An Experience For All Ages

Minecraft Dungeon's inherent simplicity means it can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Repitition

The simplicity of the gameplay can become repetitive in later levels.

Lacks Depth

Fans of the Minecraft series might be disappointed by the lack of depth in Dungeons.

Minecraft Dungeons is a simplistic take on the dungeon crawling genre that never takes any risks with its gameplay, but it does provide a solid enough experience for anyone looking for some couch coop.

A modern day alternative to Gauntlet, whose innate shallowness and overreliance on random generation is balanced out by some fun combat and great co-op action.

The first few hours are a treat, and the late game has a nice element of experimentation. Unfortunately, its flaws balloon during the lengthy middle stretch.

Minecraft Dungeons is a welcoming dungeon-crawler entry point for newcomers and a lighthearted throwback for veterans.

Mojang spins up its own take on the Diablo dungeon crawling formula. While it looks like it might be "Baby's First Diablo," Minecraft Dungeons has a good degree of challenge available for you and three friends. It's more focused on lowering barriers by streamlining the acquisition of loot, instead of miring you in pages of stats. There's a decent tail of playability with three levels of difficulty, but you'll have to look to potential post-launch content for the length of experience some dungeon crawling fans crave.
