Minecraft ($26.95)
Oh Minecraft, the cultural phenomenon that changed the landscape of early access gaming as we know it. This title, for all intents and purposes, flipped the idea of how to release games on its head, showing that indie studios can go from nobodies to superstars in a matter of days. It wouldn’t have been able to do that without compelling gameplay coupled with an easy-to-understand premise. Players are dropped in a randomly generated world with survival as your only objective.
As the player, you decide what you want to do, and the possibilities are endless. Want to travel to the depths of the world and search for diamonds as you fight against hordes of zombies? Done. Maybe you’re more of a builder and want to create a replica of the Death Star? Done. Whatever you choose to do in this sandbox, it’s an experience that you will lose yourself in for hours and hours.
