Minecraft Review

Minecraft is more than a game. It’s a household name, a franchise, and to some players, a way of life!

Of course, the game is also old, and it’s already inspired a new generation of games and gamers. So, is it worth it to check out this old game, or should you move on to something new?

Let’s dive in and find out!

If You Build It

It’s tough to imagine someone not knowing how Minecraft works. If you aren’t in the know, though, here it goes: this is a Lego-style sandbox in video game form.

Your character wanders a randomly-generated world made up of blocks of different material. These blocks can be broken down into different components and then remade into something else.

Creations may be very simple (such as turning trees into tools, weapons, and simple shelters). However, players with enough time and vision can bring literally anything to life. And while the game has aspects of a storyline (including bosses of a sort), this ability to bring your imagination to life is the primary draw of this experience.

A Mellow Experience

Some experienced gamers don’t like Minecraft. They may think it’s childish due to the simple graphics. Alternatively, the lack of any clear missions or objectives can be a bit baffling to a very goal-oriented player.

It should be noted, though, that the game is refreshingly mellow and simple. In a time where publishers race to crank out super-competitive games filled with pay-to-win mechanics, having a mellow experience like this is downright relaxing.

Sometimes, it’s a little too relaxing. It’s deceptively easy to nod off while listening to the extremely chill soundtrack!
