    The graphics are better than minecraft, the paint feature gives more options when building. There's blocks that aren't just cubes, and the blueprint functionality makes it easy to build towns or cities using community made builds.

    Absolutely a better game than minecraft in my opinion, but the reality is most audiences who still like minecraft will not like this. It's much more realistic, detailed, and hence more effort is required to play. Also, by default it has much harder survival mechanics, like food preservation and temperature.

    Minecraft may have a lot of features, but Vintage Story has a more realistic feel to it. From the videos I have watched, I can tell I will be picking up this masterpiece of a game.
