Minecraft Legends - Deluxe Edition - PS4

Product Information

Minecraft Legends is an interesting blend of adventure and RTS that could have been great, but hamstrings itself by limiting the player's freedom and control far beyond what you'd expect from a Minecraft game. It's simple but quite compulsive, and there are some interesting decisions that I really liked. The maps are pretty roomy, for example, with lots of wilderness spaces in between objectives. Not only is this the kind of terrain that Minecraft turns out so beautifully, it also means that this is an RTS with a nice element of horizon-lust. I wandered about, admired the new gentle Cel-shading, wondering what I might find. You don't actually do any of this yourself. Unlike Minecraft Cool Original Flavour, Legends is a hands-off experience. All mining and crafting duties are delegated to the allays, tiny sprites who can be assigned to build structures, or gather all the resources of a given type in a small area. Both building and gathering types are restricted in number, so you're limited in how much you can do at once. Sometimes, anticipation can be really sweet. Like going to bed before vacation and dreaming of future adventures. But the anticipation needs an end date, otherwise it’s just... “waiting.” If you’re excited to play Minecraft Legends, our upcoming action-strategy game, you’re about to find out when you can stop anticipating and start playing!

This item includes PS VR content. PlayStation VR and PlayStation Camera are required to experience these features. We know that Minecraft Legends will support online co-op for its entire campaign experience, letting players jump in with up to three of their friends. Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft both offer fantastic online co-op experiences, and we expect Minecraft Legends to follow suit. It has also been hinted that Minecraft Legends will have a Challenge Mode, possibly mirroring other strategy games with tailored level-like challenges, but no confirmed details are available. Gamescom 2022 saw fresh trailers, announcements, and reveals for dozens upon dozens of upcoming games, many arriving throughout 2023. Xbox and its assorted family of developers also made an appearance during the days-long event to share updates on several imminent Xbox Game Studios titles, including the one and only Minecraft Legends. Windows Central's Jez Corden was present during the event, and got an opportunity to go hands-on with the next flagship game from Mojang Studios.

It's such a shame that they haven't taken full advantage of the game's connection to Big Daddy Minecraft. It could have been an entirely unique RTS with more of a focus on building and exploration than anything that's come before it. The focus seems instead to have gone elsewhere. In fairness, the amount of polish that has gone into some parts of this game is really impressive. The animations are full of life, the world is vibrant and welcoming, the cinematics look great, the voice acting is... well, not my cup of tea, but it's still done very well. It's a real sadness that the game gets in its own way to the point where I haven't been able to end a play session thinking, "well, that was fun".

Fortifications like ramps, gates, and other useful buildings can only rotate on a four-point axis, reducing their utility in uneven environments, and severely limiting opportunities for creative construction. Still, it's in defense where Minecraft Legends is most comfortable – allowing you the opportunity to patrol smaller, less cluttered combat zones, and experiment with a selection of craftable fortifications and structures. With the promise of self-contained 'Lost Legends' scenarios arriving through the in-game marketplace every month, I can only hope that these expand this area of the experience.

As well as the campaign and PvP mode, there's a rotating limited time mode called Lost Legends, with smaller scenarios to play through. Mojang are planning to drop one new Lost Legend every month. There's also a marketplace where you can buy skins and the like with microtransactions, which I of course stayed as far away from as possible.Mojang Studios maintains a steadfast "multiplatform" philosophy, and prides itself on being accessible and approachable to a diverse array of players across all demographics, geographies, and platforms. With Minecraft Dungeons, Mojang Studios committed to this philosophy, despite technically being a part of Xbox Game Studios.
