There are two mini games on offer on the Switch version of Minecraft: Battle and Tumble.īattle sees you compete against up to seven other players in a Hunger Games-style, survival of the fittest death match. I’ll admit I didn’t spend much time with these game modes, simply because they didn’t appeal to me as much as just wandering around and frequently dying in giant pits of lava. One area where performance is less than optimal, however, is in the online multiplayer mini game modes. No matter how you play it, it looks just as great as any other version of Minecraft on the market.

It’s a little disappointing that the game only runs at 720p while docked, however due to the blocky, low-res art-style of the game, this is easily forgiven. I did notice very brief moments of frame rate drops when the game autosaved, but other than that the experience has been smooth as butter. On the topic of performance, Minecraft Switch Edition has presented little to no issues for me, in either docked or handheld mode. I was (and still am) genuinely surprised to see that there was no lag, no performance problems, just nothing negative about the experience in the slightest in the roughly sixty hours I’ve sunk into the game playing with friends. And once you’re in, the game runs flawlessly. There’s no faffing about, no complicated menus and lobbies. If a friend is playing and they have their world set to open, you simply join the friend from the menu and you’re in. Online multiplayer on the Switch version of Minecraft is astonishingly flawless. So if you like exploring, there is more than enough map to go around, and it’s extremely unlikely you’ll ever uncover it all.īy far the best way to play, however, is with friends. Those who played the Wii U version of the game will be happy to learn that the maximum world size is significantly larger in the Switch version. Luckily, all players start with a map in any world they create or join, so finding your way back home is easy, assuming you can read a map better than I can. Whether you’re searching for the best place to build your palace or hunting down diamonds in a crevasse, you’re likely to be wandering and exploring for a significant portion of the game. If it wasn’t clear by now, Minecraft is all about letting you play exactly how you want to play, with few exceptions.Īnother core experience of the game is exploration.

The latter is helpful for those who are making the jump from PC and already have all the crafting recipes memorised, while the former is good for new players and those who can’t be bothered remembering the dozens of crafting recipes, though unfortunately neither allow the use of the touch screen when crafting. Classic crafting gives an experience more similar to the PC version of Minecraft, and allows you to arrange your resources into specific patterns to craft new items. Simplified crafting gives you a list of all craftable items, and highlights those that can be crafted using the resources you’ve got in your inventory. The game also offers a wide range of UI options, such as UI size and transparency, and the ability to switch between classic and simplified crafting. Or, you can do a little bit of both the possibilities are endless. If you want to take on the role of a dungeoneer and fight your way to the End to beat the final boss, you can do that too. If you want to spend your time building a fortress out of stone, you can do that. There’s much more to it than that, but for the most part, you’re going to spend a heck of a lot of time mining and crafting. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last 5 years, Minecraft is a game about, well, mining and crafting. I’ve never been happier to be wrong Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch may just be the best console experience that developers 4J Studios and Mojang have to offer.
As such, going into this review I thought there was little new to be seen in, and even less to be said about, the newest version of this international phenomenon.
Minecraft is arguably the biggest game in the world, and it has been for half a decade or so.
