Possibly the single most overrated game of all time.
- It starts off interesting but the progression drops off a cliff once you reach diamond-tier tools and armour. You're supposed to "make your own fun", but if that's the case then why give me the illusion of progression in the first place?
- The game has almost no room for skill expression, and the only real challenge it offers is in the form of combat, which is more often than not pure bullshit rather than an actual fair challenge.
- The crafting system is completely thoughtless. There are so many items which exist for no reason other than to be in a crafting recipe.
- So many mobs have only one specific interaction that the player will most likely perform once and never again. No room for experimentation, in a fucking sandbox game.
- The game is flat out not fun without mods, many of which lean into the same tired design tropes and make the same mistakes the vanilla game does.
- Needs a complete redesign from the ground up to address some ridiculous design choices.
