Not so sure I’m down with Minecraft, ya dig?
Having had no experience with Minecraft on the PC, Minecraft: 360 Edition seemed like the perfect place for me to dig in and see what all the hubbub was about. After spending hours with the game, I find myself struggling with how to feel about the experience. At times, the genius of its world, its intricate interacting components, and the potential to do whatever you can dream of kept dragging me back to play some more. Other times, I was overwhelmed with the required monotonous labor necessary to put your ideas into practice and felt like I was playing a glorified version of Farmville where I had signed myself up for a series of simulated chores that I would rather not be doing. And so, I have a divided opinion on the experience – which I think won’t be unusual among the masses discovering Minecraft for the first time.
