    This came is an absolute masterpiece. A work of art. It may not be for everyone, but it is so well made. And it gets regular free updates too!

    Best games are not the games who are the most played in their years, are the ones who remain in your heart and you feel the nostalgia when you go back.

At 20$ you cannot find a masterpiece like Minecraft which can be played on every console. Even Minecraft was published in 2009, it still got updates, deals. Probably this game made a lot of children laughing and spending their time in a Mature game. Perhaps Minecraft is the best game of all times. Expand

    This game is absolutely incredible! Build a skyscraper, build a Redstone contraption, survive the incredible adventure that is survival mode, play on servers and meet new people, and a lot of other things. EPIC

He was my ride or die until I woke up from my minecraft slumber to find that my beloved greggeth has spawned inside my **** fireplace and before I could even reach him with water my baby he had died and I had nothing except the chat log which said 'Cat went up in flames'. Really? REALLY? You are going to give your animals the AI and survival instincts of a paraplegic dodo and then make it so there is no way to get back my pet who I had bonded with and grew along side. This should honestly be illegal and unless greggeth is returned I will be in contact with the authorities. Expand

I like the Easter Eggs and references they make towards them and third party entertainment, like paintings and name tags. This game is literally the best at modding.

There isn't a story (not an issue, that's not what the game is about) the music is repetitive, though the idea of finding music is definitely interesting. The animation and combat are very lackluster, but the mechanic they're trying to advertise works excellently and that's the praise I have for this game. Expand

    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. Overall if your looking for a fun sometimes family friendly game then this perfect for you. There is no wonder why its one of the best selling games of all time Expand

    The player cannot sleep if a "monster" is within 8 blocks of the bed horizontally (along each axis) and 5 blocks vertically. If a monster is nearby, even through a wall, the message "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby" will be displayed and the player will not be able to sleep (even in Creative mode‌[Legacy Console Edition only]) until the monsters leave or are killed. Most hostile mobs, with the exception of some, as well as some neutral mobs, will prevent players from sleeping.

    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.

    Without Minecraft, we would not have any cringy stuff to talk about since the community itself would not exist. I owe you that, dear Mojang. Also, never played it and I'm certainly not going to play it since it's just a boring sandbox game.

    Minecraft used to be a perfect game, a 10/10 for me. This was before Microsoft stepped in and completely f****d everything up. Instead of the updates adding necessary features to the game, now, they feel completely unnecessary. The prime example for this would be the unnecessary texture changes that for a huge majority, look worse than the original textures.

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.

    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.

    Minecraft used to be a good game until Microsoft bought Mojhang.
    Now they've removed or changed everything that used to be good, and turned it into something worse.
    Examples are different map sizes (now it's only infinite, flat or old), movement (speed and comfort, now it glides in a way that it didn't before, and placing blocks in a row, it now can't keep up, but just suddenly stops).

    On top of all this, they didn't change anything but the basic "add new blocks, add new textures" etc... Basically Minecraft is an exact copy of the game it was at launch, with incredibly minor changes.

    One would think that microsoft would be able to make wonders when they took over, but they have really only turned it into a cash-grab mess. It's a shame when you think about what Minecraft could've became after all these years!

    The item or block features are pretty simple,but they do have their own law to make this block world vivid.this is the most charming things for me.It has duplicated another world which has no stress no sorrow and always made me grin.

    A good game that you shouldn't buy.
    Indeed, in this game lies the potential of greatness, a potential that would have to be unlocked by yourself nonetheless.
    However, while it proably deserves your time, it does not deserve your money for a number of reasons wich can be summed up quickly : the stupidity, greed and laziness of the devellopers. Now let's make a list of the detailed issues
    A good game that you shouldn't buy.
    Indeed, in this game lies the potential of greatness, a potential that would have to be unlocked by yourself nonetheless.
    However, while it proably deserves your time, it does not deserve your money for a number of reasons wich can be summed up quickly : the stupidity, greed and laziness of the devellopers.
    Now let's make a list of the detailed issues :

    1. The devellopers are too stupid to programm a game correctly :
    There's no denying it, the way that this game has been coded is very amateurish, the fact that it runs on java is a dead giveaway. The game is very poorly optimized
    and for its poor graphics, uses a lot of superfluous resources from your computer, if you want to play it in a way that gives you an acceptable viewing range or relatively pretty graphics to admire your creations , be prepared to use a very beefy computer and forget about playing it that way on the go.

