Don’t really have much to say, mostly cause I don’t really have to. I’ve played it, you played it, it’s a childhood classic, isa good gaem.

With that being said… this is probably, unsurprisingly, the game I’ve spent the most time with out of any other game I've ever played, mostly because I’ve been playing it since the 5th grade. The replay value that this funny block game holds is insane. (Forgive me for going rapid-fire.) The art style is genius, C418’s music is god-tier, random generation is great, the exploration is fun with all the biomes, caves, and structures, the combat is simple and satisfying, the building/crafting mechanic is genius and limitlessly creative, mods and npcs add more interactivity, the items and loot you can get each add a little extra fun to the sandbox, Redstone is a complex and in-depth system that's satisfying to master, and command blocks basically allow you to completely change how the game works. There’s tons of ways to play the game, and the regular support and massive content updates the game has received for the last decade keeps adding to an already limitless game, and that’s just vanilla. There are so many community mods and shaders and maps and packs and multiplayer servers (most of which my potato mac can’t run) that you can sink hours into and time just flies. There's a ton of nostalgic and unique fan content and a huge bustling community. It’s the kind of game that you’ll get in the mood for and play for a month straight, then drop it for another two months. I’m in that second phase at the moment. Caves and Cliffs looks cool, it’s one of the best games of the last decade, Yadda yadda yadda, it’s good ok? You probably already know that.

Now can we stop the circlejerk before the game becomes annoying again? Christ.

The best puzzle-platformed of all time and Valve's best game. Takes every idea that Portal introduced and runs with it while implementing fun new mechanics and having some incredible voice acting. You know a game's good when you've got J.K. mother-FUCKING Simmons on board.

Such a poignant, moving, and richly thematic game.
