Game Summary

There aren't many video games in existence today known to inspire the creativity of its players quite like Minecraft. For a game that is quite unique and rustic in its visual design, it has amassed one of the largest communities of online players to date and has become a popular culture phenomenon. It's not unusual to walk into shops to find Minecraft clothing, toys, and accessories that all signify the game's impact on our world today.

Minecraft is based on sandboxing concepts. That is, there is no true “game” at the heart of it and players are free to create their own unique worlds, designs, concepts, and implement various techniques in order to create their own imaginative games – much like young children playing in sand boxes do. Minecraft is an unlimited world of space where players can build any creation they dream possible limited only by the block selections that are available in the game, which in themselves are numerous and nearly unlimited. In a sense, Minecraft is a constantly evolving world where the gaming experience itself is limited only by the player's imagination. No two days on the game are alike and there will always be new experiences available to players so long as creative minds are present to develop fun, exciting scenarios or concepts.

That isn't to say there isn't a game that players can enjoy from the get-go. Players are able to choose a survival game that is built into the main package. Here, players will control their character and must gather every resource possible to start constructing shelter, tools, and other supplies in order to get through the day. The earliest parts of survival mode are perhaps the hardest as players will be racing against the clock to avoid the perils of night and won't have many resources available to protect themselves. In some player-made games, a zombie apocalypse awaits players when the night arrives and these zombies will cause quite catastrophic destruction to the world around them until players are able to slay them or remain protected in their shelter until sunrise.

While creating items is one of the most important things players can do in the game, Minecraft doesn't give much guidance on what to actually do with their creations or how to use the resources. The community is thankfully quite understanding of this and will usually step in to help new players when they're just beginning their journeys on the game. Similarly, there is a wealth of information both online and offline in books to make great use of all the game has to offer.

Minecraft certainly won't win awards for its visuals, but the 8-bit character design takes players back to an earlier time in video gaming when it was all the rage and all of what was technically possible with the available technologies at the time. That being said, the Minecraft character design has become a pop culture symbol in its own right and other leading video games on the market today have adopted these character designs and implemented them into their own titles.

Players seeking to do away with the monotony of “regular games” would do well to give Minecraft a try. It's certainly a game that can pass several hours in just getting started and the truly artistic experiences await those who are prepared to commit to the title for longer.

It ‘s buggy, has multiple glitches, can freeze randomly, and it’s overall not a great port. It works worse in TV Mode for some reason. If you want to play Minecraft on the go, play on iOS/Android instead. Now for the redeeming qualities. This includes the mario mash-up pack, natural texture pack, and has split screen. All these are included in the Wii U Edition as well. Despite it’s flaws, if the switch is the only system you have, than it’s worth getting. It’s still Minecraft, and you’ll still have lots of fun. It’s just not a good way to play if you have other options.

But if I want to play cross-platform then it’s just as bad as Donald Dump himself. I’ve had to connect my account FOUR TIMES. Deleted Minecraft THREE TIMES and had to wait THREE HOURS for the update file EACH TIME just so my Microsoft account would connect again. The fact that I haven’t destroyed the disc yet is an obvious miracle. Waste of my time if I wanted to cross-platform play with friends

The game's creative mode is the one I play mostly when I boot up the game. It's calming to building something, with the soothing soundtrack that supports it. Survival is also fun to play, but I only do so with friends, as the experience skyrockets during multiplayer. But this game is also a bit too simple, with making a new game being a bit dull and uneventful. It also doesn't help that the customisation is locked behind a paywall that makes Bethesda's Creation Club look generous. Skin packs, map packs you name it. For something that PCs get for free? Greed over need, for sure. And the fact that mods don't exist, a reason why the PC version is superior, brings it down a bit more. This game isn't bad, far from it, but contains a couple things that I don't really enjoy.
