EPIC Minecraft Xbox Series X Gameplay Review

This is Minecraft we’re here on Xbox series X be sure to like the video subscribing is great as well so there’s a particular reason as to why we’re revisiting and re-reviewing the game and that’s because the game is now well I guess you could say to some degree next

Gen aware and or we’re inheriting a upgrade at this point so what are we getting here it’s now a 4K resolution 60fps it’s nice and sharp and clean and it’s just an upgraded way to enjoy what Minecraft has to offer so I’ve downloaded an offline version of my

Realm as that is a very demanding fully detailed well-versed well-created world that should give us just a taste of what this upgrade is aiming to offer so Minecraft has a bunch of different ways that you can play it and enjoy what it has to offer play in first person play

In the third and go to the video settings if you want to adjust a whole bunch of other things brightness all of these elements such as like in-game outlines all that kind of stuff there’s the fov how split screen is handled fancy Graphics Ray tracing which is never

Going to happen render distance 28 chunks Max frame rate anti-aliasing all things that you can adjust tune and change for your liking so play it locally with up to four players play online up to 8 or go even further as there are multiplayer servers which will will be showcasing and talking about a

Little bit later on because I thought hey this is the perfect time to come in do a fresh review of Minecraft on series X now that it has this full proper upgrade and you know what you might be thinking oh what is the point 4k on

Minecraft who cares well some of us do care because it does look considerably sharper and it’s just a lot better of a picture quality it’s been stuck at like 1080p for oh I since the Xbox one launched so it is nice that finally here probably about a decade later we’re

Finally getting something that is more taking advantage of the hardware of today now keep in mind it’s still not optimized but it is just a better visual Fidelity and it is definitely something that is much appreciated so let’s dive in and talk about Minecraft from a perspective again of a general review

Like we do anything else so play it alone play it with others do cooperative play PVP PVE do a bunch of different game types enjoy a bunch of different modes interact with others interact with like random villagers and stuff fight creatures play peaceful where you’re just building do an adventure play it

Hardcore where death can be the worst thing in the world really just kind of play Minecraft however you want and it grows and expands in so many interesting ways there’s multiplayer servers so that you can connect with others and interesting different variations and rotating game types play on Realms where you’re able

To grab a realm and host it for yourself or your friends in the seemingly online world that’s always evolving and changing then go further with Minecraft add-ons which you can kind of add to your games now there’s like premium add-ons you can by and they persist

Across your worlds which is kind of cool there’s also these map packs as to say or well the Minecraft Marketplace store where you’re able to purchase additional worlds and activities that take the game of Minecraft even further which is kind of awesome and welcomed and we’ll be

Showing that off a little bit later as well so Minecraft is an experience that really is kind of like I guess you would say Legos but what is the point of that t Spire up at the top of there that’s so weird so basically it’s like Lego but

You’re able to build in a video game craft things create stuff it’s a it’s a never ending game too it’s one that will literally continue to be developed and adjusted I’m assuming well beyond my time and you literally you just sit here and you craft and you make stuff and you

Build things and you live and you battle and you can like tame horses and tame dogs and there’s all these creative elements it’s a game that you really just endlessly engaged with and endlessly build within and a shout out to our landscaper grumbly I haven’t seen

That dude in forever but he always did a great job on his Landscaping efforts we’ll probably show off the other part of it too CU that was really nice that he did on the other side of town but yeah it’s just kind of this expansive game where it’s like survival drop in

Build whatever you want gather items to be able to do stuff mine explore find new hidden areas or creative where you just going around building things and you can play all of it alone or with other people which is wonderful however you want to play Minecraft you can and that in

Itself is really neat because it’s allowed for unlimited levels of creativity people make all kinds of things they make art they make giant sculpture 3D things which is kind of like art but PvP Arenas there’s been all these cool game modes that have come out of it Recreations Minecraft is

Absolutely Timeless and an experience that just as I said keeps on growing there’s constant updates and changes this is a Nostalgia trip for me actually going through this area it’s it’s kind of wild revisiting all this stuff and you you really can just attempt to survive and and play it however you’d

Like to do you want to create yourself a challenge where you see how long you can last do that do you want to just have fun building weird structures and stuff with friends go ahead do you want to do glass work do you want to gather flowers

Do you want to tame creatures have a barn do you want to do all kinds of different things Minecraft is kind of just Limitless and it just keeps expanding in terms of its scope and design it is really quite amazing what they’ve been able to achieve with this

Game and it’s interesting just to see how far behind I get on it constantly because there’s always some new weird crazy thing that they’ve added and I just go oh wow yeah I didn’t even know about that past that it’s it’s just it really is genuinely neat to see how much of

