Been waiting for it to go on sale and figured my son might like it since he plays Minecraft a lot. Wondering if I gotta watch out for in-game purchases though (can I require password for purchases?) and online interactions (def don’t want him chatting with others). It is seems pretty hack and slash but if a lot of reading is involved maybe he’s too young for it (6 ½).

Edit: Sorry, meant to say Dungeons, not Legends.

    I haven’t played Minecraft Legends, but I have played Minecraft Dungeons (and the original Minecraft), if they have followed the same formula, then there shouldn’t be much text in it. And there will be in-game purchases.

    You can watch some let’s play of the game on YouTube, to get some idea of what’s in the game.

    My 6.5yo is playing it with me and he loves it. We got the DLC edition or whatever and are level 50 about to play the final boss of the main game, haven’t reached the Stronghold yet or any of the DLC.

    There’s a bit of a learning curve, but so far I’ve been able to teach my son that Green(Rare) and Orange (Unique) are better than Common (Grey). For items and gear, higher level items are almost always better, for pools of mobs he’s better off kiting and using ranged attacks.

    He can’t read much yet, so I have to explain what the enchantments are and he’ll upgrade if he likes them.

    I like the game way more than Minecraft Legends.
