A Review of Minecraft

Minecraft is an open world sandbox game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus Persson and later developed and published by Mojang. Minecraft has quickly become one of the most popular games in the world, and some people seem to be confused about that.

                The graphics in Minecraft are blocky, to say the least. But they literally are just blocks.

Most people who don’t play the game call the graphics childish, and say they don’t understand what the point of the game is. That’s understandable because, until recently, there really hasn’t been a point. With the recent updates, the developers added a sort of ending. The player can travel to The End, a dimension that is home to the Ender Dragon. The Ender Dragon is basically the final boss of the game, because killing it will roll the credits. The game doesn’t prompt you to go to the end and kill the dragon, you can do it on your own time.

The End, and the Ender Dragon

Minecraft is unique in the fact that it is really one of the only games where you can do whatever you want, and it is a lot more fun with friends. It can currently be played on two systems, PC and Xbox 360, both of which feature online multiplayer. You can collaborate and build stuff with your friends, or you can just mess around and fight each other. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll have fun doing it.
