Minecraft Review (PC)

Be sure to check out our review of Minecraft Xbox 360 edition and our Minecraft Merchandise Showcase!

Minecraft is an open-world sandbox game created by Mojang Studios and offers limitless gameplay! Minecraft offers 2 modes to play on, "Creative" and "Survival". Creative mode is as it is stated, a mode where you are free to use all of the blocks and an endless amount to create whatever you feel like doing, and you can do this in multiplayer as well, and build with your friends and strangers alike!


  Survival Mode is arguably the main mode of the game, as you start out on your own random world (like in Creative Mode), and you must cut down trees, mine for stone and other materials (like iron, gold, copper, coal, ect) and build your own home to survive the coming night. If you don't have safe lodgings by nightfall,  or venture too far into dark places, like caves for example, you will be attacked by creepers, skeletons, zombies, skeletons and other nasty creatures.

   You have a wide variety of different items to craft, such as swords, shovels, picks, axes, and more, and each tool has it's uses and can be created out of most materials, such as wood, stone, and metals. This game can be very addicting and even more fun to play with friends in survival mode together, as I have played the PC version with quite a few and we have always had fun trying to create powerful fortresses and other crazy inventions.

  This game also has a lot of great mods to play with too if you need something different or challenging for your game, and there is a wide variety to choose from in this day and age. Unlike some games by bigger companies, this game allows you to mod it to come up with different playstyles, adding new objects, and much more!

  You can get Minecraft for Free by downloading the Classic mode, but it is very much outdated and limited, but if you want to full version you can go to Minecraft.net and order, plus download your game there. You can also use some free programs to customize your minecraft avatar by going here, and this is the one I used to custom create my own avatar.

  Overall this game is a lot of fun for people who enjoy being creative and making all kinds of neat and cool things. Just type in minecraft on google, and look at some images and you will see some amazing structures built by the game community as an inspiration for your own projects. If you like being creative and building, or really enjoyed playing Legos, then you will really enjoy this game!
