I still don't understand it either but I just bought the ps4 version for our five year old. We've been playing the ps3 demo the last week in split screen. (Hint you can keep playing the demo as long as you want in splitscreen, just switch to player 3 after player 1 times out) It still looks blocky in 4 player splitscreen.

It's fun to mess around together, although the mechanics are crap. Trees don't fall when you cut them down, can't drain lakes, water acts like some weird kind of gel. Terraria is better in that sense, yet he prefers a 3D world. He was playing Terraria first. After downloading the Minecraft demo he didn't want to go back.

For now it's more fun for me than playing yet another Lego scripted game together. I start nodding off during those. The only really good one (Lego city undercover) is single player, doh. And for him it's more fun than DKTF or Rayman Legends where he keeps dying all the time.

At least he's stopped asking to watch Blitzwinger's Blitzvillage videos all the time. Play > watch. Maybe he'll learn some basics from it. Won't be how to build a solid structure though. (There's legos and blocks for that with amazing physics when they fall down)

I guess I'll build our own house when we play the ps4 version together. Have him add some secret rooms etc. I'm sure he'll love that.
