Minecraft Dungeons has charm and potential, but needs lot more time in the furnace

  Minecraft is one of the most popular games on the planet, so it’s natural that Microsoft, after buying creator Mojang some years back, would attempt to apply the genre’s playful, blocky aesthetic to other genres. After modest success with the Story Mode adventure game and Pokémon GO-like Minecraft Earth, they’ve tried their hand at a light action-RPG à la Diablo — and unfortunately come up rather short.

Sure, it definitely existed; however, the state was rarely involved, meaning that gambling taverns and such throughout history often weren’t the safest of places. Nowadays, of course, gambling is anything but illegal, and it actually makes up a fairly sizable portion of the tax revenue that governments depend on across the globe. Whilst pretty much all gamblers will agree that the casino conditions in the
