    Fun, deep, varied gameplay. Minecraft is one of those games that can be played so many different ways, next gen just makes it a little deeper and look prettier. For the price it is any easy buy. Don't expect a whole new game just expect the same great game with a graphical bump if you owned it on 360 and loved it, it is a no brainier. Come on what are you going to do, not play Minecraft.

    Larger map size and enhanced graphics seem to be the only incentive for making the jump from 360 to One. Supposedly, more will come to the next gen titles, like the addition of servers, so perhaps it's a fee worth paying. Furthermore, for those who do not own a console iteration, definitely go with either the Xbox One or PS4 edition. It's a leg up from last gen's underwhelming console ports.

    My kids love this, downloaded and played from day one. The ability to play split side by side is awesome, no fighting for whos turn it is. I also purchase a couple packs, a skin pack for my son who wanted to be a squid and the candy texture pack for my daughter who loves pink. This is how games should be, low cost, download, buy extras for $1 or $2. Rather than $90 and $30 DLC items. ImMy kids love this, downloaded and played from day one.

    OK s it gets a 10 because 2 and a bit years after paying next to nothing for this game, the kids (all my kids) are still playing this on and off. There's not a lot to offer on Xbox for 5 - 10 year olds, Kinect is DEAD right? So the kids play this and a mixture of the various Lego games. Minecraft has been a real entertainment mainstay for years, what other game can make the same claim?

    A survival game that has more depth to it than most would ever imagine.
    The game has potential that is only limited by the imagination of the developers and those playing it.

    Minecraft is just a really solid game that likely has the best multiplayer I've ever played. I would say it's a 9/10, but with a 6.2 user score ill give it a 10/10

    Love this game on the Xbox One. It functions better on this version than 360. Plus bigger maps and more of a world to explore. Perfect family game. That will continue to get better with updates.

    On its own merits, Minecraft is an amazing game, and the implementation on Xbox One is of high quality. Controls are easy to learn and the very nature of the game means there are a million things to do and a million ways to play. My multiplayer experience is limited to 2-person co-op, but it works mostly flawlessly. A few dropped connections occasionally, but that's probably as much to do with Xbox Live as it is with Minecraft itself.

    If you enjoyed Minecraft on the PC, you will enjoy it on the Xbox One (though it is about two point releases behind right now). If you have never played Minecraft, I can't recommend it enough. It takes a simple concept and turns it into almost limitless opportunity for play.    … Expand

    A great version of my favorite game ever! The gameplay is fun. I can build what I want, explore a huge world, and fight monsters. The online also is improving a lot, and playing online is great. They have a lot of new stuff coming out and that is always exciting. This game is easy to like, and hard to get bored from. It is worth playing for sure!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Minecraft is pure, pure fun which is a great way to wrap up the day after a long game of CoD and GoW. When you have forgotten all about TrackMania and League of Legends, you will still be spending countless hours on Minecraft. It is the game where it brought us new meanings for 'Notch' and 'Creeper', while still having that classical open world 3D game.
    It is really relaxing and soothes the brain in a sort-of-like sauna of creativity. Whenever you are ready, you can buy it. It constantly gets updated with new exploration items and more additions to an already great game. The PC edition is OK but needs easier controls and Minecraft Xbox One edition is purely the best.
    Xbox One has always been my favourite platform and this is the representation of what a powerful machine like it can achieve. 13.5 Giga Bytes literally pays off when you sink deep down into the game's core.
    With 56.65+ million sales, it has a meaning to be that popular to Xbox owners. They (me, as well) are tired of Pegi 18 games especially the young ones, who are not allowed to play on games with a Pegi age rating higher than their age is.
    Don't be fooled like countless before by Minecraft: Xbox One Edition's blocky graphics and retro interface because, like food, the more you try it, the more you LOVE it!
    The only proper way to explain this game cant be in one word, as 'Awesome' and 'Magnificent' really don't fit MCX1E, the special word would be 'Unique', or 'Ne'er been a better game'. Wait, that's 5 words. Agh, it don't matter about words, Minecraft's gameplay is what gets everyone pumped up for new updates and it is what keeps them coming back for more, each version better than the last.

    The worlds are great and really fun to explore.
    The crafting is crazy, in a good way.
    In creative, as a matter of fact, you can build everything.

    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.
