Follow my Instagram: https://instagram.com/macandswiss_ --Script-- This is Skyblock. If you’ve been living under a rock or haven’t had the chance to play the game, the premise is pretty simple. You start with an island, break down the trees, replant, sell the stuff at the shop, and repeat. Upgrade your crafting table, repeat, upgrade, and several days later you might have something like this - albeit on a much larger scale. So with that being said, let’s jump right into the review. In terms of core game design, Skyblock is pretty solid, and that is thanks to the variety of mechanics uniquely made or borrowed from Skyblock servers in Minecraft. The name of the game, especially in this case, is non-linear progression. Even though ultimately your goal is to get to a tier 3 workbench and automate a setup that basically prints money, how you get there is up to you. From farming to woodcutting, slaying mobs or even trading with other players, everything you do is a step in the right direction. The second thing I want to bring up that Skyblock does right is the joy of creation. This one is a bit more obvious - as humans, we’re naturally proud and like to make things - there’s just something about starting from very little and building that up into something bigger that we absolutely love. Hell, that’s one of the reasons why Minecraft is still alive after nearly a decade into its release. With that out of the way, even though the foundations are absolutely great, there are a couple of things that I still have an issue with in regards to the current state of the game, and as a quick disclaimer, I KNOW that the game is currently in beta and content will likely be different once it’s fully released, but the game is picking up some HUGE popularity and I think that it’s important to address some issues that they might not have expected with such a big playerbase. First, I think that some of the in-game items need to be adjusted in terms of crafting costs. As it stands currently, I believe that the crafting costs of quite a few tier-3 items are simply too high. Each conveyor belt requires 30 raw iron, the industrial chest requires 90, and even the tier 3 workbench itself requires a whopping 500 iron just to be able to craft the industrial items. And while this may not seem like much to people who already have a full setup, obtaining over 500 iron prior to automating things ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beMuM1-2MJE
