MineCraft
Minecraft were to start? Well first off Minecraft isn’t what most people play these days. So in this review I’m going to go thought each aspect of the game and give my two cents about it.
The Graphics 8/10 Goatees
It’s a throwback to old school graphics, but that makes it better in my opinion. The graphics make the gameplay stand out more, and the gameplay is the sweet stuff. It’s a Block like graphics a 8 bit 16 bit style of art. In the end it works for the better. It has the old school feel which I love. But after a while it will strain the eyes.
The Gameplay 10/10 Goatees
The gameplay is where it’s at. There is no end goal in this game! Gasp! I know right. It’s a game were you play to have fun not to get to the end credits as fast as possible. The game is about survival. There is a day and night cycles in the game, in day time you are safe to walk around and collect materials to build …well build everything. You are able to collect everything you can see. From sand, dirt, gravel, stone, ore, wood everything you could think of. You take these raw materials and form them into useable objects. You can take the wood and make refined wood, then take that and make Rods or sticks. Then you take those rods and add a stone to the top and make a shovel. Now the shovel can be used to collect gravel, dirt, sand much faster. The goal with all these is to use them to make a Base or, well whatever you want. But at night time is where the real fun comes into play. At night enemies spawn and their only goal is to kill you! Dun Dun DUUUUNNNN!! They are relentless. There are Zombies, then zombies that have no arms that explode, Skeletons that have Bows, and spiders that can jump a football fields distance and hit you. For the most part you are collecting during the day, making sure u have defenses, (yes you can make weapons) and surviving the night so you can repeat the process.
The Sounds 8/10 Goatees
The sounds are on par. They’re what they need to be. I consider this when playing a game if I don’t notice the sounds, and then they are doing their job. Sounds are supposed to so immerse, and if you don’t notice the sounds standing out, then that means it feels natural to you and that the sounds are doing their job. So in Minecraft the sounds differ on the different types of material you are ….hitting, wood sounds like thump and stone sounds like stone.
The Learning Curve and Controls 7/10 Goatees
The learning curve isn’t much if any for me, but to be fair I had seen videos on YouTube of people who played this game before i played. None the less the curve isn’t hard. The controls are what you’d expect from a 1st person game. WASD and the mouse is to look around Clicking thing adds or collect materials. That’s it very basic but works well once you get it down.
Overall Score 9/10 Goatees
Overall this game is one of my favorites. The fact that one guy made this game that has had a snowball effect of popularity. It’s a fresh feeling that a game is not focused on graphics or story but purely on gameplay that is fun. It is though a game where you will love it or hate it; there is not much of a middle ground here. So this review was a little hard, but I’m just showing what I know about the game and what I think about it. I’d say give the free trail a try, it’s not like the FULL game were you collect things and what not, but it does show how the building works and what not.
