Minecraft Dungeons offers a very Diablo-like dungeon-crawling experience without the gore and grimdark atmosphere.

What it lacks in depth, it more than makes up for in pure unadulterated joy. The simplistic combat, coupled with the ridiculously easy drop-in-and-play gameplay makes for a fun and engaging roguelite dungeon crawler either alone or with friends. You'll have fun, that's guaranteed, and is perfect for all ages. Don't expect a complex story, rich with lore, but you'll almost certainly have a good time if you're a fan of its predecessor.

Minecraft Dungeons may only take a few hours to beat if you’re set on grinding the levels on solo play. The local and online co-op play is where replay value is added. Minecraft Dungeons is a must-have addition to your game collection and great for the whole family.

Do you want to wander through the dungeons with the kid, awaken in him the embers of passion for the genre, to plunder the next levels in the evenings with the winters, looking for the most valuable treasures in them? You will find everything here... But you'll quickly think: that's when the first DLC?

In its immediate and colorful Minecraft Dungeons it turns out to be a dungeon crawler far more articulate than you might have expected.

Minecraft Dungeons does an excellent job of taking the blocky world and characters that we all know and love from Minecraft and transplanting them into a light and breezy, kid-friendly action-RPG. The streamlined systems of character building and upgrading here are delightfully easy to engage with, levels are beautifully realised, and randomly generated slices of the overworld and the various mobs and bosses you come up against provide a fun challenge for up to four players to get stuck into. It may not be the most dark or difficult action RPG out there, but for newcomers to the genre, young kids or massive Minecraft fans, this one is an easy recommendation.

Minecraft Dungeons looks at the best of the genre to build its proposal, but without forgetting its low level of players and aware that many of its fans may have never entered this genre. It is simple, accessible and tremendously fun, but it falls short of incentives and possibilities in the middle of the adventure. Even so, the formula works, it is easy to get carried away and end up having a good time with family or friends killing the classic mobs of the Minecraft series from another perspective. With dozens of enemies around, crazy abilities and a lot of color. A great addition to the Xbox Game Pass game catalog.

It's easy to write this off as a 'baby's first dungeon-crawler,' but it's proven itself to be something more; something that transcends that viewpoint. It's a great exploration of the Minecraft universe, and shows what a developer is capable of outside of the creative block hellscape of the original survival format. It's fair to say that it's a real blast to play with responsive and chunky gameplay that is mostly unhampered by a couple of small flaws. Highly recommended to anyone who loves a bit of a bash, especially with friends!

Minecraft dungeons had a lot of potential to be a strong and enjoyable game that could engage the gamer for hours. But the developers didn’t use this potential at all and released the game as incomplete as it is. The developers will probably add more content in the future updates and DLCs but right now, the game is not what it was expected to be

Minecraft Dungeons is an entertaining dungeon-crawler experience in the world of Minecraft. This game basically Have everything we love about dungeon crawler games. Lots of looting, tons of combat, deep RPG elements and almost everything you can see in games like Diablo. Still, the game's lacks of any Innovations, don't let it to become a unique game or anything more than classic dungeon-crawlers.

Minecraft Dungeons tries to be a fun and simple dungeon crawler that everyone can enjoy playing. but it's simplicity hasn't happened in a positive way and problems with it like lack of crafting hurt the experience. but overall Minecraft Dungeons still have some fun elements like offline and online game mode or beautifully designed world.

Minecraft Dungeons is a superficial dungeon crawler without any signs of a spectacular narrative or deep gameplay.

Action RPG in Minecraft universum works well, but there is nothing special in this game. Still good choice for children and casual players.

There is a lot of potential in Minecraft Dungeons (and there is already DLC being advertised for it), but in its current state, it feels like a first draft. If you already have a Game Pass subscription, check it out for some easy achievements, but if you're looking to scratch that dungeon crawler itch, there are better options out there right now.

Minecraft Dungeons is a straightforward action RPG spinoff that doesn't try to be anything more than an accessible entry for existing fans of the franchise. The low asking price helps offset the areas where the game comes up short.

While the overall brevity and lesser level diversity is disheartening, Minecraft Dungeons is an enjoyable experience. It's much harder to recommend as a solo player, but if you're able to hang out on the couch and knock out some creepers with a pal or head online and smash up mobs with a buddy, the weaker elements can wash away. I had a good time playing Minecraft Dungeons. I just wish there was a little more to it.

Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon-crawling adventure that promises a lot of fun for gamers young and old alike. While its replay value may wane with time, a constantly growing progression system and its various difficulty settings offer a lot for those less affected by the repetition.

It may not be as expansive or inspire as much creativity as its namesake may lead you to believe but Minecraft Dungeons is certainly a solid and enjoyable isometric action game with character progression that'll keep you hooked.
