The other night I got a real strong urge to play Minecraft. I forked over the $35 and downloaded it and got right into it. It's a weird experience so far, I did not realise just how many updates have passed by since I last played it. I will say that I am impressed. I was worried at 1.12.2 that all updates would just feel like mods, and in some ways yeah, some things still don't feel at home, but there are some other great things. Terrain generation is unreal! The river networks are awesome, and those massive cliffs are great. The biomes are really expansive and interesting. The caves and ravines are tight and claustrophobic in an exhilarating way. There's some new music that's been added too, I dunno if it's C418 or not, but it fits really well. It's a relief seeing these changes are so good, because whenever classic things get changed the turn is typically for the worse. But if you don't like them, at least you can revert to the older versions, which I've got to say I'm surprised they still let you do that. That seems like the sort of thing a company will be cunts about and say "YOU CANT DO THAT!" I wouldn't be surprised if they try to stop players doing that at some point in the future. But for now, I must say that I am really pleasantly surprised. I've already lost a good 20 hours to this game by now.
