Like it, or not, Minecraft has real staying power. Kids around the world are going to relate to things to Minecraft forever, now.

I never played Minecraft before, with one exception last year. I was trying out the PS3 emulator on my PC and tested Minecraft (offline) on it. I can see why people like it. Its pretty cool game and wish I was more into it.

It’s almost more of a system than a game, like you can play many games within it.
I used to just jump into a survival world and start exploring. Now I’ve got a persistent world I’ve had for like eight years. Sometimes I’m still discovering new areas, but other times I’m rediscovering stuff that I (or my friend who plays in the same world) built long ago. Occasionally I’ll take on some huge impressive project. The rail system in my world is unreasonably built out.

I love the idea of it but literally struggle to play it with my child I can’t stand builder games rather be playing Lego’s at that point.
But I still do it because she loves it.

Good on you for your sacrifice. Might come across as sarcastic but I mean it, so many parents won’t engage in activities their kids enjoy because the parent just finds it too boring and next thing you know there’s nothing for them to connect over and they both feel the other is distant and uninterested in them as a person

Fortnite Lego is pretty solid

You should take a look at fantasy modpacks, less building and more exploring, you can basically transform the game into an rpg.
