worse with every update Once, a very long time ago, Mojang was a very good game-developing organisation. But since Microsoft bought the company, things got bad really quickly. Updates kept getting delayed and things that were asked for didn't get added. On top of that, now you can get banned if you say something that wasn't even ill-intentioned. Moreover, everything in the game and also the game itself is extremely overpriced. I don't think the game will ever get fixed again. My advice: don't buy it.

Very Good Game Very good game, You can play with friends, build, PvP on servers and more. Minecraft is a game of fun and "Infinite Wonder" you can do many things with you friends or alone in survival mode you need to try to get better and then eventually kill the Ender Dragon in The End and beat the game, Hardcore is mainly for good players and YouTubers, if you die on hardcore your world is over, creative is by its name create whatever you want. Java edition is the best version, the version you need to get (Which Java Edition is the version of this review) your kid will be amazed with how fun this game is you need to get this game. Also the price isn't bad for a offline/online game. This game is very famous (But even if it wasn't I would still say get it). Anyways have fun playing Minecraft Java Edition

I bought the game back in 2010 I bought the game back in 2010, with a licence that was supposed to last in perpetuity, however, now the game isn't working anymore. I contacted customer service and turns out they have dropped the old licences, without letting original owners know that they made that change. I never received any communications from Mojang, Minecraft or Microsoft (which apparently now owns the game) about any such change. It is a really misguided way to treat customer's who had been with you from the beginning, shame on you! Cannot recommend this company.

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.

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).
