    I'm glad the performance was brought up. I play this with my son, and while the choppiness doesn't bother him, it really bugs me, especially considering what's on the screen. He's just excited because it's (as he calls it) daddy-and-me bonding time.

      we should all be so lucky to be fully engaged and lost in a game. sadly the ability eludes most of us grown ups and even teens now obsessing over FPS to the point where it breaks/makes their enjoyment of the game

    I was really hoping they'd include the minecraft-ian gameplay with the use of axes, pickaxes, hoes and shovels. Like how great would it have been to pick up the wooden versions of the tools and use them throughout the levels to uncover either loot or CRAFTING materials, that you could then use on your loot/gear upgrades.

    • @JamesDarcon2007
      @JamesDarcon2007 4 года назад +2

      Use them until they break, and you get the ability to pick up the stronger versions to get better loot or material, etc. Also if hold onto diamonds, later game, you can craft the beloved diamond pickaxe and use it to break into hidden dungeons scattered throughout.. I dunno seems like they could've melded the MC universe with the dungeon crawler a bit better from what I've seen.

    How is this footage so good!? This game plays so choppy on my switch, I've even installed it twice. I've heard some people say it runs perfect and others like me have the framerate issues. It's pretty nauseating to play and I'm so disappointed because I was look forward to it and bought it day one specifically on switch when i could have got it on PC or PS4. And weirdly, it's worse in docked than it is in handheld :(

      I imagine the footage is good because they use a capture card. Like I have an Elgato and a lot of the time my recordings look better than the game actually looks on Switch or Xbox One.
      Just a guess.

    This game is just pure fun and I got it for the switch lite I have not had any glitchy chugging issues since the second or third time I played they gave an update and my performance has been fine since..the game feel may be simple but it gets pretty challenging the more you play and level up..when you beat the game it unlocks harder modes and the areas are randomly generated so its not the same each time..this game has a bit of an rpg style as well because how you equip your character matters more the deeper you go into the game too but it doesnt lock you into a build which is kinda cool that thats different and interesting to see how all the gear works. I dont play regular minecraft but thought I would like this I was not wrong definitely like it WAY more than I thought I would if you want light hearted fun get this

    I hope they fix the performance too. The loading screen is the worst: as it stops the music while it freezes, every second or two. If they are going to have such performance issues with the music and graphics, they should just have a blank screen. If a game has such bad performance, they should not release it. I bought this so I can play local multiplayer with my sons and sometimes the lag/screen stutter is nauseating for me. Something needs to be done, because a game of this type and art style should have some of the highest frame rates of all the games, and if it doesn't then Nintendo needs to hire some staff with actual coding skill.

    UPD: okay, bought it for my son, played 2 stages with him and had to quit. Yes the game was very simple and boring, but that's not the worst part, the screen judder and camera skip was HORRID, it was giving me a headache and motion sickness in about 15 minutes. I have never seen a game have such a hard time playing on the Switch, this game should not have been released in this state. They should refund all purchases until they can get it right.

    This review is kinda trash, for only 20$ the game has a lot of content, only beating the final boss on the first difficulty isn't beating the game, beating the game is finishing it on the hardest difficulty, which takes a long time to get to but proves to be worth your money. I mean there are people who can play for tens of hours on the game, and will still be grinding for that boss finish or a higher lvl. So much was overlooked in this review, and they also didnt factor in that the game was just released, and there is sure to be more besides the DLC packs.

    Why did Mojang change the cam angle to static isometric? This looks like kid-diablo. We wouldve preferred this game with the traditional Minecraft camera. This isometric view departs waaay too far from Minecraft. Its trying to be Diablen or Baldurs Gate. LAME! Mojang could build this game as a new “story” mode INTO Minecraft. But change the cam angle, split off as a new product... they’re really milking this franchise. Even more LAME. Whats next Mojang? $29 for Mincraft Oceans, $29 for Minecraft Space, $29 for Mincraft NNN... endless money pit.

    I'm not a fan of this game, doesn't look ( fun for me ) just too simple for me. Just like POE honestly

    Generic dungeon crawler with Minecraft graphics. 👎

    sigh...its a good thing we have minecraft dungeons online, because minecraft will shut down their servers in December 2020. (minecraft dungeons will NOT shut down their servers.)
