the map that allow you to take shortcuts or get that extra speed boost. With other players it is a race.

    You can customize your character in the form of skins(some you have to pay for on all versions) or create your own on the Pc or Pocket editions.

    Other players on the pc version can start servers where you can find other people and mini games. The most popular are Hypixel, Lifeboat, anything pvp related and much more.

You had 2 game modes: Survival where your goal is to collect material build kill and survive. There are enemy's like creepers and spider but there are also zombies and skeletons which can only spawn at night. That's the basics. And then there is also Creative where you cant die and you have infinite everything where you can make whatever you want to your hearts content without worrying about dying or enemy's (or mobs as they call them). They are both fun game modes but that's not all. There are also chances to play with friends either on the same console or online, plus there are things called servers that were made by people so that you can play minigames or other activities that they have designed. The graphics are a good call back to the 8-Bit graphics of the NES, and the gameplay is smooth and the controls are even better with them being simple to use and understand.
