Minecraft - Pocket Edition is an open world survival game that offers in-app-purchases.
Gameplay consists of either a sandbox experience or a survival world. Sandbox allows users to freely build whatever they like with unlimited resources and survival adheres to a map where users mine materials that can then be used to build structures as well as weapons and armor that are necessary for survival of attacks from the creatures in the world.

Pros
Pro It's addicting and fun
There is always one more thing that the player can get done before turning off the game. Building a structure and wanting to complete it - oh but you ran out of materials. Well you will therefore need to go down into the caves again. Oh you died in a cave and need to go back before your items disappear - better get down there again. And so it continues. There is always one more thing to do before you are "done", which is the underlying appeal of the game, never wanting to stop playing.
Pro Actively being developed
There are updates to the game all the time, new features do get added at a good pace, which means that not only do bugs get fixed but that the game will constantly be growing as the platform grows with it, which allows more demanding features to be added with time.
Pro Great freedom of expression
In Minecraft you can explore different landscapes, fight monsters, gather resources, craft items, and build [houses, traps, monuments, roller coasters, and water slides]. All-in-all, this allows the player to freely express themselves in whatever fashion they like.
Cons
Con Not as deep as other versions
Minecraft - Pocket Edition does not have as much content as other versions due to the app needing a limited size for mobile devices and their small storage. This means there is missing content in the mobile version over the PC or console versions. It is getting comparative better, but still is lacking due to the platform.
