A communal imaginarium, a cultural phenomenon, and an epic social experiment; Minecraft is all of these things and more, but it's also a superb example of gaming's ability to ignite and inspire our fascination with creation.

Minecraft is probably one of the greatest games of this generation, possibly ever. It taps into the limitless human imagination to fuel the game beyond what most other games could only wish to accomplish.

Minecraft is certainly not a game that will advise you to, say, construct a 60-room palace complete with secret ways, library, speculative chemistry chamber, picture display, underground woods, magma light fixture, and entrance to a Hell measurement.

Minecraft Switch Edition isn't quite the best at any one thing, but it fills its niche with style. It stands below its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts in the size of the world it can build, but makes up for that by being a pitch-perfect portable experience. The physical controls and four-player splitscreen put it ahead of the full-featured Pocket Edition. It's everything the Vita version wanted to be, becoming the best portable version of Minecraft yet.

This shape becomes the quite literal building block for vast and expansive worlds that can be constrained really only to the limit of your imagination. We have, however, collected some of […]

Still, there is a lot of things to see and do, and if you are one of the five people that have yet to experience this game, there has never been a better time than now.
