    Our Marketplace Picks: August 2018

    Our four Marketplace highlights for the previous month!

    Exploring the miniature worlds and the lore within and zipping back out to the desk, all under the guidance of the warm boom of Mr. Stickers' voice, brought me back to that dreamlike feeling I love in games. Even though it’s a small feature, I really liked that after you've done collecting all the stickers, you're let out of the classroom, where you discover the adventure you played took part in a regular Minecraft world.

    Having a nice beach party with quirky and colourful characters – this is what I'm all about. Naturally I got really obsessed with trying to get everyone to attend and achieving that perfect score. My favourite feature, however, is the one that is quite a spoiler – [SPOILER WARNING – SERIOUSLY, STOP READING IF YOU WANT YOUR BEACH PARTY TO BE A SUPRISE PARTY] a hidden sub-game which contrasts the sunny feel-good atmosphere with a shadowy, timeless version of the village where you can hear the character's exposed fears and anxieties.

    I had to try this out all by my lonesome, but what I really want is to get together with a couple of Mojangsters and either play Mob Master against them, or be subjected to their trickery and deceit (and see their true colours). I had fun myself though! During one playthrough, I died just as the last second for the round ticked down, and that was the most satisfying game death I've had in a long time. The "Mob Master" mechanic is my favourite here, but sharp level design and combat with a varied class system is sometimes all you need.

    I was a big fan of Pam's HarvestCraft back in the day. My friends and I started a bakery/restaurant and would force visitors to stuff their faces repeatedly. This continuation of the mod on Marketplace doesn’t feature everything from the mod, but it has the same homely feeling, including a village populated with people prone to shelling out quests onto innocent bystanders. The toil and moil of the common farmer has never seemed so appealing!
