    This has got to be one of the most relaxing & creative games on the market. Although graphics are not a main feature of this game I think the fact that its like Lego for adults helps the cause. Just an all round entertaining game that improves every update. Cheap game also really fights its corner!!

    You know a game is good, when people come on and flood it with 0s just to make it look bad because the user score average is too high. The game is a mix of Skyrim, Harvest Moon, Don't Starve, and Legos all in one.

The game is a mix of Skyrim, Harvest Moon, Don't Starve, and Legos all in one.

    If you want a challenge you will definitely get one on Hard. I've platinumed Demon Souls, and let me tell you, there's nothing more shocking than going to bed in a place you thought you had made safe only to have a creeper land on your head as you exit your house and blow up half your house, and now you have 5 minutes to get everything before they disappear forever, and if the chest was too close to the door that can be EVERYTHING you've worked for.

    You can be mining around on Normal or Easy and before you know it some spider knocks you into lava and you burn to death and lose everything you had on you. Which is especially stressful after a long farm session. There's a sort of magesty to coming into a cave and finding waterfalls coming from the roof, and so you swim up the waterfall being very careful not to fall to your death only to find that a Skeleton is now shooting at you from afar.

    You can loot houses, you can build up villages, you can cure zombie villagers, you can farm enemies of varying difficulty. Blazes that shoot rapidfire fireballs, Ghasts that you reflect their attacks back at them, spiders being ridden by skeleton archers, witches that can poison you making the Diamond Armor you crafted and the enchantments on it, useless, so hopefully you brought some potions of healing that you brewed... All so you can kill them and get more exp for more brewing and enchanting.

    The real question is, why aren't you playing it? Did some idiot tell you it was just building houses, with no enemies and has no end game? They've never been to the end, not even on peaceful nevertheless hard. Want to bump up the challenge even more? People make custom PVP maps. You have 2000 friends, you have room for some PVP buddies to have fun with.

    It's a game like no other. Did I mention they have higher resolution graphics textures in the store? Try some out with the free demo, the game looks so much better you won't want to play it with standard graphics ever again. Enjoy.    … Expand

I found myself building a mine and building steps thousands of feet underground. I have my pick ax and i love farming diamonds since those are worth the most in minecraft. Farming for hours and hours becomes worth it when you hit jackpot of diamonds. There is also something about finding a cave and seeing water falling from hundreds of feet in the air...also spending hours building your home is frustrating but when finished its an amazing feeling. I had a two story house with a basement. I used black blocks to make a TV and some to make a couch. You have to experience this,if you haven't, to really be able to put it into words.… Expand

    I LOVE how Mojang and Microsoft handled the switch from Legacy to Bedrock. At no extra cost. I thought they were going to drop support like they did for PS3 and 360. Also, you can switch between Legacy and Bedrock. So if you want to play the free minigames in Legacy like snowball fight you can easily do it.

The only problem I have is that Microsoft initially said that only 1 person from either side would need an online subscription. For example, if a person has Xbox Live Gold, the PS4 user didn't need PS Plus. Well, that's not the case anymore. Other than that, Props to Mojang and Microsoft for maintaining the game and making an overall user-friendly game.… Expand

    I've played Minecraft on PC for years, but on PS4 it just feels more like a game. Smooth, easy to control and fun to play. Minecraft was meant to be played via console.

    In my opinion the only thing wrong with this is that it is not like the PC version with unlimited world size it is nice that you can use the touchpad for going through you're inventory but in my opinion it should up to date with the PC version.

    If you can entertain yourself (i.e. you enjoy such games as The Elder Scrolls, Just Cause, Middle-Earth), then you will love Minecraft.
    Everyone knows about this game already, so I'll just tell about the PS4 version.
    It is very beautiful and colourful, so those who are afraid that it is subpar to the PC version must not fear.
    The PS4 version is complete and worthy.

    Although I'm not a fan, my students and my daughter enjoy this game tremendously. It affords them many opportunities for creativity and entertainment. Good enough for an 8 due to the number of people I know that love this game and it's enormous cultural appeal.

    Excellent version and better than the PC edition. The main reason is crafting. The ingredients are shown in the PS4 version so no more frustration and wasted time using trial and error. Looks great on a large screen as well. So what if it doesn't use all of the processing power of the PS4. A great game is great because of content not it's use of technology.

    In creative mode you have all blocks unlocked with an unlimited amount so you can build to your hearts content and this is where the fun begins. You can literally build anything you want. Recreate Vegas or build the London eye, create a fantasy world or a underground city. Build under or over water, build in the sky the possibilities are endless.

    A fantastic game with a mesmerising soundtrack to add a lovely ambience to the worlds you are creating.
    Minecraft is the equivalent of having an unlimited box of Lego and an entire world to build in. If you don't already own it, I'd highly recommend adding it to your collection.    … Expand

    On paper Minecraft is a novel idea, but in practice it is a brilliant platform to unleash your imagination one block at a time and the Playstation 4 edition, though not as complete as the PC version, still provides complex, engaging gameplay that will eat into hours upon hours of your free time if you aren't careful.
