Fabulous
Apart from the fact that we spawned in Mordor and had to struggle for our lives in the first hour it was easy to get into due to the similarity to Minecraft, yet different and challenging. It feels like an actual game with fully functional gameplay with few rough edges left. Exploration, Farming (though my crops seem to be quite slow to grow), Different Races, Mining, Creative Building, Survival - it is all there. There is some guidance, but it is also quite intuitive. And there is some info on the wiki: https://wiki.minetest.net/Special:WhatLinksHere/Games/Lord_of_the_Test My favorite so far next to NodeCore.
I posted some more detailed feedback here: https://github.com/minetest-LOTR/Lord-of-the-Test/issues/183
By the way, despite being a great game, I don't think this deserves the "One-of-a-kind / Original" tag - there are multiple games in that direction, and the concept is not new. I think this tag is generally a bit overused, tags should be voted by the community.
Interesting Concept.
Yet there are a few issues, issue one, default:tree can be punched down with your fist but other trees can't, please make default:tree un-fistpunchable. Another issue is the player should start with a axe because that assumes that trees can't be punched down, other than that I like the structures and biomes.
Amazing Race Game
I love the concept of choosing whether you have to be dwarf, orc or human. This fantasy is quite good.
Lotr-themed minecraft
This subgame is now old but still enjoyable. It has a lot of content (brewing potions and alcool), classes, biomes, and even an endgoal (rings), the help/manual is well integrated in the game. The survival game is really fun, I loved the exploration (always wanted to visit Lorien). The varied decorative nodes makes the creative game really fun too.
The divide/alliance between mobs and player classes can be great for a multiplayer server too.
Medivial
Pretty medivial lookong game with mystic mechanims based on magic. Love it.
But why cant I kill mobs
