This is the most relaxing game, looks like a kids game but it’s actually great to sit down and unwind after a stressful day.

I’ve never really dug into MC. I have no idea where to start.

You start by playing it and learning how the game works. Be careful it can draw you in pretty deep if your new to it.

7 days to die plays a lot like Minecraft, although it's much more complex and deep, and especially mature. If only the damn game was actually optimized.

I just can't get into this type of game. I need a goal or some form of carrot on a stick to keep me going. Minecraft throws you in and you have to just do what you want. I can see the draw, I just can't have fun for some reason. I do play on occasion just to make little things with my girlfriend. I'm glad Minecraft is the game selling this many copies and not some P2W lootbox game.

I call BS.  Didn't we just have an article a week or so ago from an industry vet who insisted that players demand cutting edge graphics, enormous production value, etc etc??  If what she says is true, these numbers must be lies.

I certainly can't fault you for that. Half the reason why I love Musuo games so much is the relaxation inherent to them. Building games like Minecraft certainly aren't my cup of tea, but I'd like to think that most of us play games to relax.

I remember my friends and i bought Minecraft when it was in alpha and it was pretty bare bones but it was still really fun. It's pretty amazing how far it has come and 74 million active players is absolutely insane.
