  I’ve heard it can or does run like a dog on the switch. Perhaps depends on your world

    Chunks take a while to load, worse so when there are multiple people trying to venture in opposite directions.

    yeah it's frustrating to watch my kid play it. the draw distance is terrible, it's buggy, slow and imo not worth it on the switch.

    Deluxe includes cosmetics and minecoins for the shop, not worth it imo

    Generally yes - but at that age I would have thought you'd know if you're kids are into it. My kids, as with their Pokemon interest, became obsessed from their friends being involved first.

    Game is okay - but you should guide them a bit as it's a free-form exploration or building or crafting game. At least my 6.5 year old has a hard time setting his own 'goals' to achieve, and gets distracted just trying to kill things.
    Nonetheless with a guide book he seems to think he knows all about the mobs and lore/items, with out actually having achieved it.
    Same as his interest with Pokemon haha

    Minecraft is generally less insiduous (loot-boxey/gamblery/slots) than Roblox, and is less violent than Fortnite. So gets my vote of approval for younger kids - caveat above aside.
    My 4-yo just potters around and gets stuck constantly but still seems to enjoy it. His hands are a bit small for controllers still so has a hard time navigating, whereas my 6yo has got the hang of it after a good few days playing it, albeit finds it hard to do multiple things at once (like run and jump, or run, jump and attack). That will come with time I guess.

    Most of my kids' friends play in creative mode (no threat - unlimited blocks) but I make mine play in survival (haha).

    You can also setup a server if you are that way inclined to play with them from another console/computer and it can cost nothing, with Aternos. This is advanced however.

    I play with an almost-7yo and a 4yo! 😮 The latter isn't as into it, but 7yo loves it. He'll be stoked to be able to play it on the switch (and iPad for $2.99!) Lucky him! (and me)