This thing evolves there’s so many new Critters and you know they they’ve done all of these great expansions where we’ve gotten the above ground updated we’ve gotten you know this like whole underwater area where there’s like coral and creatures and you know all of these crazy things

That you can engage with and EXP L and sea and it’s kind of just just crazy like all these fish types and you know coral reefs and hidden artifacts and lost caves and you can do boss battles and interact with all of these different things like there’s a big dragon thing

You can fight there’s all these crazy like a Wither boss a Wither monster there’s there’s really just a lot to kind of like and enjoy and every part of the world can be broken down down and collected and destroyed and interacted with and that in itself is really really

Cool do we have this is the club is down here so that’s why the music’s playing we have like an actual Club in this world our realm was amazing I just want to put that out there this realm had everything the people who worked on this Grace chubbers the others again just

Huge shout outs always to the efforts involved in making this such an amazing interesting World honestly I I wish we were still rolling all playing together on it cuz it is genuinely wondrous uh yeah so like Minecraft is is so good it’s perfect for literally all ages anyone can play this someone that’s

Older and creative someone that’s young and just wants to play a video game and explore and do stuff it’s completely free in what it offers and what you can do and there’s safety mechanics in regards to making sure things don’t get damaged some of the fun of it is though

The randomness of things getting destroyed you can cook you can create create you can destroy you can build you can explore you can survive it’s really kind of a little bit of anything for everyone and Minecraft is always so special because of that it’s just like really amazing what they’ve been able to

Accomplish in a game that you can do so much but it’s also so simple and I really feel like it’s just kind of getting started too because I’m sure like just the amount of stuff I’ve seen added and then you look longterm the things that will be probably added it’s

Just absolutely wondrous you can just spend days doing this achieving things finding stuff exploring discovering and then like you know coming from the the basics of this on Console to seeing it today where we have all these features and there’s the crossplay with the the Bedrock system that’s present now it’s

Just amazing how much they’ve done with this game over the years how much it’s evolved and just seeing how much further it’s likely to get evolved to down the road it’s it’s kind of crazy I I don’t know I think I’ve covered quite a bit but it’s it’s just kind of awesome it

Really is Minecraft is so special and if you’ve been holding off for whatever reason it’s never a bad time to jump in and hopefully this area is kind of showing off just the visual upgrades like I think just technically it’s pretty demanding because there’s so much

In here and so much going on and it’s also just like a cool place to show off because I’ve built uh so much with so many other people uh let’s jump into the other areas of the game though the Minecraft servers so this is a place

Where you can go in and play just a bunch of always evolving changing game modes across a few different server options the servers themselves change over time you’re able to interact with other players see all the crazy things they’re doing and just enjoy a bunch of different game modes you know we always

Have the classic like Hunger Games which is the survival modes Sky block battles prison stuff zombie apocalypse which is still going on which kind of surprised surprises me SkyWars there’s so many things to do One in the Chamber Capture the Flag just a cool selection of different ways to easily

Interact with players and just kind of seamlessly be able to compete and see other people doing their own things it’s really really cool there’s lots to explore there’s many different challenges and these are all things that people create for others to play and it just continues to evolve in such unique

And exciting ways and these servers are just really really great ways for you to connect with random other people to play game modes if you don’t have anyone for different matches you can very easily find a Lobby of something and you know it doesn’t all have to be

Competitive some of it is easygoing some of it is building stuff some of it is just doing crazy different game modes but the servers have been a really nice easy way for people to engage with others in multiplayer without having to sit there and deal with all the trials of basically trying to

Find other people to play with which can be such a a struggle uh needless to say because I’ve done that too over the years trying to find lobbies and get players together for it it can be tedious and annoying but here you don’t have to deal with that you just pick a

Server pick a Lobby and have some fun as you play a bunch of different game modes with other people this is the Minecraft Marketplace store so they’ve just added the marketplace pass if you want a subscription thing to get access to more offerings but essentially you can buy mine coins in

Order to buy a plethora of different things such as Skin Packs to customize your character worlds to go on crazy new adventures texture packs there is also these really cool mashup packs that kind of convert the world in new and exciting ways and there’s add-ons like I

Mentioned things where you change up the world and you kind of just have them available to you so you have new adjustments and ways to kind of modify your game and a more kind of seamless thing that carries across your different experiences Bob always a great job always a great Creator same with

Everbloom ever blo makes really really great stuff but it’s just like this constantly evolving offering of crazy new worlds and excitement do you like Star Wars there’s like a Jedi world and I do streams and stuff like this there’s lots of videos on these on the channel Godzilla The Dungeons and Dragons which

Is amazing it’s by ever blo it’s like a several hour at least long role playing game that actually emulates Dungeons and Dragons is crazy there’s the turtles there’s a Disney stuff tons and tons of different ways to play and it’s just made by these incredible creators that are releasing constant new experiences

