Minecraft is an open world adventure simulation game where the aim is to survive by collecting materials, food, and weapons to stay alive and face enemies at night. The game has no true end but players can fight an end dragon and see credits, though the world cannot be played on again. Positives include the graphics suiting the game and endless possibilities, while negatives include bland music that could allow custom tracks. The only identified bug is occasional world holes. The game receives an 8/10 rating with potential for future updates.

Cost
Minecraft has in game purchases, for additional features in a world you generate, or the type of skin your ‘steve’ is wearing.
Game Objective
The aim of the game is to survive. You generate your world before starting, and you have to collect materials, food, and weapons to
stay alive and face the mobs of the night. There isn’t really a way to complete the game.
Game Structure
There is an end to the game but it doesn’t complete it so you cant play on that world again, you can make a portal to the end world
and fight the dragon, which brings up the credits of the game. Minecraft is an open world game.
Positives
The games graphics suit the games purpose, there are many different mobs and still more being added each time the game is
updated, gameplay is never ending because there’s endless possibilities of things to do in Minecraft.
Negatives
The Minecraft music is a little bland, they could maybe have a feature where you can insert your own music into gameplay.
Bugs Identified
The only bug that I have noticed is when an area of the generated world can glitch out and become a giant hole. It doesn’t effect
gameplay.
Conclusion
From 1-10, I give this game 8/10.
I think Minecraft is at the potential its aiming to be at, at this stage. There is still many updates coming up in the future.
