Minecraft Dungeons Reviews
All in all, Minecraft Dungeons is a lot fun. Coming from more of a Diablo background, I wasn't sure how well the simplified mechanics would jive with me, but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything about Minecraft Dungeons, from the enemies to the environments to the increased emphasis on higher-quality items, oozes a charming Minecraft feel. A few minor performance issues hold it back slightly, but not enough to keep me from coming back for a lot more.
The epitome of good things coming in small packages, Minecraft Dungeons is simple, wholesome fun.
That’s Minecraft Dungeons in a nutshell though - what’s here is mostly fantastic, but what’s missing feels like it could have pushed it beyond greatness.
A robust and engaging dungeon-crawling action-RPG with depth to spare, Minecraft Dungeons might not have the wealth of stats and loot that Diablo and its ilk have, but it's an enormously impressive take on the genre, regardless.
Despite a shallow loot system, Minecraft Dungeons crafts an enjoyable and relaxing dungeon crawling experience that offers something for both fans of the series and fans of the genre.
Minecraft Dungeons won’t do much for you if you’re looking for a new, true blue dungeon crawler. But if you have a little one to tag along on your expeditions, this is an accessible, cheerful, and polished romp perfect for extra bonding time.
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.
Considering the game’s asking price, Minecraft Dungeons should be a must-buy for anyone who enjoys a good dungeon-crawling adventure.
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 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.
In its immediate and colorful Minecraft Dungeons it turns out to be a dungeon crawler far more articulate than you might have expected.

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?

It’s just a shame there’s no sign of the Minecraft’s primary mechanic, which would have been a great addition to the overall experience. It’s a good laugh and as is so often with co-op games, you’ll get the most out of it with your pals/family.
This is a highly repetitive game that will still keep you in suspense and will not let you rest. So far, its playing time is very short, which will hopefully change with the advent of DLC. Sometimes, a mobs gets stuck somewhere, but it's a bug that can be considered positive. Minecraft Dungeons can be played by younger and older players. You are not bothered by any complicated crafting system, and you are not exposed to anything you have to think deeply about.

Minecraft Dungeons: Hero Edition isn't going to take your breath away, but it does provide a charming spin on the dungeon crawler/hack-and-slash formula that warrants some attention for fans of the genre. The core Minecraft experience is kept well in tact while re-balancing most of its mechanics to be better suited to its genre shift.
Minecraft Dungeons may not fully satisfy the hardcore looters coming from other games where they grind for gear and min-max their builds, but if you approach it with its purpose in mind, you'll likely get a lot out of it. The unlikely direction for the Minecraft formula works well in the first major departure for the franchise, and with how vast the source material is in terms of biomes and content to explore, there's a lot of room for this sort of thing to grow. It's a success from the start, and it feels like it'll only get better with age.
With a short campaign mode and lack of crafting, Minecraft Dungeons may not be a hardcore offering that will give you hundreds of hours of play, but it is a perfect way to spend a few hours playing together with friends or your kids while you wait for the next season of your favorite dungeon crawler to start up.
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.

Simple, straightforward, and unapologetically Minecraft, Minecraft Dungeons is a pretty good dungeon-crawling action-roleplaying game that does not dig deep into its inspirations.
Although repetitive, Minecraft Dungeon manages to entertain thanks to an extremely simple game mode that makes it possible for anyone to find their ideal "level of difficulty". The urge to find new, more powerful equipment tends to keep you "greedily" glued in front of the monitor.
