    Não sei como um lixo desses faz sucesso, o jogo é horrível, o pior que eu já joguei sem dúvida alguma. Gráficos lamentáveis, gameplay travado e limtado, trilha sonora ruim demais, sem objetividade e a repetitividade dele chega a um nível absurdo. Não comprem nem joguem esse lixo, tem jogos muito melhores pra jogar, não gastem seu tempo e dinheiro nisso.

    Good game! Its easy to learn how to play and the controls are easy. If you don't like the controls you can change them. Its a very good game thinking its from 2009.

    Minecraft is a game that the majority of modern gamers have likely experienced at least a little of. It was and still is one of the most popular PC games of this decade. Creative mode is where you are invincible, and are free to create anything you desire, along with your unlimited resources. However survival mode is the mode that most players will either love or hate. To be fair,Minecraft is a game that the majority of modern gamers have likely experienced at least a little of.

However survival mode is the mode that most players will either love or hate. To be fair, Minecraft's unique game design does have a certain charm to it. It's simplistic designs and controls allow for gamers of all levels to be able to approach it easily. Despite, this, Minecraft does feel bare at times, and for an open-world survival game, many of the game elements such as combat and enemies do get tiring fast. Minecraft is an entertaining game, easy to jump into at any time, but the experience that it offers isn't quite as revolutionary that many make it out to be.… Expand

Highly recommended for kids, creative ones, and simply those who like to admire the giant builds in Minecraft. Some people even make computers and GAMES with the command blocks. Sure, it dies really quickly, but in a couple weeks when that new update comes, you're ALL into it again. It's like Terraria, but with less content and 3D. Who doesn't like 3D and a world so big that it would take decades to discover all of it? Exactly.… Expand

    If you don't like to play as a lone wolf, you can create a server on your own. It might take some time, but it's worth it.
    If you like to play a P.v.P game that obeys balance, then go to play some big server such as Hypixel.
    If you have a recent PC and want good graphic, then just install shader mod! The view of the game will become fascinating.
    If you play a long time, and the regular content start to bore you out, then install mods to play extra content, there are more than 300 mods just in 1.8.9. This can extend your gameplay 100+ hours before you start to get bored again.    … Expand

    This is the only version worth playing. You can get maps, mods, and play on servers. Console edition doesn't have that (except mini game mode) It gets boring fast. I recommend this to kids and people who really loves sandbox games.

In Survival Mode, you're put in a huge randomly generated world with almost no pointers or directions. Your only goal is to survive. This game does a great job at making you feel vulnerable, as encountering a monster can easily result in you dying and dropping all of your items. All tools and armor will eventually break, you can break and collect almost any block, and you can craft items with materials you find. Other than surviving, there isn't really anything your aiming to do (although you can come up with your own goals if you want), you're just constantly exploring and getting more materials. Despite the lack of end-goal, exploring, mining, and surviving doesn't need one, which I'm still not 100% sure on why.

    Then there's Creative Mode if you want to just build instead of surviving. This is where the graphics work to the game's advantage, as the size of the blocks makes building easy and simple, but still capable of producing detailed structures if they're big enough. Also, if those blocks were more detailed, it wouldn't fit aesthetically considering the world is made of blocks. Command Blocks also allow you to change certain aspects of the game, allowing you to create your own maps with unique rules. Due to this, you can make almost anything despite the use of blocks, and that's a testament to the game's creative potential. Whether you want to build or survive, this game has a lot to offer to you, and it's easy to see why it became so popular, especially since it keeps improving with updates.    … Expand

    Despite what people say, don't get this game. It's fun for about an hour or two than you wonder: "Why did I buy this game?" And if you don't believe me, try it WITHOUT mods. It's so boring.

    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 is an extremely cancerous title, I cannot embrace how much negativity I have for this review (Espescially for the PC Version) let me start off by talking about the graphics, I wouldn't really **** on minecraft for having bad graphics IF it didn't have the optimization of a potato.

I remember when I used to have an r7 240 minecraft at medium settings ran at 80FPS. Lets compare this to a game that actually uses graphics as an resource and actually looks better at even low settings. CSGO performs at high settings at 80fps. So how come a game revolving around blocks have the optimization that no other game should have? Simple developers were lazy as **** so they decided to just use a script for websites and phones instead of using a real game engine. I feel as if they should create minecraft on a completely new game engine (sort of like the Windows 10 version) however actually make it the EXACT same thing it is now. Another thing is the physics. They are stupid and actually dont make sense at all. The sense of creativity and exploration is the only good thing that brings me in. Mods and Friends are the only things that make this game even worth money. Minecraft creates a world which is easy to explore but annoying to play in.

    Verdict: If you like adventure games and exploring with friends, then maybe you should pick up Minecraft however this game is not worth its retail price as it is the exact same thing equivalent to tetris except its not optimized

    Pros:
    Fun Exploration
    Online Play
    Mod Support

    Cons:
    Worst Optimization ever
    Bad graphics *For Optimization Primarily*

Everything is made of “blocks” just like an 8-bit game but it is much smoother. It has an incredible concept and is available on Google Play, the App Store, PS4, Xbox One, and many desktop computers. But a downside is it’s not free, for the mobile version it is $6.99 and for the computer version in is $27.99. It has fairly simple controls on every platform and exciting gameplay. Minecraft is suitable for all ages and with a multiplayer function, the
    whole family can join a world and have hours of fun.

    I personally have Minecraft on all available platforms: Ipad-mobile, desktop computer-computer, and Xbox one-console. I first got Minecraft on an old Kindle Fire tablet, and the first hour I spent playing the game, was figuring out how the controls and all the other stuff works. When you first load Minecraft for the first time there is no tutorial but the controls are quite simple. Another thing I enjoy is the different “Mob”, monster, mechanics. With one Mob exploding and another one shooting arrows at me, it definitely created a fast pace in-game.

    About a year after I got the pocket edition, sometimes referred to as the mobile version, I decided to purchase the computer version and let me tell you, it was ten times better than the pocket edition (I’m not saying that the pocket edition is bad). With many more features than the pocket edition it provided much more entertaining gameplay. I haven’t spent much time on the Xbox one version, but of what I have seen has told me that it is worth your money. With easy access to multiplayer options the console version would suit an online player nicely.

    With all that being said, if you are a gamer and want a fun, action packed game but with simple graphics, then this should be a definite choice. The cost can be something that makes you not want to get this game, but after you have created an account, you can download it to virtually any computer. If you have a question about the gameplay, graphics, etc, just leave a comment and I’ll be sure to respond.    … Expand

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.

    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.
