Minecraft
Minecraft is one of the most accessible video games available, as it has sold more than 3 00 million copies across PC, game consoles (Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch), and smart devices . 71 It is very easy to learn and can be played anywhere. Minecraft can be played either in the online world or offline as a single -player. Minecraft and Roblox are popular games with large audiences, as they are sandbox games where you have an endless possibility of worlds you can create, effectively meaning you play games within the actual game. Minecraft is an older generation game, and is, therefore , more popular with teenagers and older audiences compared to Roblox and Fortnite that are largely p layed by young er children. Game Modes • Survival: the player can level up, search for resources, and craft different weapons, tools, and structures. Players must fight hunger and monsters during the night. • Hardcore : same as Survival Mode but the player only gets one life. If they die, the game is over, and they must start fresh. • Creative: the user cannot die and has access to all the blocks and items available. With this game mode, users can create whatever they want with out restrictions. The player can also fly to get from place to place faster. Online Play and Chat The multiplayer option allows players to play alongside friends. Players can build, mine, create, and even fight each other on some servers. All game modes and difficulties that exist in single player also exist in multiplayer . Minecraft has child- friendly servers available, which you must request to join. This ensures random players will not come into the servers as they will not have access. Single -player mode is the safest option for our children as no one can join or chat with a single -player user.
