So I played a bit of Steve by myself and was generally doing poorly...because I was only focusing on upgrading my tools and sword, and just throwing myself at them with the Minecart and TNT. It was only after I started using blocks that I actually made some progress at getting good with the character. We all know that Minecraft is all about building to survive, and I was clearly doing less of both. So when I started placing blocks down, everything just opened up to me and there I was, actually scoring a win.
The character is fun to play as, but he requires dedication, heavy set-ups, and maxed-out gear to tap into his full potential. He just came out so I don't know how he's gonna turn out in a week, but lemme just say, there's potential.
