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.
