Minecraft review

Multiplatform

Millions of players enjoy Minecraft around the world. Many of these players have been playing mostly alone for years. This was because each platform felt like a separate experience – Xbox players kept to themselves, PlayStation players kept to themselves, and so on.

Now, cross-platform play is active. This means that someone on their Nintendo Switch can play with someone on their Xbox, and the advanced multiplayer makes it easy to join and play.

Long story short: if you’ve already loved Minecraft, you can now play a smoother and prettier version with your friends regardless of their system.

Squad Mod

Despite all the fuss over this updated Minecraft, the original Java version is still alive. If you’re wondering what made it so popular, the answer is really simple: mods. Lots of mods!

Here’s the bad news: if you’ve never tinkered with them before, Minecraft mods are annoying to set up. However, once you get the hang of modding it will give you a whole new game over and over!

There are mods that recreate famous franchises like Star Wars. Others add RPG and PVP elements (including precursors to modern Battle Royale games like Fortnite). And still other mods allow you to build, operate and destroy the most complex machinery available.

If you ever think you’re done with Minecraft, the mod community might just change your mind.
