Simple and fun to play, Minecraft Dungeons is a good entry-level dungeon crawler, but it doesn't dig too deep.

We basically decided we’d keep playing through the three major difficulties, but really because it seems like some easy gamerscore rather than an activity we’re invested in.

Even though the campaign might be short and the mechanics a tad bit shallow for an ARPG, Minecraft Dungeons still manages to dazzle at times with its unique charm. With online and local/couch co-op multiplayer, you can have a blast and enjoy your romps with this family-friendly offering.

In short, Minecraft Dungeons is a basic, albeit competent addition to the dungeon-crawler genre. Yes, it’s a glorified new way to use the Minecraft skin but it works.

Minecraft Dungeons is a pleasant surprise. Despite its appearance, the title of Mojang and Double Eleven is a dungeon crawler that can offer an interesting experience even to experts of the genre. It does so both thanks to numerous settings to customize your path, and thanks to a remarkable care in the systems for generating maps and growth of your hero. We are faced with a universal title, suitable for every type of user, simple but not trivial: we believe it is right therefore to welcome productions of this caliber with open arms, capable of combining both lightness and depth with good balance.

Minecraft Dungeons is an incredibly charming dungeon crawler that doesn't have the depth to replace its counterparts, but it's still a blast while it lasts.

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 is a very fun and definitely accessible experience for everyone. Its perfect balance allows it to be appreciated by anyone, a job not easy for Mojang Studios and Double Eleven.

Minecraft Dungeons is a bright and colourful dungeon crawler, with interesting enemies and fast, frantic combat. It doesn't bring anything new to the genre, and takes away quite a lot of its complexities, leaving us with a simple, accessible, unremarkable yet still fun game.

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.

Minecraft Dungeons is an action game that uses the devil's formula for a much more simplified formula. Perhaps the most staunch fans of this type of game will know Mojang's proposal a little. On the contrary, if we have never played any of them, we have one of the best games of this style to start with.

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?

Minecraft Dungeons can be considered as a good way, for kids, to try a dungeon-crawler. Very cute, very simple, efficient, that game just lacks some depth and tasks that would urge players to keep on playing after finishing the, quite short, main campaign.

Minecraft Dungeons isn’t the finest ARPG I’ve ever picked up, but it’s a terrific first step in your journey.

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.

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.

Bar a rather unexciting story, a little lack of nuance in the combat and a couple of misgiving regarding couch co-op, there is a hell of a lot to love and enjoy about Minecraft Dungeons. Rather miraculously, it's managed to pull off being both a game for all types of Minecraft fans and those seeking a challenging dungeon crawler. At launch, it's a little concise sure, but chasing that new loot means I'm not done with it yet, and likely won't be for a while still.

An entry level take on a well-worn genre that after a few hours will have you heading for the exit.
