It's calming to building something, with the soothing soundtrack that supports it. Survival is also fun to play, but I only do so with friends, as the experience skyrockets during multiplayer. But this game is also a bit too simple, with making a new game being a bit dull and uneventful. It also doesn't help that the customisation is locked behind a paywall that makes Bethesda's Creation Club look generous. Skin packs, map packs you name it. For something that PCs get for free? Greed over need, for sure. And the fact that mods don't exist, a reason why the PC version is superior, brings it down a bit more. This game isn't bad, far from it, but contains a couple things that I don't really enjoy.… Expand

    It's great on the PS4 and you won't regret the purchase. Only downside is the version of the game, lagging far behind the PC. Microsoft says it won't treat the game any different and we can only hope that's true at this point.

    Whilst Minecraft is initially an enjoyable experience, the magic wears off fast. I found the best way to enjoy this game was to treat it how it is, a really cool joke.

    Новое объявление на PS4 ужасно. Игра начала тормозить, в частности главное меню. Новое меню было скопировано с Poket Edition, что делает его крайне неудобным для консолей.

    There are only a few reasons to buy this game on new gen consoles:
    1: You've never played Minecraft but can't play on a computer (or prefer not to).
    2: All your friends have it and you want to play with them. 3: The arguably minor improvements over last gen (The Touchpad controls are a nice touch, pun intended). 4: You want to port over a saved world from the PS3. 5: You're addicted.

    3: The arguably minor improvements over last gen (The Touchpad controls are a nice touch, pun intended).
    4: You want to port over a saved world from the PS3.
    5: You're addicted.

    Know this, as of release content is identical to the previous gen console versions (No horses, no hoppers, no mesas, etc.) with the addition of bigger worlds, longer draw distance, and 60 frames per second. While updates have been promised (duh, it's Minecraft) be wary that Microsoft purchased the rights to this game so PS4 users may get screwed.

    However, Minecraft in general does deserve to be scored an 8 or above because there truly is nothing else like it (except for the clones). Minecraft is also polarizing and some people may be turned off by it's blocky and ugly graphics and lack of modern game features players have come to expect (plot, voice-acting, etc.). I however love the game and I have spent hundreds of hours on previous generation consoles building everything from castles, to hedge mazes, to roller coasters, and sprawling towns. And now, unfortunately, I feel like I've seen and done it all in any console version of Minecraft.

    So I can't in good conscience tell anyone to buy this game if they already have it for last gen consoles. As is, with the amount of fans and the money earned, 4J Studios (who recodes and ports the PC version of the game developed by Mojang) are going painfully slow now and I can't help but get the feeling that they won't stop milking this cash cow and continue to over-promise and under-deliver while still being way behind it's PC forerunner.    … Expand

    I want to start out by saying I love Minecraft, a lot, but if you want to play Minecraft the way it should be played there is really no other way to play than on a computer. The PS4 edition is very poor. The button mapping, and controller use in a game like this leaves a lot to be desired, and isn't anything I want to spend time in.

If you don't have any way to play it on PC, or if you have never played the PC version before, then you can disregard this review and I am sure you will enjoy what is an amazing game, but if you want to play this version for some reason I beg you to never try the actual version on PC.

    The PS4 does have better gameplay and good controls but still has a lot of flaws. The multiplayer is good so this version ain't so bad to be honest but I think if you like the minecraft series you should check this one out.

    The PS4 version of Minecraft feels like a subpar product when comparing it against the PC version. The controls were not redesigned for PS4. The current version does not support Realms after all these years. I love this game, but I rather play it on PC instead.

    Played Mincraft on PS4, not the biggest fan but honestly very diverse in its way, and it might grow on you if you the type that likes to just switch on the console and relax.

    Doesn't matter what platform, its an acquired taste.

    Typical minecraft same as the computer almost, but it is frustrating to connect to otherworlds, and they made it so that you can't actually join a world, you have to download the map from the internet and then join it, seems like extra hassle.

    Juego en consola muy tosco
    Moviminetos mucho mas lentos y en general es mucho mas limitado que en PC.
    Multijugador entretenido.
    Las pocas cosas extra que puedes poner como skins son de pago y no puedes poner mods en el juego.

    Close up the block graphics look really crap. It was with some of the mash up packs like the Nord and Skyrim ones I noticed how good the game can look from a very distant perspective.

    If it wasn't for playing with the kids in split screen co-op mode I doubt I would even touch this game alone. It looks, feels and plays little kiddie retro dated. Ok for bonding with the very young kids in the family I suppose?

    Minecraft looks retro pixel and blocky and VR makes every game look more pixelated. So Minecraft looking so basic in general graphical wise works well when using the visual VR downgrade. As in it all looks bad in regular mode or VR mode. After trying several different VR games the motion sickness has finally gone. Still with all that plastic and rubber on the head? Head overheat happens pretty quicky. Yeah even when using a massive floor fan to try and counter it. Maybe I need to use PS/VR in the winter or something?    … Expand

It’s a good game don’t get me wrong but after you play more it bores you like oh I got diamonds okay what next oh defeat the enter dragon what next ? And it will keep going until nothing it’s like the vass speech in far cry 3 were you’ll do the same thing even though it won’t progress the story like doing everything is pointless because there’s a point in Minecraft that you’ll have everything. yes I have so much love for this game but that love comes with boredom and just pointlessly getting resources I wish to discuss more about how Minecraft has been teaching you about life but no one would listen and understand. So I give it a 7 it’s not a masterpiece it’s a simple game that it has. “Endless possibilities can also create endless boredom “… Expand

    Die unendliche generierte Spielwelt ist auf der PS4 endlich. Die Steuerung ist auch eher nervig, als dass sie gut funktioniert. Dennoch kann ein unbegrenztes kreatives Potenzial seitens der Spieler*innen hervorgerufen werden. Minecraft ist einfach Minecraft (6/10).
