Minecraft’s blocky creative world

I’m not a game freak but I have seen the gamers to go gaga over Minecraft. The game has a blocky 3D world where the players discover, extract, build and craft different materials. Yes, you need to fight with a mob or other players. Minecraft’s USP is that it allows the players to be creative. The players can create new game mechanism, environment and assets. Minecraft is also one of the most searched video game on YouTube and YouTube has a big contribution to its success story. There are many popular YouTubers who have dedicated channels for showcasing their Minecraft gameplays. Why do people watch the recording of someone’s played games? The reason lies in the sandbox character of Minecraft. In Minecraft, you learn while you play and obviously you can learn by watching an efficient gamer’s recorded game. As the users can generate unique environments, rules and crafts; often such a recorded game provides extreme creative inputs. Obviously you can’t ignore the entertainment value with the voiceover of popular YouTubers. Minecraft is the game of the games.
