    The best sandbox ever. The most creative game ever.

    I don't know how this idea came from but this game is just awesome. If you look deeply you will se there is the most creative game. I am playing this game not as the big fan of this game and not as a 15 aged child. This game is really amazing. Amazing sound effects, musics, playability, controls. It has its own style of visuals. Don't look at the players of this game. Just play this game. GTA 5 is also playing by kids. But this is not important who playing the game. GTA 5 is the still biggest game ever after six years later. Minecraft is really amazing immersive game. It is evolving with updates and never gets old.

    It is most creative thing everything is square it reminds me the pixels. The people talks about everything is square the game is bad. As I sad this is not a bad thing it is the soul of the game.

    Specially thanks to Daniel Rosenfeld for SFX and musics.

    An old classic

    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.

    No a game has such freedom

    This the best open world sandbox game I've ever set a foot on. The game has modifications and shaders that make it even more enjoyable.

    BEST Game of all TIME

    I remember playing this years back, cold, wet and rainy days we'd either go to the Cinema or spend hours mining, creative worlds and exploring the different mods of Minecraft, and as the movie is now out, very decent to alright movie, I thought I'd revisit the best days of gaming. Which, I'm not much of one myself just for discloses, so I wouldn't have the best knowledge for sure, but this game is REALLY good!

    I made a TRILOGY of Duck World's, created in 2016,2018 and brought back exactly the year after, the first one was built with my siblings, younger. And they were telling me how creative it is, everything else comes to life. And less about us, the Stadiums built look effectiously grandure and beautifully modulised to look realistic and effectious. It articulates one mind to create such a wonderful and characteristic piece of MODERN materials to inflict on influencing a whole new generation of fans.

    The different mods is also of high-quality and praise, using different ones to extend and progress further knowledge is both fitting and immersive. Explore the world of Minecraft, because memories hit, buildings look superb and modified, the good guys and the villains are distilled brilliantly into the game and are well-characterised.

    I'd give this game a 10 Out of 10 Because the game has amazing effects, character-costumes, and is very Entertaining to play with some of the best world-building and blew the lens of an uneciated gaming-player, and very clever minds thinking alike. UNREAL.

    Played to this day

    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.

    • Trivia
      One block in Minecraft is 1 meter. So one Minecraft world is larger than the surface of the earth, and is roughly the size of Neptune in the Java Edition.
    • Goofs
      Using a combination of ender pearls and ladders, it's possible to get on top of the bedrock ceiling of the Nether in Survival mode, which was never intended by the developers. To get out, just build another Nether portal.
