The web has received first reviews from players of an action game with strategy elements in a familiar cubic universe – Minecraft Legends. It's no longer just about stacking blocks, but also about a great adventure with strategy elements. Minecraft Legends has completely different gameplay and is a new experience for those who are familiar with the legendary crafting game. The announcement of the game itself was really exciting, so how about the reviews for the game?

Minecraft Legends Reviews Are In

Minecraft Legends is completely different from OG Minecraft. The single-player campaign is entirely based on role-playing, which was positively received by players.

An important theme raised in most of the review materials is the style of gameplay, mixing elements known from real-time strategy and action games.

Per Marc-Antoine Bergeron Cote:

Mojang Studios and Microsoft can be proud of their success in adapting the massive Minecraft franchise into a brand new adventure. Minecraft Legends offers a strategic experience that mixes cooperation and confrontation. A complete campaign mode perfectly accompanies the wonderful cinematics designed by the studio in addition to the additions already planned for the coming months.

Besides this opinion, the reviews for this new edition of Minecraft is accompanied by many other positive opinions.

Analyzing the opinions of reviewers, we were able to draw the following conclusions:

Enjoyable gameplayLack of a greater variety of rivals and companions
Interesting plotLimited strategy
Very good optimization for PCPoor pacing and progression
