    Lost hours of my life playing this game, and I can say that it's worth it! Minecraft gives you what you need to show your creativity while you have fun with your friends.

    Well, Minecraft is a game that is not so good. Certainly, for many, the worst thing of all in Minecraft is its lousy graphics, but the game itself is good ... It has a good gameplay, and can have fun for hours. Many say that this game is bad just because the kids play, but that does not make the game be bad.

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.
    Cool, but hard for building, 8/10 -Metacritic

    Apart from that, this game is brilliant. Mojang make the bad graphics look good. With it's blocky art-style reinforcing it's suggested target audience of 15-29 year olds. But no.

    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.

    Minecraft is my FAVORITE game, and I have spent the most hours on it out of my entire collection of games. However, it is not without its flaws. The game is borderline unplayable due to how ugly it is without graphical enhancement mods. Also, the updates since 1.6.4 have been mostly unnecessary. I would give this game 86 out of 100, even though it is my favorite game to play.

But this game is also a bit too simple, with making a new game being a bit dull and uneventful. It features mods and other changes that make the game incredibly replayable, and there are none of the skin and map pack shenanigans that the console editions possess.

    Minecraft, quite simple can be described as a game where a person moves blocks around to build things and goes on adventures. I was awestruck when I had a student explain the game to me and didn’t really understand the fascination with it. Through some research and discussions with my peer’s I am learning that there is more to the game than I had originally thought.

Through some research and discussions with my peer’s I am learning that there is more to the game than I had originally thought. By exploring the website, I learned how the game can become a virtual reality and brings students together to create, collaborate and problem solve. Using Minecraft in the classroom can become a huge incentive for students that struggle and need that extra push to do well and develop a love for learning. Looking at this now through the lens of an instructional designer I can see where many of the skills and strategies that I have learned about carry over to this concept of gamification. Expand

    I personally don't like this game all too much, but I can see that it's a good game. Hating on a game because you personally dislike it for some reason is a bit much. The combat may be a bit clunky, but otherwise Minecraft is a very solid game.

    Minecraft was my childhood, along with roblox and club penguin. The game is similar to the others in a way that you can always go there to have a laugh, except when you find those annoying 10 year olds.

    Summary: The game involves players creating and destroying various types of blocks in a three dimensional environment. The player takes an avatar that can destroy or create blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations and artwork across the various multiplayer servers in multiple game modes.

    Great game, amazing concept, perfect execution, large community (of mostly 12 year olds). Definitely worth the money. The community is pretty trash but there are a few parts of it that are great. Minecraft is a game I've had since I was young and it will always be a game I look back on with fond memories.

    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.

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

    As of 2020 Minecraft mostly considered as a ''Child Game''. Yes it's kinda true but Minecraft is a game that shapes by what you want to do. You can either play like a 3 year old kid or create complex automatic machines. So this is probably the most creative game ever.

    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.
