Minecraft review

Minecraft is a very popular game with over 20 million players. It has been around for about ten years and has been very successful. As a sandbox style game, players can explore, build, and create anything they want and without consequences. 

Minecraft for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone is a sandbox-style game with a retro pixelated art style. The game is about breaking and placing blocks in a 3D environment, either alone or with multiple players. 

Gameplay

If you are playing Minecraft for the first time, you might find it difficult to figure out what to do. This is because the game is open-ended. 

The only thing you have to do is find materials to build your own house and survive. You can mine for these materials, or you can buy them with the money you earn from doing jobs. Once you have enough, you can use those materials to build a house and start over. 

Graphics

One of the most popular trends in video games these days is the use of 3D graphics. Games such as Halo and Gears of War use modern 3D graphics to create an immersive environment that the player can explore and interact with.

Minecraft is an exception to this trend. The game is a 2D isometric game, meaning it has a 2D view from overhead. This perspective gives the player a sense of scale, as they are looking down on the world. 

Minecraft’s graphics are blocky, but they don't take away from the game. However, they do a good job of giving the player a sense of scale and the feeling of exploration and are realistic enough to make it look like you're actually building.

Minecraft Mods

Minecraft modes are the different ways to play the game. You can choose to play in creative mode, survival mode, hardcore mode, or adventure mode. 

Creative mode is one of the easiest ways to play Minecraft. In this mode, you can fly around and destroy things just by typing the commands into the game. If you type 'give me all the diamonds' you will get all the diamonds in the game. In creative mode, the player can build anything using any blocks, at any time, and without any consequences.

Survival mode is the mode most people play. This is when you have to collect resources, build shelter, and fend off monsters. In survival mode, the player has to search for blocks of resources and craft them into tools, weapons, armor, and food, and endure the weather to survive.

Hardcore mode is the same as survival mode but with a timer. If the timer runs out, you die. 

Adventure mode is a survival mode where you use the map to find the end. Adventure mode is for those who like to explore and play in the game without survival.

The Bottom Line
