Minecraft

irst wrapped up my playthrough of Minecraft Dungeons on the default difficulty, I thought it was a fun game, but perhaps a bit shallow.  I came away from it thinking I'd seen all that the game had to offer, and that the Adventure and Apocalypse difficulties would, for the most part, be more of the same.  After all, I'd unlocked a couple of hidden levels, and felt that I'd explored each map from head to toe.  By the time I'd completed the game on Adventure difficulty, I came away with a distinctly different feel. 

The pitch for “BlockQuest Maker” sells itself — it’s “Mario Maker” but for Zelda-like dungeons! Using “Minecraft” like graphics. The top-down dungeon explorer and creator has been on mobile for a couple of years, released on Nintendo Switch in 2019, and is now available on Xbox One. BlockQuest Maker’s mobile roots show in its console versions. From the way you choose new levels, to the way you acquire and spend the game’s currency, vote on levels and more — it…

If you haven't had the opportunity to check out Dragon Quest Builders via the demo available on the eShop, stop what you are doing, pick up your Switch, and download it now. Our own Daniel Fugate wrote about the demo on the website late last month, and we were both under the same opinion: this is a must own for Switch owners! You can read his thoughts here, or just below and see what my initial impressions are!

Portal Knights has been one of my favorite titles in 2017, and while many are simply calling this a Minecraft knockoff, I'd challenge that and quickly show how unique and different Portal Knights really is. In fact, I did do that, when I wrote my review for Portal Knights! There was one feature that I've wanted for a long time now, and although it isn't coming to console (yet), it is coming to PC. Ladies and gentleman, you can now play with a friend, but in separate worlds!

Microsoft has broken the console barrier by bringing Minecraft multiplayer gaming to everyone, no matter the platform. That’s right, if you are on Xbox One and your friend is on Nintendo Switch, you can play together. This is actually really big for the gaming community, as this type of console interaction has always been desired, but rarely given. Because of different interests, consoles rarely interact with each other. Yes, there is a healthy respect for each other, but Xbox is…

I had never played Minecraft before. I had heard about the game and I had seen previews of it, but being an exclusive Nintendo gamer, I hadn’t had the chance to play it. Of course I had played some of the countless Minecraft clones that have come to the Wii U and 3DS. But now, Nintendo has given Games Reviews a review code of Minecraft Wii U and I am tasked with reviewing the game. Before the review though, I…
