Good game but incompetent devs The game is great at it's core, but it has some of the laziest and incompetent developers imaginable. They take almost a year to make each update and when it releases it's an unfinished and buggy mess which needs several patches for it to be playable. Both client and server performance is awful and keeps getting worse every update, to the point where you need to run multiple 3rd party optimizations to have a playable experience. The developers ignore game breaking exploits and major bugs and instead focus on adding useless features nobody asked for. It's a good game and definitely worth playing but the vanilla game could be a lot better, if it had decent devs.

Absolutely fkng hate it Absolutely fkng hate it. Each time I load in a survival I get killed by something because the stupid fkng game takes too fkng long to load me in. The mechanics are delayed ALL THE TIME! It is honestly like playing a s*** online game all the time except it's fkng offline. Blocks take WAY TOO LONG to even appear even after building them. Tired of having my whole runs fkng destroyed all the time because of these constant fkng bugs, THAT MAKE THE GAME UNPLAYABLE ALL THE FKNG TIME! I would try and get my money back, but Nintendo are full of f***wits who endorse policy that makes refunds practically impossible. F*** the modern gaming industry, greedy b****"*s.

You may play with buddies You may play with buddies, build, PvP on servers, and more in this excellent game. Minecraft is a game of fun and "Infinite Wonder" where you can do a variety of things with your friends or by yourself. In survival mode, you must try to improve and eventually kill the Ender Dragon in the end to beat the game. Hardcore is primarily for good players and YouTubers, and if you die on hardcore, your world is over. The greatest version is the Java edition, which is the version you should purchase (the Java Edition is the version of this review). Your child will be shocked at how much fun this game is, so you should get it.

Literal theft on Microsofts end It is utterly atrocious to revoke older player licenses without notification, making me now spend 1.5 times what I originally spent on the game again AND register my address on a Microsoft account (I should not need to give up my private information to be able to play a game I already bought... twice) just to play this game. The licenses back then were supposed to give you ownership of the game, revoking them is completely unjust so remember, if buying something doesn't guarantee ownership then... well, you know how the saying goes.

Minecraft is fun! Minecraft.net is more of the customer service and merch store of Minecraft. But it also has the Community tab, where it posts updates and other cool stuff. Minecraft itself is very enjoyable and the things you can build just with blocks are very amusing. There are multiple Minecraft games but the one that I recommend is Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. It's the cheapest and it gives the full experience that Java Edition has besides mods and snapshots. Though Minecraft Education Edition is free, it does not give the full experience that Bedrock or Java gives (Bedrocks is around $5 and Java is around $25). Other Minecraft games are Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Earth (Though it is not running anymore).
