Aug 29, 2012I honestly think this game is grossly overrated. It's just an aimless Sandbox, and unless you look up a guide or have friends helping you, you've got no way of knowing what to do. And it's pretty costly, at around $30, you can get Terraria, basically a 2D version of this game on Steam for about 10 dollars.

Aug 19, 2014The game was fun at first.Now it turned into a map making tool.They dont even listen to their fans.Almost all servers are p2w.On pvp servers if you kill someone you get called out hacks and the person starts raging.There havent been any "fun" uptades for a while just snapshots.

Jun 19, 20209 years, 2.5 billion dollars and god knows how many spinoffs later, it feels like the exact same game. Seriously, why are there so little things to do?! You can beat the entire game in like an hour. Surely micorosft has some money leftover so it doesnt take years to add a biome (mountains...) In 2011 this game was groundbreaking, but now... its jsut incredibly boring.

Aug 30, 2023Minecraft was really good back in the days, but now the Game is plagued with bad decisions and a declining game/studio.

Jan 4, 2012minecraft is a little bit fun but the graphics are terrible, its just blocks and bits of rubbish , cheap and not good also very unrealistic because i could just put a random block in the middle of the sky

Mar 28, 2012This game is hugely overrated, grows boring after a quick play, and I know the graphics are intended to look bad, but its just ugly to play. The mechanics are boring and overly repetitive, and is not worth the 20 dollars it costs. Do not buy this game, go with Terraria or Garry's Mod, which are both excellent sandbox games. Minecraft however, isn't, so don't buy it!

Feb 8, 2012The reason that this game is so popular is because it seems incredibly fun in the first few hours, first few days, weeks, etc., but the fun doesn't last. You run out of things to do almost immediately, as there is hardly any content besides playing with blocks. A novelty idea, but not a good game.

Jul 20, 2012I'm not enjoying this game. It's nothing against the plot of it (Mining/building) It's just that I don't like the graphics. Large pixels and 3D games aren't my thing. I also don't like the lag that the game gives me. I lag, and I've got a really nice computer.
I don't like it, personally, but I can really see how it appeals to a lot of people! If you are a fan of 3D games, get this!

Feb 6, 2012The 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.

Jan 30, 2012While Minecraft may not be everybody's cup of tea, I doubt anyone can deny that it's an important step into new territory.
