    That sense of creative progression, coupled with the inherent danger of exploring underground caverns full of monsters, makes Minecraft exciting, rewarding, tense, and one of gaming’s most expressive creative outlets.

    The Minecraft PlayStation 4 Edition is the penultimate version of this game on any console.

    Minecraft PS4 Edition is a tried-and-true game in a solid console format. Couch co-op is extremely fun and easy to jump into, – it’s like the video game version of the perfect playground.

    It’s the best console version of one of the most important games of the decade. Some limitations imposed by the platform might annoy hardcore Minecraft fans, but they are not the target group here. [13/2014, p.42]

    It can't top what's on PC, but this is still a fine version of one of modern gaming's defining experiences. [Dec 2014, p.65]

    Minecraft on PS4 and Xbox One finally gets the resolution 1080p and framerate with 60fps. You will miss the mods and contents of PC version, but this edition is perfect for playing in your living room with friends.

    Even without the ability to install mods and play on infinite worlds propped up by dedicated servers, Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition is still a strong addition to your next-gen library.

      It is the same addictive game. If you are new to the game, the concept is, you have no goal, you survive the nights, build things and play with friends. The ps4 version has larger worlds than the ps3 and 360 edition. it also has a longer view distance. My main complaint with the game is the controls are not as customizable as i would like them to be. i would like to change the way to Expand

      Its the same addictive gameplay with controls that seem uncomfortable at first but are easy to get use to. The only real complaint is the interface just isn't as efficient on console as it is on PC. But not much the developer could do there. Its a game that makes you forget what time it is. Although its not a game for everyone, due to the fact that it is a game that's really only as fun as Expand

      Minecraft: Playstation 4 edition is a simple looking game but is far from simple. It's a complex engaging game and if you don't look at the clock while you play it may just devour your time.

      The possibilities of what you can craft and explore feel almost endless. From offering co-op split screen to a complete single player experience, you may just fall in love with this game. If you

      There's nothing to say when it comes to minecraft other than "Here's a pick axe, go build something." truly a great game for the inner kid in you. This highly addictive game will bring you hours of joy and pleasure. even if you don't feel like playing just listen to the soundtrack. Its probably just the most soothing music ever created.

      PC = Good, PS4 = Bad. Enough said. Buying this for next gen consoles is like buying a Ferrari so you can drive to your mailbox and back into your garage. Complete and utter waste. And the game play is horrible compared to what you can do with a PC. Trust me, keep this out of the console. There are way better games out there to play on your PS4. Not to mention Minecraft is better Expand

      This has got to be one of the most relaxing & creative games on the market. Although graphics are not a main feature of this game I think the fact that its like Lego for adults helps the cause. Just an all round entertaining game that improves every update. Cheap game also really fights its corner!!

      Same boring, stupid game. 18,99 is a pure rip-off, since you can get the same game on PC for free with better controls, mods, free texture packs, ...

      Running is extremely buggy
      Horrible map generation
      Trees still don't fall if you chop down the bottom block, which is stupid (Timber Mod FTW)
      No custom controls
      Outdated PC version

      Not worth the money.

      How I waited for the true iteration of the dedodated wam to come to playstation, he lied. I guess you could buy it, if you had a learning disability and liked blocks.

      Everyone knows about this game already, so I'll just tell about the PS4 version.
      It is very beautiful and colourful, so those who are afraid that it is subpar to the PC version must not fear.
      The PS4 version is complete and worthy.

      There are only a few reasons to buy this game on new gen consoles:
      1: You've never played Minecraft but can't play on a computer (or prefer not to).
      2: All your friends have it and you want to play with them. 3: The arguably minor improvements over last gen (The Touchpad controls are a nice touch, pun intended). 4: You want to port over a saved world from the PS3. 5: You're addicted.

      If you like farmville on face book you might be into this - i cant see how soo many people love this , it take soo much time to do anything and very little reward. i can only guess it looks so bad that most critics and gamers stare clear of it - leaving it open only for reviews by people that love this type of game.

      The controls are not very well made, this game should let people make their control scheme, instead of the default and the other control scheme.
      This game should also have a server that you could search up, so random people could see what you built and what you

      A very addictive game with probably the best value for money ratio on the PS4. Even though the graphic model is basic with it's pixellated and blocky appearance, it still produces amazing vistas.

      The only thing I expected more of is the amount of raw ores. For a game that's this expansive in every sense, that aspect feels a bit limited to me. + Fun + Addictive + Freedom +

      You know a game is good, when people come on and flood it with 0s just to make it look bad because the user score average is too high. The game is a mix of Skyrim, Harvest Moon, Don't Starve, and Legos all in one.

      If you want a challenge you will definitely get one on Hard. I've platinumed Demon Souls, and let me tell you, there's nothing more shocking than going to bed in a place you

      Excellent version and better than the PC edition. The main reason is crafting. The ingredients are shown in the PS4 version so no more frustration and wasted time using trial and error. Looks great on a large screen as well. So what if it doesn't use all of the processing power of the PS4. A great game is great because of content not it's use of technology.

      Firstly I only play on creative mode. I have never tried survival but mean to in the future. So my review is based on my time spent in creative mode.

      I love Minecraft, it is one of the best games to come out of the last 10 years and it is especially good on PS4. The graphics are smooth and crisp and the draw distance breathes new life into the world of Minecraft. In creative mode you

      On paper Minecraft is a novel idea, but in practice it is a brilliant platform to unleash your imagination one block at a time and the Playstation 4 edition, though not as complete as the PC version, still provides complex, engaging gameplay that will eat into hours upon hours of your free time if you aren't careful.

      Love this game! You have the freedom to build or do whatever you wish to do without sticking to a storyline, etc. the adventure is all up to you! I had the ps3 edition so I only had to pay 4.99 for the ps4 version, worlds are huge and good quality, if you have a vita you can play it mobile and transfer worlds onto your ps4 so you can work on your projects any where!

      Played Mincraft on PS4, not the biggest fan but honestly very diverse in its way, and it might grow on you if you the type that likes to just switch on the console and relax.

      Doesn't matter what platform, its an acquired taste.

      While it is outdated as all console versions of the game, it has greater adventure, and improvements from the later versions. It also holds a warm feeling of accomplishment after I have created something spectacular.

      It's great on the PS4 and you won't regret the purchase. Only downside is the version of the game, lagging far behind the PC. Microsoft says it won't treat the game any different and we can only hope that's true at this point.
