Last weekend, my friends and I played the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft. I had never played the PC version of Minecraft but decided to buy it to try it out. I played a little by myself before, but after this weekend I realized that it is a very good multiplayer game. In general, Minecraft is a fun sandbox game that isn’t overly accessible at first, but after a while, can be a whole lot of fun.
When my friends and I were playing, we didn’t really start off with a goal or anything. Basically we eventually just forced to survive the monsters in the area. The good, or bad thing, about this game is that there really isn’t an end game. There is game mandated goal for players to achieve. The player must decide what to do and set out to do his or her own goals. They could decide whether just to build and survive against monsters, or possibly find the best materials to make the best equipment, or just build things. It is totally up to the player, which is really freeing in a world where many games is just funneling players down hallways to get to the end.
When I was playing with my friends, we would always just mess around. We never really had a set goal. At one moment, we would be building a house, then the next we would be exploring caves, trying to find diamond while fighting off waves of monsters. It is really gratifying and freeing, which makes the game a whole lot of fun. It’s a good experience to have a true open world game where anything is possible. The only limitation is the imagination. Many games these days don’t leave anything to the imagination, which is kind of depressing. A game like Minecraft just lets the player get lost in this open world, and that is something we need more of in todays games.