That you can enjoy that enhance your experience within the game and that’s really really quite exciting that this has continued to grow I remember covering this when it first came out and there was like 30 packs and I was checking out everything and now you get

Dozens upon dozens every like week or so and it’s just kind of the ultimate way to expand your game past the core game through a system that supports creators and just allows them to build cooler and cooler things that will allow you to just endlessly expand your Minecraft

Experience and I think that is awesome so cool so this is an example of a Minecraft Marketplace map this is papercraft Adventures which I always love to highlight whenever we go in and well basically play and do a review of Minecraft as it’s just such a cool bof creation where we essentially

Have a bunch of little mini worlds where you’re doing challenges and it just showcases the change up in the mobs as they’ve become these craft type things same with the enemies which is pretty cool so yeah this is just part of the experience and showcasing the improved resolution the quality and the Fidelity

Of it is just kind of giving you an idea of just how these maps and these designs look a lot sharper especially coming from 1080p which what is what we’ve been stuck with for such a long time but yeah this is just a cool little creative world that kind of I think showcases

Pretty effectively just what you can kind of get from these unique creators out there and the different places you can visit and the worlds you can explore and there’s always new ways to enjoy just what this has to offer and I think that’s really really quite cool and this one in

Particular is just such a neat Showcase of something creative aesthetically pleasing and very different and yeah it just kind of works so well in giving you something new fresh and exciting to play and that’s why I always like to hi highlight this one is I think it just

Offers something so intriguing a larger than life setup but it’s also something you know that any audience type can jump in and have a good time playing and just kind of be blown away by the design and the aesthetic of changing these creatures up I I think that is so so

Cool and that’s what I’m going to kind of be doing here is just highlighting a few different Marketplace worlds that you can kind of dive into and I think again showcases that higher level Fidelity with the extra like zoom and load out it looks fantastic this is another world that I always love

Showcasing and it’s the Star Wars world so in this pack it’s complete conversion of your experience where you’re able to literally go and visit these Fantastical places from a galaxy far far away and it just kind of highlights how much these packs can change the experience and how

They can be connected to IP such as something like Star Wars which is so cool where you get like literally customized creatures that you can interact with the bantha there and it’s just like a full fun Star Wars experience the music would match too if I hadn’t turned that off but you know

Music copyright and all that sort of stuff right always got to dive in and Escape what that has to offer but yeah you get these crazy worlds that fully capture the spirit and magic of different cool things in the Star Wars pack is so awesome because it just

Creates this sense of atmosphere that you can only get from Star St Wars but within Minecraft and you’ve got all these different eras and cool starships and it just again really highlights the level of creativity that can be present within this game and you get that all the way from different types of

Character skins you can have to customizing emote stuff and they just keep adding all these crazy new features and it think like it really does come across as Minecraft being what I think is going to be a limitless thing that will always evolve way past my day and

It’s just kind of amazing to come here and take a look at this and I do suggest taking a look at my Minecraft video looking at this specifically if you want to see more because yeah there’s so many cool little parts of this and I have

Such a limited time to kind of showcase everything but you can go and visit all of these places and they’re connected and it’s kind of has its own little vibe to it as you travel across the Galaxy visiting these spots it’s just purely awesome and they just nailed this map so

Much I love the design of it and for the last part of our tour I thought it only made sense to dive into a mashup pack which is for Halo with the master chief what yeah this is kind of an example of a mashup pack where it changes the visuals the style the

Setting the textures and presents a giant World basically what Star Wars does but it’s Halo and I mean we’re on Xbox it only makes sense that we get to uh showcase a bit of a Halo World well talking about overall the package that we get here so Minecraft is a beautiful

Vibrant expansive game and now visually it’s finally more taking advantage of the hardware here I would love to see us eventually get the r tracing I don’t think that’s ever going to happen for the Xbox who knows I’m shocked that it’s still not technically optimized as I do

Think there’s even more they could get out of this since the series s shares the same resolution and Target quality that the series X does but hey you know what it looks cleaner it looks better it’s an update that I think I’ve been waiting at least several years for it’s

Not the super duper update it’s not that intensive visual upgrade that rate tracing would provide but you know what it’s not bad it’s something and I just in general hope that this kind of re-review of Minecraft kind of covered all of the bases like Minecraft is a big

Game there’s a lot that I could talk about and go over all day but this is more of a showcase where it’s hey the game has evolved it’s changed a little bit it’s something that I would do as more of a quality overtime re-review anyways but it’s the perfect

Excuse because they sat here and just really increased that Fidelity quality and I think you just noticed that all across the world from the sharpness and the far distance the sharpness close up that 4K resolution is just awesome to see and I’m so glad that we finally got

This again liking this Minecraft review is great subscribing is great as well and I’ll see for more block building action
