  • 2017, Paweł Opydo, Medium Polska, Dlaczego „Minecraft” to doskonała gra?:
    Nie dajcie się zwieść pozorom. Nie dajcie sobie udowodnić, że to niewarta uwagi gra dla dzieci. „Minecraft” nie pasuje do żadnej definicji, nie ma scenariusza, dialogów, instrukcji. To, co zrobili twórcy, to danie graczom klocków i powiedzenie: bawcie się. A zabawa jest przednia. Zagrajcie koniecznie, jeśli będziecie mieli okazję, umówcie się ze znajomymi na Skype, otwórzcie piwo, zbudujcie razem coś fajnego, pokonajcie parę potworów. Gwarantuję, że nie będziecie żałować.

    Minecraft’ın 100 milyondan fazla aktif kullanıcısı var ve en çok oynanan bilgisayar oyunları arasında yer alıyor. Fakat oyunla ilgili böyle düşüncelerin olması, aklımıza GTA oyunlarını getirdi.
