Minecraft Reviews
The defining game of the last ten years is also one of the most surprising. Minecraft is unmissable.
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.
Mojang's indie phenomenon Minecraft has recently been officially 'released', but players have been crafting and surviving in its world for the past three years, Sean Bell takes a look at why it is one of the most progressive and fascinating games ever made.
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 on PS4 and Xbox One is the same amazing game, but with even bigger worlds than we've see on consoles before.
Intuitively interesting and contagiously fun, with an unparalleled scope for creativity and memorable experiences.
Minecraft is so much more than a game by now; it's a potentially generation-defining phenomenon.
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 is now available on Switch, and it combines the portability of Pocket with the comfort of a console.
Minecraft is truly a success on the PlayStation 4 that boasts accessible controls and a glorious interactive environment that will keep players attention for hours upon hours. Given that the game is available for around $25AUD, you definitely get value for money as you explore, build and conquer in the ultimate console version of Minecraft.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition lays the foundation for incredible constructions and grand adventures, both large and small.
Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition is a sandbox gem, and one of the best games to own for PlayStation 4.
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.
A beautiful edition of a game that's still great. Hi-res, very good multiplayer support, Minecraft for Xbox One is unmissable.

Releasing Minecraft on the Switch was a real no brainer for Microsoft, the game has found a natural home and is worth yet another purchase.
Minecraft is still the same great game, and it feels right at home on the Switch. It feels awesome to take the game on the go with such tight controls and accessibility, the online functionality is excellent, and the game is still a ton of fun to play with friends.
In the interest of brevity and my own personal sanity, I'm keeping this review of Minecraft encapsulated to the game itself as you would download straight from Mojang. While recreations of J.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth and The Death Star Trench Run capture our attention and fascination, it's easy to be blinded by the grandeur and forget about the simple mechanics that make it all possible: a 16 pixel texture cube. 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.
Taking, even if it is graphically outdated; unlimited in its features and in the things to be accomplished, Minecraft knows only one limit: that of your imagination.
