    My favorite version of minecraft. I don't like the PC's control scheme or crafting system nor do I care about complex mods, I just want fun minecraft with a controller. This delivers.

It's obviously a Fantasy world, its called The Overworld, there's also a place called the Nether. Also it has a small RPG element where you gain experience/currency, so you can spend it on Enhancements and Buffs. Don't forget if you feel bored you can basically draw and make 8-bit looking art in Creative Mode!… Expand

    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.

    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.

The only redeeming thing about this is that it is still Minecraft, but the horrible controls hurts this game. 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.

    Minecraft is a very relaxing game and fun game to play with friends. You can build almost anything in the game. The game can get boring, but you can change that by making a building, or making weapons, mining, or going to the nether. A great simple game everyone can play.

    It's a total crap, the same thing as the others console versions, it's just a ctrl c+ctrl v from every other console edition but with a bigger map. Sony need to remaster this. again

    Minecraft - Limited Version
    + Similar great game
    + Creative hours to do what you want
    + Trophy support is fun to challenge yourself

    - Not everything the PC has
    - No public servers, only multiplayer when friends are active

    Overall - Great game, but not the same functions as the PC has

The story seems to be absent, but it doesn't seem to play a vital role in the game when playing regardless.

    Overall, its hard not to have fun while playing this game, especially with friends. I can understand that the auto save feature may be a drawback when another player may destroy creations, or you die and lose all materials. I would suggest that this game has a server option for many players to continue a world they have made with friends, when the server owner is unable to host the map. Other than that, well done.    … Expand

    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

    Same boring, stupid game. 18,99 is a pure rip-off, since you can get the same game on PC for free with better controls, mods, free texture packs, ...

    Running is extremely buggy
    Horrible map generation
    Trees still don't fall if you chop down the bottom block, which is stupid (Timber Mod FTW)
    No custom controls
    Outdated PC version

    Not worth the money.

    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.

    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.

    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

    While it is outdated as all console versions of the game, it has greater adventure, and improvements from the later versions. It also holds a warm feeling of accomplishment after I have created something spectacular.

    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.