    2. The devellopers are too stupid and morally corrupt to fix a BUG :
    If you want to make a functioning, complex piston machine there's one thing that will f*ck you over : the "quasi-connectivity" BUG, a BUG wich defies logic (because it's a BUG, duh), in the way that it creates unpredictable leaps of activation by redstone, in short, it goes against the principle of this game wich is "block by block" (not my words indeed, as the the official name of a Minecr*ft charity project is "block by block initiative"), and instead adds a whole bunch of nonsensical "rules" wich kill a lot of possibilities.
    Now, you surely want to ask, why do I stress the word "BUG" like a r*tard ? Well, it's simple, after this BUG was discovered, like with any BUGS, people started to exploit it to create new possibilities, and that is normal, however the ret*rded devellopers decided not to fix the bug and insted "make" it (make as in makebelieve) a "feature" (no, I'm not kidding you https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-14664). I consider this to be the proof of two things : a huge part of the minecraft community (best exemplified by this person https://youtu.be/aRdcptG365I?t=105), as well as the dev team are completely ret*rded and morally corrupt. You have to be either one of these things at an extreme or both if you think that a BUG wich breaks the game, could not a) be replaced by an actual separate FEATURE of the game b) not be given priority in every version of Minecr*ft, and instead be kept for those who absolutely need it in older versions, or even, god forbid, become optional (yes, yes, 10 years olds, its mind-blowing)

    3. The devellopers need an eternity to create simple updates
    Updates for this game take several months to be realeased. That would be nothing unusual if the updates wouldn't consist of pretty much nothing. for example between november 2016 and June 2017 (1.11 and 1.12), the only major changes were better coloration and a turorial.
    If you want more evidence that the devellopers are lazy, look no further than the big layers of fat wich envellop Markus Persson's body, who, if you didn't already know, is the founder of Minecraft and has stopped working on it a while ago to sell it for 2.5 billions $ to Micro$oft and, thus proceeded to do, and still does, nothing all day.

    Considering this, you might agree that it would be amoral to buy this game, because I don't think it is really necessary for some incompetent nobodies to cash in on an idea that was made 10 years ago while seldom producing anything of worth.
    F*ck the lazy and stupid programmers, f*ck Micro$oft, f*ck the ret*rds that defend this game, and download a cracked version on the internet. Cheers.

Minecraft’s special point is that the game basically has no rules! Each time you enter into a new world, you are in a different map made by different blocks which can be destroyed and built into whatever you like. This freedom is what makes Minecraft a magical game - it gives you enough space and resource to create a world as you see fit. You can enjoy creating your own crazy ideas, exploring the world and completing your own map.
    Another special point is that the game obeys scientific principles to make the game world seem more real. For example, if you use the lighter on the tree, the tree will be burnt; if you cut a sand block down, other sand blocks over it will fall down. The fact that everything in the world acts as how you would expect it to be gives you a more natural game experience.
    Minecraft is really an awesome game that anyone can enjoy. It is great both as a single player game or as a party game that you can play with your friends. By yourself, you can mold your own special world; with friends, you can fight in a fighting map. No matter the situation, you can get a lot of enjoyment out of the game.
    Minecraft is also a game that can be enjoyed by players of all ages. Young kids can practice their ability of innovation through creating different things. Adults can stay out of the stress during the time they are playing this game. People of different ages can find different things to enjoy from the game, and this is what makes Minecraft suitable for both the young and old.

    There are about 15 different kinds of enemies in the game, which is odd considering the variety of biomes. Combat is limited to swords and bows. There are only 5 tiers of tools/armors/weapons. Crafting also feels limited and item stack sizes are only 64.

    Bosses seem rushed and untested. The Ender Dragon is very difficult even on easy mode.

    There are several "grindy" parts of the game. For example, enchanting costs levels to perform, and even enchanting 2-3 items can take 1-4 hours of level grinding. To get to The End the first time requires 14-16 ender pearls which drop from a rare enemy. To summon the Wither boss requires 3 wither skulls which are a very rare drop from a very rare enemy.

    Spent $27, played 180 hours, not recommended because there are better sandbox games.

Since 2009, Mojang has been making the game better for people of all ages to ease into the gaming world by entering through the gateway to gaming (Even your grandma could learn the controls it’s that simple). This game, like no other, features key aspects which make it stand out to any other game on the market. The graphics on this game give most people a nostalgic throwback to the 90’s playing around in an 8-bit graphic sandbox but very creatively blended in with modern day shaders to make this game look like the mona lisa painted on an 8 bit colour palette.
    The game doesn’t need a story. Your keyboard and mouse make the story. Nobody knows where this character ‘Steve’ came from, but he is the only human to exist, surrounded by a vast world of 60 million square meters (Bigger than Earth!) which can be sculpted by your very own bare hands.
    The game features very ambient distinct music, which soothes any moment from running away from creeper in a mineshaft or just building your house to survive the first night. What makes this game special on computer is that it can be run on most modern day computers, ranging from the Intel Pentium laptops to the monster rig you got your grandma to buy you for Christmas to play a 90’s doom sandbox game. You even get the choice to play earlier versions of the game for more compatibility, not mentioning that the game is almost on every platform makes it very easy to get your hands on.
    However, in the recent years Mojang has come up with ideas to possibly make this game any better, but they have somewhat failed to do so. I think the game is complete and needs no further updates. Minecraft doesn’t need anything more to it, and every time they add new features to the game they are making it harder to gain an expanding audience. There also doesn’t need to be a market. Micro transactions are not the way to go. I wouldn’t mind buying the game for extra money to not get irritated by Microsoft’s scheme of an ingame currency to buy skins that has always been free to PC JavaScript version users.
    Overall, I think that Minecraft should not be improved and the game remains a piece of history in the museum of gaming which has changed the perspective of people who don’t see success in game if it doesn’t have ‘intense 4K texture graphic rendering’ and pay attention to the unique features of a game that has different features to the triple A games we have today.
