SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Great creativity tool
It allows you to draw up ideas for buildings and structures before letting you create them.
Pro Enthralling, unpredictable gameplay
Exploring and fighting expands on what is a randomly generated world, never knowing what's going to happen next or what the player will find. There are no set goals and no end to reach: it is all a sandbox experience that the player formulates as they go along, making it all the more thrilling.
Pro Long and complicated adventure
It is a very long game, usually taking over 150 hours to beat. That's thanks to its very long list of objectives, and each part can be done however and for however long the player wants. It can get quite cryptic, but it does have features such as achievements that help you find out what your next goal is. And as long as it is, there's a lot of post-game content, and simply exploring the infinite world a bit further is already enough to get more out of it.
Pro Runs at 1080p and 60fps
The whole game runs at 1080p and 60fps, making for a very smooth game to play and watch.
Pro Defined by originality
There are not many games that have become so iconic due to their original characteristics.
Pro Splitscreen local multiplayer
For those that enjoy playing with friends locally on one TV, Minecraft allows for splitscreen local multiplayer.
Pro Amazing extended community
The community surrounding this game is huge due to its popularity. There are lots of servers and projects revolving around it that allow for so many different choices in how one wants to play and who they want to play with. From crafting guides/videos, themed servers and Youtube play sessions, there is enough out there to help one find what they are looking for.
Pro Console versions have downloadable official mini-games
Minecraft has a variety of mini-games available for download on the console versions, which can tailor to different sizes of groups.

Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con Lack of meaningful story mode
There is no story mode in Minecraft: there is only a create mode or a survival mode. Neither, however, supply any kind of story or background as regard what is going on in the game.
Con Steep and time-consuming learning curve
Learning what items are needed to craft takes quite a bit of knowledge and time. There are guides and videos online that can help with this, but not much in-game that helps the player know exactly how and what to craft.
