Minecraft Dungeons
SCORE: 67
There have been quite a few
disappointments in 2020 thus far. Minecraft Dungeons is just another one
to add to the list. First off I was expecting a physical copy release of
this game. After playing Minecraft Dungeons, I would not buy a copy if
they made a physical copy. Minecraft Dungeons is just that lame. Think
of Gauntlet done with Minecraft characters. We change gear so often I
never connected with any of it.
Gauntlet Legends on the Nintendo 64 looked better, and was more
interesting than Minecraft Dungeons on modern consoles. Did you catch
the live streams we did of Minecraft Dungeons? If not, please go here
right now. You know Gauntlet Legends on the N64 played better than
Minecraft Dungeons too. On top of that Gauntlet Legends had more levels
to play.
What do we do in Minecraft Dungeons? We fight creatures, and collect
loot. Every so often we may need to do something like hit some switches.
Near the end of Minecraft Dungeons we get to use spring boards to jump
from one area of a level to another. Be careful of the minecarts in
Minecraft Dungeons because they do more damage than most of the enemies.
If you watched our live streams then you saw almost the entire game.
We can enchant armor and weapons with materials. When we get a better
weapon or armor we scrap and can enchant the new armor or weapon with
the same materials. This recycling is needed in Minecraft Dungeons. Why
do I say that? We are constantly getting better gear. We can spend gems
we earn in levels on getting random gear. It might be better or it might
be worse. We lose the gems if the item is worse. How cool is that?
Minecraft Dungeons is too short, too boring, and too lame. We attack
close range, and with arrows. I noticed it is easy to go through the
arrows really quickly. Four family members can spend a couple of hours
with Minecraft Dungeons on the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and/or Xbox
One. Minecraft Dungeons can be played online if your family does that.
