I wouldn’t say I hate Minecraft, but every time I play, I can’t help but shake this sense of foreboding and loneliness. It just feels so vast and empty.
I also dislike the lack of direction or objectives. Of course you can “beat” the game, but nothing really changes if you do. I can understand the appeal of sandbox style games, but I struggle to find satisfaction in this game particularly.
I do enjoy Minecraft with friends if I’m on a voice call, but single player (especially vanilla unmodded) is very much not my cup of tea.
Agreed! I don't like feeling alone in the world. I prefer Terraria because while you can't form any friendships/relationships with the NPCs, they still feel like fleshed out characters. You aren't alone. And even though it's a sandbox game, there's a path you can follow and defeating each boss actually affects the game.
Also Minecraft can really freak me out when I'm already feeling alone and lost and then... cave noises.
I have lots of nostalgia regarding Minecraft, but I would always play it with my brother. So many of our happiest childhood memories together are collaborating on our Minecraft world lol. When I play vanilla alone, it just feels... unfinished. Mods can help, but I just always end up exiting the world and not coming back. I don't think I've ever actually went to the End in survival. I guess I don't have the motivation to progress without any actual rewards.
