Minecraft Legends is gaming at its best - fun, welcoming, evolving, easy to play but endlessly difficult to master. And best played with friends. You’ll be continuously tested by this game and it takes its forebears’ core mechanics and adds them neatly into a new-but-familiar mix of action and strategy.
I had fun playing Minecraft Legends, but there are some aspects of the game that could be improved. The overworld is really large and really gorgeous in a Minecraft voxel kind of way, but it’s largely empty of anything more interesting than resources. I wish there was more to discover on long rides into the wilderness, but once I had reached all of the main locations I pretty much relied exclusively on fast travel. The assaults on the Piglin bases are fun, but as you make your way further into the campaign some of the sieges turn into grind fests. It would help if the siege weapons worked automatically, but you have to man them and manually aim their attacks – and then they have a cooldown period. Trying to monitor Piglins attacks while you’re aligning distant shots on structures, and then the need to check to see when the weapons are ready again is a constant distraction. Your enjoyment of Legends will depend a bit on how you enjoy playing Minecraft, as well as where on the RTS spectrum from noob to leet you fall. As for me, I’ve played a lot of Minecraft in many different ways and RTS games since the original StarCraft, and I found myself enjoying Legends.

Great graphics on Xbox series X and very fun to play solo and coop. Its hard to believe all the low reviews.

It was more creative than other games and each round was longer, so it was good to concentrate. It's good for $40. I think I made a good purchase.

Minecraft Legends is a wonderful addition to the expanding Minecraft universe, perfectly encapsulating its character while exploring a new, unique action-strategy genre. Its two halves aren't always perfectly balanced, though, and there are certainly ways the game can improve.
A refreshing take for Minecraft.
The effort made to offer a wide range of units across the player and piglin faction is appreciated, but these old bones yearn for a more traditional Minecraft RTS instead. Minecraft Legends is certainly worth a try if you're subscribed to Game Pass already, but like Minecraft Dungeons, this one truly is for the franchise fans out there. There are stronger alternatives for the older gamers who simply enjoyed Minecraft for its early survival RPG vibes.
Minecraft Legends may look and feel like an authentic spinoff, but with fiddly controls, contrived and repetitive gameplay design, in addition lackluster AI, it's only worth delving into for younger audiences and staunch Minecraft fans.
Minecraft Legends has good ideas, but it's ultimately held back by the decision to root its strategy action around a central hero. With a limited field of view, few command inputs, and uninteresting AI, Legends fails to generate compelling combat cycles or opportunities for creative thinking.
Awsome game! Was very excited with the announcement and it did not disappoint. The colors really pop and the combat idea was spot on. Being able to build a base of operations is really fun. Awsome job.

Optional, but fairly well-made spin-off. Maybe the game will get boring quickly, but I'm glad that the universe is growing.

Fun but short. Not worth 40$ but if it was on sale you can try it on steam, and if you don't like it you can get a refund

Jeu très décevant en ce qui concerne le contenu. Mode histoire très répétitif, trop enfantin, très simple. Sans aucun intérêt finalement, peut être fun a plusieurs mais pas convaincu. J'ai ma préférence pour Minecraft Dungeons en ce qui concerne un spin-off de Minecraft

Die Idee des Spiels ist cool, aber die Umsetzung ist nicht gelungen. Die Animationen im Trailer sahen vielversprechend aus, aber in der Realität sind die Farben zu grau und die Grafik ist nicht schön. Die Lust am Spiel vergeht relativ schnell nach einigen Minuten. Ich hatte das Spiel im Gamepass auf dem PC ausprobiert und es ist nicht empfehlenswert.
