Minecraft Legends is the latest to carry the legendary Minecraft moniker, one of the most successful video game brands of all time. It's an ambitious departure from the norm for Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive, attempting to meld two separate genres alongside a fresh approach to the story in the Minecraft universe. Despite this, it may fly under the radar for many gamers. I'm here to (hopefully) change a few minds.
Mojang Studios' first attempt at an action-strategy game isn't perfect on every front (it could use a little bit more, ahem, action), and there's certainly room for improvement. Even so, this doesn't stop it from being an incredibly fun, strangely relaxing game that's made even better when you enjoy it with friends. More than that, Minecraft Legends does a brilliant job capturing the spirit of Minecraft that has helped that game dominate the internet for over a decade. It's absolutely, unequivocally worth your time, money, and support as one of the best Xbox games.
