Cons
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.
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 Still involves killing other things
In order to progress through the game and craft items, players will need to kill other things such as skeletons, zombies and monsters which may not be seen as child-friendly or can result in frightening situations.
Con Commentary still feels off
The commentary is still odd at times as it is easy to tell all recorded reaction were recorded separate and with that does not sound realistic that the commentators are talking to one another as they would in real life. Neither commentator reacts to what the other one is saying, only to comment on what the player is doing, it just feels off and unrealistic.
Con Stamina
Players get exhausted quickly as you continue to play, a veiled attempt to get you paying that impacts the fun.
