I fully understand and acknowledge that calling a sandbox game “unfocused” or “boring” is foolish. But I really don’t know what else to say, the vanilla gameplay loop is great for a short amount of time, but rather easy to get bored of (especially with the lack of direction!) - yet mods simultaneously feel extremely overwhelming.
Its a game I’d pick up every few years or so to play on a friends’ server (vanilla or mods), play heavily for a few weeks, get my fill and quit. Rinse and repeat.
Perhaps I’ll be able to work out and articulate why Minecraft doesn’t click, because I’ve certainly enjoyed similar sandbox-y games, however I’ll just chalk it down to it being a me problem. (spectacular soundtrack though!)
