Minecraft Legends is a strategy game that takes place in a closed map full of villages and strongholds, where you must defend the first ones and assault the second ones. In addition, points of interest will appear on the map, where you will have to investigate in order to increase your skills. However, it’s a game with hardly any mechanics nor exploration, something that may not be a problem for newcomers but will sure be for the fans of the genre.

This quaint little strategy title brings the best of Minecraft's family-friendly tone to bear, with some lovely visuals to boot. It's not wildly complex, but is perfect for those looking to enjoy Minecraft's vibe in a new genre.

Minecraft Legends is a proper strategy game, despite the friendly look. Scratching the surface will show a surprising amount of depth and whilst hardcore RTS players may sneer, it brings a ton of fun to the table.

I believe this game has the template to make an all time game some day. I don't know if it's just me but the idea of a instrumental weilding / music forward game, beautiful world, story rich game will one day be a GOTY. This however, is not it, the genre of game is quite unique, in my opinion is far better than mincraft dungeons. I think the idea of an open world thing where ur defending these places and running around places and such is a little tedious - there doesn't appear to be a focus on the character stats or equipment which it might have benefited from. I liked the narrative VA driven lead. Also I can tell the world was made quite beaifutully - its teaming with life.

Minecraft Legends is gaming at its best - fun, welcoming, evolving, easy to play but endlessly difficult to master. And best played with friends. You’ll be continuously tested by this game and it takes its forebears’ core mechanics and adds them neatly into a new-but-familiar mix of action and strategy.

I had fun playing Minecraft Legends, but there are some aspects of the game that could be improved. The overworld is really large and really gorgeous in a Minecraft voxel kind of way, but it’s largely empty of anything more interesting than resources. I wish there was more to discover on long rides into the wilderness, but once I had reached all of the main locations I pretty much relied exclusively on fast travel. The assaults on the Piglin bases are fun, but as you make your way further into the campaign some of the sieges turn into grind fests. It would help if the siege weapons worked automatically, but you have to man them and manually aim their attacks – and then they have a cooldown period. Trying to monitor Piglins attacks while you’re aligning distant shots on structures, and then the need to check to see when the weapons are ready again is a constant distraction. Your enjoyment of Legends will depend a bit on how you enjoy playing Minecraft, as well as where on the RTS spectrum from noob to leet you fall. As for me, I’ve played a lot of Minecraft in many different ways and RTS games since the original StarCraft, and I found myself enjoying Legends.

Minecraft Legends is a wonderful addition to the expanding Minecraft universe, perfectly encapsulating its character while exploring a new, unique action-strategy genre. Its two halves aren't always perfectly balanced, though, and there are certainly ways the game can improve.

The effort made to offer a wide range of units across the player and piglin faction is appreciated, but these old bones yearn for a more traditional Minecraft RTS instead. Minecraft Legends is certainly worth a try if you're subscribed to Game Pass already, but like Minecraft Dungeons, this one truly is for the franchise fans out there. There are stronger alternatives for the older gamers who simply enjoyed Minecraft for its early survival RPG vibes.

Minecraft Legends may look and feel like an authentic spinoff, but with fiddly controls, contrived and repetitive gameplay design, in addition lackluster AI, it's only worth delving into for younger audiences and staunch Minecraft fans.

Minecraft Legends has good ideas, but it's ultimately held back by the decision to root its strategy action around a central hero. With a limited field of view, few command inputs, and uninteresting AI, Legends fails to generate compelling combat cycles or opportunities for creative thinking.

It's a nice little game, and doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. It's sad. You hate because you are bad at it, right? Because the game is favorable.

Optional, but fairly well-made spin-off. Maybe the game will get boring quickly, but I'm glad that the universe is growing.

This is a bad game and does not represent the identity of Minecraft. The fighting is constant and boring, and the price is unjustified. Avoid it.

If Its Gonna Have Uninteresting Cutscenes. A Lazy Menu. Garbage World Generation. A Tutorial That You Can Just Walk To The End.. No Joke ! BTW. Gross Looking Skins. And When I Got Out Of The Tutorial There Was No Sound Other Than Awful Voice Acting.. So I had To Restart The Game. AND NON SIMPLE GAMEPLAY! . THEN I AM NOT GONNA PLAY ANY FURTHER AFTER THE FIRST FIGHT IN MISSION 1 !
