Minecraft is a game that I've known about for some time, yet never had the drive to play until some friends of mine put up a server and I wished to play with them. Once I became immersed in the world, I quickly found out exactly why people played it and why it is held to its unique standard.
Minecraft is a special game in that it does not have a specific way to play it; you are the one who chooses how to play. If you wish to roam the world like a wanderer, wishing to see the beautiful sights of the world and building many tiny homes in mountains along the way, then you can. If you wish to remain in one spot, yet still venture out at times to collect Ender Pearls or other valuable resources so you may kill the Ender Dragon, you can. If you just want settle down and spend your days crafting enchantments so that slaying the Ender Dragon and other enemies is a cakewalk or building structures, then you most certainly can as well. The possibilities are downright endless.
Being creative is what this game is all about, which is also helped by the fact that this game gives you the ability to make your character appear however you want. Whether you make the skin on your own or download it off some website, there are hundreds if not thousands of options to choose from. This addition to the game really does create a certain sense of freedom I haven't felt in too many places before, and I most certainly appreciate it. There really aren't too many games I can think of where you can have Satsuki Kiryuin and a Lucario hug in a moment of cuteness.
Of course, the game isn't without flaws. Glitches are sometimes prominent, resulting in silly things such as horses glitching out of pens or the moment of lag after you come out of the Nether portal. Reaching the Ender Dragon is a bit tedious, as it requires such a huge amount of effort to do and even finding the portal to that creature can be a hassle with how the Eyes of Ender operate. Then also, it is very easy to rage quit. Extremely. You will often find your patience tested with this game, whether it is due to falling in lava or because some Creeper blew up part of your house.
But overall, I would recommend everyone to give this game a chance. Play on a server and see what you think. You might like it.
