Minecraft
I didn’t blindly go into Minecraft with no understanding of the game. I knew there was a strong possibility that I would not enjoy it. But there was something about the phenomenon that gave me the desire to at least try Minecraft. So try it I did.
Minecraft’s blocky world seems to have been faithfully recreated on the XBox, and if I’m honest the world is quite vast and offers a lot to explore and do, if you can be bothered. And that’s the game’s biggest issue. If you can be bothered. That in my opinion is what differentiates between a Minecraft fan and a Minecraft detractor.
And to be bluntly honest, I can’t be bothered with Minecraft.
If I want a vast open world to explore I’ll fire up Skyrim or New Vegas. If I want to build things with blocks, I’ll go play with my daughter.
Minecraft just doesn’t fit in my XBox universe.
