Author Topic: Creativerse - Minecraft but not pixelated?  (Read 3665 times)


An adventure as big as your imagination.

This is the recently-released-to-Steam Creativerse. It appears to be Minecraft, more or less, with a few futuristic elements. And probably not based on Java.

Frankly, it looks great. Not that Minecraft wasn't a good game, but this looks like it would make for a good remaster, so to speak.

Find it at http://store.steampowered.com/app/280790/Creativerse and play for free!

And also get the Pro DLC for 19.99 euros! And 19.99 dollars as well.

It's bad.


Edit:
To elaborate. It's pretty much exactly Minecraft except they added stuff you have to pay for.
They 'added a tier or two' after the diamond tier. Which you get almost immediately after. You can have more fun in your first 2 hours of No Man's Sky than you can playing this.

Oh, and I'm not sure if  it's still in the game, but you can achieve godmode by eating 1 of each type of food.

the background of that poster in op looks like minecraft with one of the super secret settings on that makes things look like bokeh

oh look another attempt to leech off of minecraft's success; and it has awful reviews!


is this a minecraft mod

Creativerse: $0 and includes free server hosting.
Creativerse Pro: $20 and includes free server hosting for MULTIPLE servers
Minecraft: $20 and doesn't include ANY server hosting unless you want to pay a subscription fee.

All the totally optional, mostly cosmetic items you can but don't have to buy support those FREE SERVERS I JUST MENTIONED.
Plus, they're really generous with coupon codes. Whoops the servers were down for five minutes, everyone gets a code for free money to spend however they want in the store. We're leaving EA! Have free rainbow swords and mechanisms!

It's not P2W, you don't need increased stamina or a glider to win the game. They just let you explore faster (and a lot of stuff you need is biome-specific so you do a lot of that).
You're just whining.

Anyways, it'd be fun but something about almost everything feels unresponsive and unclear. Did I just tame that thing? Is that thing dead? Am I about to get hit by that pigsy or have I gotten far enough away? Is that burning thing still capable of killing me dead? etcetera.

It just needs some polish.

I did not in any way state "to win" in my post. In fact, I didn't know there were functional items that you had to pay for at all. There weren't when I played.
And yes, from a price perspective, it's better. But that's just the thing, you get what you pay for.
Pay for Minecraft and... get pretty well nothing.
Don't pay for Creativerse... and get even less than that.
Don't pay for Minecraft mods and get a significantly improved almost nothing.
Something something Creativerese mods... Oh wait.

i mean it looks good for a free game, but as someone who already owns minecraft this just looks like a reskin that brings nothing new to the table (if not less)


I love how many minecraft clones try to make it look 'better' by slapping stupid high res textures on to big ass cubes

Minecraft: $20 and doesn't include ANY server hosting unless you want to pay a subscription fee.
the use of "any" here is wrong. if you want to have a dedicated server that is maintained and kept online by someone else externally, you're going to have to pay someone, but you can host a PC minecraft server on your own hardware without even owning minecraft. minecraft also has built-in LAN hosting

and i have no idea what the server structure here is, but i'm assuming servers are hosted on player machines and not on a central server, and if that's the case, they aren't paying to maintain them (edit: after looking at it more it looks like it's a more roblox-like setup? in which case, disregard this)

it's just minecraft with prettier textures and a few features that I'm sure a minecraft mod can do as well.

if you dont want Minecraft with pixels then download a hd texture pack, there are lots of them out there

I'd just stick to minecraft
