    good but gets boring
    but having to pay for extra content is annoying and half the time it isn't even good
    but survival for me is hard and i usually leave the world after i get diamonds and creative gets boring but sometimes i have fun

    Very cool, the Super Mario Mashup is a fun little thing to have on top of your purchase. Also, not $40, only 20! As always, Minecraft is a 9/10. Only because the minigames are gone from the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions!

    Game is the worst version of Minecraft, and i grew up on Minecraft, so I can say this is **** You die before you can even load into the nether, chunks load slow as **** and its just **** Play another version. Even the xbox 360 runs better.

Concluindo, Minecraft é um bom jogo para se jogar online, mas não consegue ser tão interessante no single player, como um rdr2 ou um gta5!… Expand

    The fact that you can play a portable version of Minecraft with control controls is great on its own, but that's all the game has over other versions.

    Minecraft by itself is a good game, it may be simple but it had enough variables to keep me coming back but I believe the multiplayer function is where minecraft shines, most good memories i have of minecraft involve playing with friends and us playing mini games. Creative is definitely my favourite way to play minecraft as its like lego with a fantasy edge and making maps is addicting.

    Minecraft is a very good game. On Nintendo Switch, it can have some lag and sometimes doesn't load in the chunks but still. The amount of things you can do is almost infinite. If you have a little bit of creativity, you can make a lot of cool things. The amount of what you can do with thinking out side the box is also amazing. For example using an item frame for a plate.

There are also a lot of glitches/"gameplay feautures how Mojang calls them" which can sometimes also help you.
    But if you have a ps or xbox, buy it for that and if you have a pc, buy it for that, since the lag and rendering is a lot better on that. But still on switch, very good game.    … Expand

    It’s kinda fun but it’s kinda glitchy because the controls are too different than minecraft Xbox One but it’s still fun to have a Minecraft world on the go

    The first experience I had with the Bedrock version on the Switch was bad, because of the absurd consumption of ram on the Marketplace, which you have to close and reopen the game after use so as not to destroy the performance of the created world.

And the fact that the character creation packages from the "Diversity" update are offline for some reason. After all I noticed that the game runs pretty well at 60fps, with an OK rendering distance, but fully playable. There is the fact that the volume of the game is lower than others. MOJANG does need to do a performance and rendering update on Switch """NOW""", but it's still fun.… Expand

    Difficulty - Medium
    Platform - Nintendo Switch
    Replay Value - 9/10
    Gameplay - 7/10
    Hours Played - 210 hrs

    Minecraft normally would be a 10/10 for me but this port is so lazy that the framerate will drop to unplayable if you moderately change your world. For testing sake, i blew up 30 tnt stacked on top of each other under ground as soon as my world was created and the framerate from that point on dropped so low that whole world was ruined.

    Forget about making a big world.

    Forget about making a big world. Forget about buying cool Minecraft mods like Star Wars (it won't work). Double forget split screen multiplayer. This game simply does not function!

    How could the lazy developers at Mojang not port a low bit pixel game that was made by Notch from 13 years ago on a Nintendo Switch and have it run properly? If I was the chief at Mojang, I would fire anyone who worked on the Switch port. It is an embarrassment on the video game industry.

    This switch port should be recalled and Mojang should apologize. Do not buy it!

    The game has a universal appeal, and its status as a modern classic is uncontested. This is just another block in its pedestal. [Issue#189, p.80]

    It's still Minecraft, and after all these years it's held up, especially when you can pop your Switch out of the dock and bring it wherever you want. [Issue #28 – July/August 2017, p. 17]

    Thanks to the Switch edition’s versatility, combined with the free and exclusive Super Mario mash-up pack, this is one of the best versions I could have started out with and is an ideal purchase for fans on-the-go and newcomers alike.
