This is a strange one - I'm not totally convinced by Minecraft Legends yet. Perhaps it's the odd cel-shaded art style, or my own inexperience with strategy games. It's very obviously Minecraft, but at the same time feels quite a bit alien - like a sort of genre uncanny valley.
It’s not as if the series has struggled to contort itself to genres outside of survival before. Minecraft Dungeons did reasonably well for itself, even if it didn’t work for me, and I had a great time with Telltale’s narrative-driven Minecraft Story Mode. Perhaps it’s because I’m watching someone playing rather than navigating it myself, but it’s hard to get a feel for how it’ll work as a strategy game.
