    Just a good game...

    I know the PC version is amazing, and it isn't because it has more things than the Xbox One edition, but as you really can connect with lots of people. And that's the main problem in the Xbox One edition: You only can join friend's worlds! There isn't a menu where you can find many worlds and select one. Only if you have a friend in Xbox and him or her has Minecraft    Just a good game...

    Obviously because it is a special version, it doesn't have mods, and important functions like the one I said above were removed.

    Also only there can be 8 players online! In the PC version there can be a lot.

    What I what to say is that the game even without mods is good, but if you can join another worlds and if there can be only 8 players at much, believe that it isn't as good as the PC version.    … Expand

    It's Minecraft. There's nothing a whole lot more to say if I'm perfectly honest. It's not a huge upgrade over the 360 version (sure, there's bigger worlds and better draw distance but co-op connection is still poor) - if you like Minecraft then go for it, you'll love it. If you don't like Minecraft, then this won't change anything.

    Straight-forward, unbiased review, in point form for easy reading. Please read on fellow gamers...

    Good: -Music is elegant, and inspirational. -$5 if you had it on 360, which is great because they easily could have billed us all $15 and we probably would've bought it anyway. -Really Minecraft is a good game, and I recommend this even if it's $20, because you will get your value out    Straight-forward, unbiased review, in point form for easy reading.

    Good:
    -Music is elegant, and inspirational.
    -$5 if you had it on 360, which is great because they easily could have billed us all $15 and we probably would've bought it anyway.
    -Really Minecraft is a good game, and I recommend this even if it's $20, because you will get your value out of it and then some.
    Bad:
    -You can't see any further despite having bigger worlds, and I was really hoping for an increased line of sight.

    Conclusion:
    Great, fun, and simply game. It's fun if you're with friends, but it's also fun if you're alone. A must-buy if you like survival games, creative games, or relaxing games.    … Expand

    Not much else to notice that would be different. Better graphics, less lag, bigger maps and many other things that have improved.

    My biggest compliment is the soundtrack. It's amazing. I'd give my money for it, and I'm not the only one. There is not much to hate about a simple game like this, and doesn't really seem logical to hate on it.

    I give this a 6/10 for being a port, but a good one.    … Expand

    Its a great game, but the slowness it has catching up to the PC version is annoying. It can get boring when you've done most things you can without wanting Realms, Mini games and the full PC experience.

    A great concept that is a few steps behind the PC version. Minecraft is a very time consuming, tedious mode of entertainment. Just a warning: This game has the potential to destroy friendships.

    Minecraft is quite fun, for a while. With you building, crafting, and exploring a huge and vast world. But after you beat the enderdragon and visited the neither and etc., it loses its replayibility.

    Minecraft é um jogo que te possibilita infinitas experiências, sem uma história sólida, o jogo te coloca em um mundo quadrado, que faz parte do próprio charme, e te desafia a sobreviver e conseguir suas coisas para avançar cada vez mais. A falta de um modo multiplayer de grande escala desanima um pouco se comparado á versão de PC, mas é possível jogar com outras pessoas pelo modo LAN. Sendo um sucesso ao publico infantil, Minecraft conquistou muitas pessoas e continua sendo um best-seller no mundo todo.    … Expand

    It seems pointless praising a game everyone knows is great, but this version provides a much more stable gaming experience.

    Much like going from a rustic shelter to a statuesque castle, Minecraft: Xbox One Edition will only offer more in time, with future updates adding even more hours to a game already brimming with near-endless potential.

    You know the game, and the good thing is that on Xbox One it works well, thanks to a good optimization.
