    That sense of creative progression, coupled with the inherent danger of exploring underground caverns full of monsters, makes Minecraft exciting, rewarding, tense, and one of gaming’s most expressive creative outlets.

    The Minecraft PlayStation 4 Edition is the penultimate version of this game on any console.

    It’s the best console version of one of the most important games of the decade. Some limitations imposed by the platform might annoy hardcore Minecraft fans, but they are not the target group here. [13/2014, p.42]

    It can't top what's on PC, but this is still a fine version of one of modern gaming's defining experiences. [Dec 2014, p.65]

    Minecraft on PS4 and Xbox One finally gets the resolution 1080p and framerate with 60fps. You will miss the mods and contents of PC version, but this edition is perfect for playing in your living room with friends.

    Even without the ability to install mods and play on infinite worlds propped up by dedicated servers, Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition is still a strong addition to your next-gen library.

    Undoubtedly an incredible tool for channeling one's creativity, Minecraft offers a mix of challenging gameplay in its Survival mode while alsoUndoubtedly an incredible tool for channeling one's creativity, Minecraft offers a mix of challenging gameplay in its Survival mode while also mixing it up with plenty of opportunities for more relaxed, open-ended gameplay in Creative mode.

    Where Minecraft seems to falter is that its gameplay seems a bit haphazard at times - the level of challenge, especially in combat, sometimes feels arbitrary and unjustifiably frustrating. This can leave some players longing for a different type of gameplay that Minecraft doesn't offer - however, the game's legendary status doesn't necessarily feel misplaced due to the creative potential it offers.

    Overall, Minecraft will likely feel like a perfect 10 to those who wish to channel their creativity, while those looking for something more focused may end up feeling somewhat disappointed. I personally fell into the latter camp, but still found myself greatly enjoying my first 20-30 hours with the game, especially when I was playing with friends.    … Expand

Также не стоит забывать, что SONY против кросс-платформенности и если мы покупаем набор скинов (что угодно в маркетплейсе) на устройстве, то это не попадает на другое устройство и не синхронизируется с аккаунтом XBOX. В итоге мы имеем жадность издателя.… Expand

But if I want to play cross-platform then it’s just as bad as Donald Dump himself. I’ve had to connect my account FOUR TIMES. Deleted Minecraft THREE TIMES and had to wait THREE HOURS for the update file EACH TIME just so my Microsoft account would connect again. The fact that I haven’t destroyed the disc yet is an obvious miracle. Waste of my time if I wanted to cross-platform play with friends … Expand
