As a child i loved LEGOs. How is this relevant? Well just read keep reading… Minecraft is a game very similar to LEGOs with a whole world made up of blocks. Some blocks are scarcer than others and if you get our hands on those rare blocks you can use them to make swords, tools and armour, sound familiar?
It soooo BLOCKY!
What makes Minecraft entertaining is the freedom. It almost feels like a kid who played with LEGOs and a kid who learnt how to code sat down one day and said… “HEY LET’S COMBINE THESE TOGETHER” and VOILA – Minecraft is born. On a more serious note the game allows you to do whatever you want.
Take that Gravity and Architecture school
For those who get bored with the standard Minecraft universe and would like a greater challenge there is the option of trying the end-user mods, that allow for further expansion and growth in the microcosm of your own universe. These mods are free, however, one must BEWARE that some are malicious and may contain a virus.
Multiplayer can inject some fun into what at first glance can seem like a lonely game, but the sensation of fun is greatly diminished when some bozo destroys a one-to-one scale of the Star Ship Enterprise that you have spent days creating.
To go where no Minecrafter has gone before!
Furthermore, dying in this game SUCKS! If and WHEN you die you lose all your items… so don’t do it man!
Overall, the game is playable and the added benefit of multiplayer and a free world engine can make the game enjoyable. Basically if you are aged between 8 – 15 years of age and loved Legos as a kid you might find this game relevant. I personally rate it as 8.5/10.
