Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Completely new experience with each generated world keeps the game fresh
Each new world a player starts is randomly generated, making for a different experience every time a new world is started. There are 38 biomes - snowy, cold, medium/lush, dry/warm, and neutral biomes, each with numerous sub-biomes (such as mountainous, rivers, forested, swamp, beach and more). These biomes each have their own set of blocks and configurations, and each frozen river biome will be different from the next frozen fiver biome you see.
Pro Great freedom of expression thanks to the sandbox gameplay
In Minecraft you can really do whatever you want. If exploring different landscapes is your thing, creative mode lets you do that. Building castles or villages, or even sculptures, computers (complete with redstone logic), or unique builds can be done such as roller coasters or replicas of objects like the Enterprise from Star Trek.
For more combat focused gameplay, enter survivor mode and you can fight monsters, gather resources, craft weapons, build traps and farms and much more.
Pro Local multiplayer option for when there is no internet connection
Minecraft can be played with other people locally over Wi-Fi. This is great for those that have friends or family they would like to play with locally, or when there is no way to connect the device to the internet.
Pro Plenty of fun customizable skins for those interested in customizing their look
Minecraft for Android offers player skins, so users can customize their avatar's look. While some of the skins are free, there are others that cost money through in-app-purchases offered as skin packs. All skin packs are $0.99 a piece.
Pro Active development means plenty of new features and fixed bugs
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 Plenty of expansive mods available if the core game gets too boring
Minecraft can be modded in order to bring extended functionality to the game. Using mods created by the community, users are able to theme the game to their liking, such as theming the game to look like Grand Theft Auto or adding extra crafting objects.
Pro Addictive gameplay makes the title difficult to put down
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.

This is cool!!
Pro Good controller and button mapping support allows the game to be easily played with many different controllers
For those who would like to play with a controller, support was added in July 2015. Anyone with a HID supported controller can easily connect through Bluetooth. They can then go into the games settings to map which buttons they want to use. This customizability means that you can now adjust the controller to your liking when using an HID controller.
Pro Do not log
Pro Map awareness
The game has no bushes but the restricted map view (due to fog of war) makes the use of wards vital. This is a concept that lacks from other games of this genre.
Pro Nice game
Sometimes lags but it's fun if there's no internet issue.
Pro Balanced gameplay
Even the most "fed" player will struggle to win alone at teamfights. That makes the game great for teams and allow players to show their real skills at MOBA games.
Pro Daily/special missions
There's always daily missions to complete that will give nice rewards. Special event missions give even better rewards. Such missions are easy to do, so you'll most likely finish them after you feel like you're done playing anyway.
Pro Game feels great to play
Game has a great visual appeal even in case of characters. Their skills are also unique and so is the map
Pro More fair and balanced than mobile legends
Pro Heroes
The developers are adding more and more heroes over time.
Pro Wide variety of items
There are many purchasable in-game items in Heroes Evolved, with their own passives and actives. The wide variety of these items makes it interesting to explore the game.
Pro Easy to acquire heroes
It's easy to buy the heroes because of gold from battle and gold from every day missions.
Pro This game is good
Cons
Con Laggy multiplayer gameplay
Depending on the speed of your device and graphics quality, this game tends to lag and load slowly when using the multiplayer function.
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.
Con A large group of people make the game less enjoyable with their communication
Con Bad community
Don't expect people to talk nice, as they will often end up insulting you for just calling a role and picking it. You can expect trolling, racism, and hate speech as well.
Con Low playerbase
Starting few divisions are all bots and matches feel like 1v1 or 2v2 rather than 5v5. It's fine after 3 ranks though. But still takes time to reach.
Con Support is BAD
Con It requires a lot of space
Heroes Evolved has a ton of updates, leading to more and more space required on your phone.
Con Not much to do for new players
Keeps recommending new player to play rank while the only hero one would have is Minerva and the log in bonus for new players would only award you one hero at most, such as a Rockman, which is worse compared to VG, ML and AoV that would award new players around five heroes for logging in or playing the game.
Con Stale meta
Certain items - e.g. Searing Longsword. Demonic Mask - have been so overwhelmingly strong that they have been staples for years. They have moulded the meta and pushed older heroes out of competitive playability completely. Instead of buffing/nerfing items and heroes to keep the game fresh, the developers have just added extra features to the game in the form of different modes, or tried to hide the problem by releasing increasingly powerful heroes.
Con A lot of stuns in this game
It's ridiculous. Over half the heroes can stun, and if your team doesn't pick heroes with stuns you are seriously screwed.
