Minecraft

I STILL love to play this game although its been 6 years since I started. This is a game for kids, sure, but adults will love it as well.

You start with nothing, punch a tree to get wood, and climb from there. And make sure you build a shelter before nightfall; all sorts of nasty enemies will want to kill you if you don't.

I prefer this over Minecraft: Story Mode (that pure garbage) any day. It's meant to be a medium for expressing your creativity, NOT to be turned into a Tale tell game. I will say that this game can also teach you the life lesson that you need to be prepared for anything (I know, I dropped several f-bombs whenever a creeper killed me from behind.)

A must play, still holding it's fan-base strong in 2016. Sad to say that Mojang plans to let the Java edition go, though.

Minecraft is a very unique game, to say the least. It is easily one of my favorite games is I just want to hang back, chill, and explore. The ambient environment is beautiful, and I never would have guessed that an 8-bit style game would still look beautiful today. And unlike other open world games, it has no story. In my opinion, it is Minecraft's biggest strength and weakness, and I will explained why in a bit.

Minecraft has come a long way, with how much content is got over the years, and the legacy it left behind. I can remember how awfully addicted I was when I first tried it. And I was skeptical before that, so please give the game a chance if you aren't sure. An endless tub of Lego bricks is exactly what the creative mode is, and many amazing creations were made with enough patience and dedication, myself included.

As for survival, I would say that is the primary reason to play Minecraft. Starting on a random world with nothing but your wits is an exciting beginning, and it only get more exciting knowing that you have the ability to harvest resources to survive, but hostile monsters will hunt you down at night. Knowing how to start is arguably the most challenging part, but once you are settled, it might be a breeze. Since the difficulty can be set from Peaceful to Hard, and other dimensions you can travel to and from have more challenging monsters to fight, the game can as relaxing or challenging as you would like it to be. And you can feel free to engage in PvP battles in either the official Minigames game mode or build your own arenas and invite friends to your world. It's also nice to know the Minecraft comes with split screen, perfect for a party.

Now why is having no story both a strength and weakness? The upside is that you don't have to worry about certain quests or objectives. Sure, it's frustrating when you die and possibly lose your loot, but you don't have objectives to restart. You have control over what you do and you make your own story. But only if you know what you want to do. The biggest problem is that if you don't know what to do, you can feel dreadfully bored of the game, as I am feeling at this moment. While it's likely temporary boredom, the game has a tendency to flucuate between being the most fun game to the most boring one, at least for me.

Minecraft is still, without a doubt, an experience every gamer should try. There is no other game like it, and it likely will keep you hooked for a while. 9/10

This was a game that used to be a masterpiece. Despite being one of the most basic games you could think of being made in 2009, it managed to be the most popular games of all time. That's because of the simplicity of it. The game used to make you do everything, there was no tutorial or guide. You just guessed or learn from other people. It truly was a fun and creative game to play. However, unfortunately with more updates comes in more things and more restrictions on creativity.

Minecraft is the most fun, enjoyable, and nostalgic video game ever. The best thing about it is the objectives are up to you. This game has made several famous gaming YouTubers we know today like Dream, Preston, Jelly, Skeppy, BadBoyHalo, Bionic, Unspeakable, and many more!

Wow, where to begin. Minecraft is possibly one of the best video games I have ever played, it challenges you to build, craft and fight after you become stranded on an almost infinite terrain named by you. Using whatever you can find (trees, stone, dirt) you have to build a shelter to defend yourself against the dangers of the night (like skeletons, zombies, spiders and Creepers). Of course, if you're a first time player, your first house will probably be a little hut made of dirt, for some players, who devote their lives to this game, it will be a massive sprawling mansion with a swimming pool and an en-suite bathroom. Anyone can make that, because when morning arises, you have about 7 minutes(real time) to gather supplies or add to your house. The crafting interface is that of genius, using a 4 by 4 table, you arrange items to craft swords, axes or different blocks. The game is simply amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves sandbox games, be because if you are one of those people, this will be the best video game you ever play. 10/10
