I have it, and I'm glad I bought it in the end. My computer hates running anything at the moment, but I've still had enough play time to build my castle, my Nether temple, and explore a good few caves I've found around my place. Oh, and I found fifteen diamonds in about two hours, so...

A lot of the point of it is in the name. You mine for materials, and craft your own world. Each world you generate comes up to the size of eight times the size of the world (I swear, I've heard ten times somewhere >>; ), so there's a ton of exploration to be had.

For a blocky, pixel world, the worlds can be absolutely beautiful. And you go underground, and you're constantly bricking it because of all the noises going on around you, and if a zombie or spider is going to claw up your back as you get off to a block of diamonds.

If you die, you lose everything in your possession as well and you can't just save and reload, so it's not like a typical dungeon crawler or RPG where you have ninety-nine potions, and a weapon capable of elemental damage. It's a proper survival game - you have to be brave and take risks.

I keep seeing pictures of it and its just famous/nerdy things made as if they were digitized duplo blocks with bad color and texture.
Graphics whore.
