2: Are you hankering for an RTS-style game playable on a console? 3: Do you have a minimum of three friends who are eager to play this game too? If you answered yes to at least two of those questions, you\u2019ll have a good time with Minecraft Legends. For everyone else, Minecraft Legends offers a fairly unique experience and not much more. Just don\u2019t expect to get any mileage out of the campaign. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesixthaxis.com\/2023\/04\/14\/minecraft-legends-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">tsa<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 80 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n Minecraft Legends captures the magic of Minecraft in a wholly new way. It\u2019s chaotic, it\u2019s creative, it\u2019s competitive and it\u2019s an absolute blast. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/minecraft-legends-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">IGN<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 70 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n Minecraft Legends is an engaging strategy game that does a great job streamlining a notoriously complex genre without sacrificing the ever-important element of choice and consequence. That said, some genre staples like assigning custom groups of units are casualties of this simplification, which is too bad because it does limit your strategic options a bit in the heat of battle. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/minecraft-legends-review-a-messy-spinoff-that-misses-the-point-of-minecraft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">EuroGamer<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 70 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n Sadly, the answer seems to be that Minecraft Legends is for Microsoft to sell DLC. The menu screen has four big, bold buttons emblazoned across it and the last is for the marketplace, which already has a ten quid skin pack available and is the only way to customise your hero beyond the ten skins available at the start, or to customise your mounts at all. Lure the kids in with the brand and sell them as much stuff as possible before they realise that there&#8217;s nothing of what makes Minecraft special on offer here. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/minecraft-legends\/a-strategic-retreat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">GameInformer<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 70 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n Minecraft Legends battles to blend its open-world adventuring with the intricacies of real-time strategy, a war that sometimes detracts from the overall fun you can have. Even so, its gorgeous environments and clever world-building inspire familiar creativity that makes up for its growing pains. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godisageek.com\/reviews\/minecraft-legends-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">God is a Geek<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 90 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n Minecraft Legends is a surprisingly deep strategy title that embodies what people love about the franchise, adding much more along the way. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamesn.com\/minecraft-legends\/review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">PCGamesN<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 70 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n It isn\u2019t complex enough to satiate veteran RTS players and doesn\u2019t offer mountains of content, but Minecraft Legends delivers the basic loop of attacking and defending territory and finds the odd inventive way to use its iconic IP. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/gaming\/minecraft-legends-review-xbox-series-x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">DigitalTrends<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 70 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n Minecraft Legends does a great job at making the real-time strategy genre more approachable, even if its campaign gets repetitive. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/minecraft-legends-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">VG247<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n 60 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n All that matters at the time of writing is the launch experience, though. Minecraft Legends is gorgeous-looking, and is thrilling in how it presents the Minecraft world from another angle. It also has a solid backbone for a captivating RTS. It just doesn\u2019t go far enough, however &#8211; and the final result is a game that struggled to hold my attention the deeper in I got. It\u2019ll be decent Game Pass fodder &#8211; but I can\u2019t help but feel like this should\u2019ve been so much more. It certainly won\u2019t be for everyone, though I expect Minecraft-obsessed kids to have a blast regardless. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23681749\/minecraft-legends-review-action-strategy-army-overworld-piglins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">Polygon<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n Minecraft Legends is a charming portmanteau of genres that manages to simplify the RTS formula while still demanding a fair amount of concentration and strategy. I\u2019m interested to see where the game goes in the future; players might use its mechanics to create truly terrifying multiplayer strategies that escalate in amazing ways. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><cite><\/p>\n<p> By <a href=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/minecraft-legends-review-xbox-game-pass-mojang-1850334390\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener nofollow\">Kotaku<\/a><br \/>\n on <time>April 14, 2023<\/time><br \/>\n <\/cite><br \/>\n <span><br \/>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n It\u2019s stunningly pretty, it lets you make friends with the Creepers, and the cutscenes are brilliant. And it matches those new pyjamas. Should they ever finish Minecraft Legends, allowing you to instantly gather your spawned troops from anywhere, fixing the atrocious UI, giving your units some vestiges of pathfinding, and hugely increasing the mission variation, I think it could be a great place. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/products\/pc-games\/minecraft-legends.273771\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Joan Haslett<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reviewers Liked A new way to experience the world of Minecraft Approachable RTS gameplay Gorgeous visuals Full-scale battles are excellent Strong multiplayer Reviewers Didn&#8217;t Like Sometimes it&#8217;s a little too frantic as a solo player Controlling mobs can be awkward Less creative than mainline Minecraft Room for UX improvements Direct Competitors and Related Products Our<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":629978,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4594,23028,46],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-629977","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-legends","8":"category-minecraft","9":"category-technology"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
