    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. Minecraft gave great times to all of us, great days with friends, playing Sky Block or Survival, trolling your friends and farming with them.

Minecraft gave great times to all of us, great days with friends, playing Sky Block or Survival, trolling your friends and farming with them. I don't know a game which brought people like Minecraft at the same time, at the same server. It has an old school look, but 2019 gameplay. 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

    I made an entire meta critic account just to say I cannot **** believe the gall of the developers in this game that they let their consumers tame and take care of pets just to let them die with no way of resurrecting them.

I had tamed an ocelot and named it greggeth, and he was my pride and joy. Me and greggeth would go mining together and fish down by the creeks. 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

    Dude, it's SO GREAT. Minecraft is just a tool, the real game, is the one that the player creates with this tool. The Minecraft servers are the manifesto of how powerful players can be.

    I’m giving this a 10 rating. Does not mean game is perfect however I would give it a 9.6 if I could. This game is a revolutionary sandbox game. This game is the inspiration for games like Fortnite. There are some problems like some glitches, but every game has them. I like the last two updates, especially Village and Pillage. I barely have considered a update bad unlike other games. StoryI’m giving this a 10 rating. Does not mean game is perfect however I would give it a 9.6 if I could.

I like the last two updates, especially Village and Pillage. I barely have considered a update bad unlike other games. Story is not there, but Minecraft does not need it, If you are into stories, I could see you not liking Minecraft. 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. Multiplayer has run dry a little since 1.13 if you have not tried this game give a chance, for an indie, it is phenomenal. It all depends on the person Expand

I've been playing this since sometime in '12 and I still like to load it up a couple times a year to see what they've added to the game.

There are some mechanics that are still very frustrating years late that I wish were addressed like the terrible heal system. You eat a steak and fills you hunger so your health slowly regenerates just so your hunger can drop a couple points immediately so you have to eat another steak again. Heh? It's like a weird delayed heal system. Oh well, at least the building is fun and relaxing. Expand

    Minecraft, one of the most revolutionary games in my entire life. The depth of gameplay is astounding, yet the mechanics are simple and can be learned in a few hours. Whenever I play this game it truly gives me a sense of wonder and enjoyment.
    If you buy this game I assure you it will not disappoint.

    Well the game received a huge ton of praise, for an indie game it's excellent, as a normal game it's alright but nothing to hold on a pedestal or put on a fridge. The game is incredibly simple, but it works, relying on the user's imagination. This is fine, there is just nothing special about it, craft a sword, build a house, yes you can do a lot with that, but I wouldn't say that it makesWell the game received a huge ton of praise, for an indie game it's excellent, as a normal game it's alright but nothing to hold on a pedestal or put on a fridge.

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

    I grew up with this game. It's actually crazy how it's changed over the years. The updates keep it fresh, and it's a very fun and enjoyable game to play. The gameplay is so simple but the concept is super great. -1 for server issues. Other than that, it's perfect for it's classic gamemode, survival.

    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 creative mode, in which I like more is the easy version where you do notThis 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 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.

    When my friends showed me this game in 2011, I instantly fell in love. From the simplistic graphics, to the great C418 soundtrack, this game makes dirt blocks fun. The villagers are also interesting, they really make the player feel alone in single player, as they can't communicate with anything other than grunts.

    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.

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