The Review

Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time because it gave players something no game had before: true creative freedom with virtually no limits. It spawned an entire generation of builders, modders, and creators. Schools use it to teach architecture and coding. The survival loop is addictive, the creative mode is boundless, and the community has built things that would make professional architects weep. Notch built a universe out of blocks.

Fun Fact

With over 300 million copies sold, Minecraft is the best-selling video game in history, surpassing Tetris.
