    Minecraft Dungeons is a great game for newcomers of the genre, the series, and veteran players alike. Only slightly held back by its lacklustre graphics in handheld mode, this dungeon crawler is definitely worth a go.

    All in all, Minecraft Dungeons is a lot fun. Coming from more of a Diablo background, I wasn’t sure how well the simplified mechanics would jive with me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything about Minecraft Dungeons, from the enemies to the environments to the increased emphasis on higher-quality items, oozes a charming Minecraft feel. A few minor performance issues hold it back slightly, but not enough to keep me from coming back for a lot more.

    Minecraft Dungeons isn't the deepest, most complex game ever, but it definitely keeps you busy and invested long enough to get to the end a few times as the developers intended. And if you're looking for some company, you can bring in local or online friends to play with you. The game was released as a budget title, and it's worth the price. If you enjoy the action of games like Diablo and are down for a simpler version of that same fun, Minecraft Dungeons is a good choice.

Although I feel the game is good enough as a game, having also played it on PC, on Switch it is marred by a very poor port that struggles to keep the framerate up. Having played Diablo 3 on Switch, which maintained a competent 60fps most of the time, coming to Minecraft Dungeons which is locked at max 30fps, and struggles to even go in to the 20s in dungeons, it does not bode well for this game. On PC, playing 2 people, adds a lot more mobs on the screen and I just don't see how the Switch will be able to cope in that situation seeing as it struggles so much with just one player.

    The game is a good 8 from me as a game, but the Switch port drags it way down.    … Full Review »

    Just not enough things to do in the game, you would have expected better from Mojang.
