Minecraft Classic Review

Some games are born great, while other games have greatness thrust upon them. That’s not quite the Shakespeare quote, but it applies to video games just as readily as it does to people. There are some games whose premise is readily accepted by many and doesn’t need to do any work to persuade them, while others need to struggle to be accepted due to the sheer oddness or individuality of their pitch. Of course, the games themselves might be excellent, but they’re not necessarily immediately destined to be loved.

It’s not immediately clear into which of these two camps Minecraft deserves to fall. On the one hand, it’s definitely an influential classic that’s enjoyed by millions of players around the world. On the other, its elevator pitch isn’t exactly enthralling in words: it’s a creative sandbox with no conventional gameplay that puts the emphasis on players’ creativity. There are many who would be put off just by that description alone, so Minecraft is a more risky venture than it might initially seem.

For those who do love Minecraft’s elevator pitch, there is now Minecraft Classic. In their benevolence, Microsoft and Minecraft’s developer Mojang have elected to put the entirety of Minecraft Classic online for free. This is Minecraft as it was back in the primitive Stone Age year of 2009, when it was still just a glint in Notch’s eye and before it secured the love and trust of people around the world. Minecraft Classic is a true historical artefact and it should be respected.

Stuffed Fables Review

This unusual game is played in the storybook – a book that acts as your rules reference, story guide, and game board! It is for ages seven & above, and for two to four players. It takes at least 60 minutes or more to play.

Little Dragons Café Review

Little Dragons Café is made by the same creator of Harvest Moon – Yasuhiro Wada, for PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch™. This is an adorable simulation single-player role-playing game that will be loved by many young children! In this game, you learn about harvesting crops, cooking food, raising your very own dragon and keeping your café alive!

In this game, you are pretty much doing the same routine over and over again, but Ms C loves it and hasn’t grown tired of it yet. Every day there is something new and a simple task for her to fulfil. She loves a straightforward game that does not offer too many challenging tasks.

Red’s Kingdom on Nintendo Switch

Red’s Kingdom is a single-player adventure puzzle action game for all ages. This puzzle game was originally released on iOS devices only (not Android devices), but is now out on Nintendo Switch™ via Nintendo eShop, with an RRP of £8.99.

This is a great news for Nintendo Switch fans, as you can play it on the go. This game is cleverly designed, packed full of puzzles to solve and it is the type of game Mr K loves. The levels are challenging but nicely balanced in that they’re not too easy and not too tough. Some of them require a bit more thought though and planning for up to five moves ahead.
