28. Minecraft (2011)

What it’s about: Minecraft is an open-world sandbox game that allows players to shape their world via crafting and exploration.
Why we like it: Minecraft is the definition of creative freedom. Whether you are playing alone or in a group, the vast, moldable world can become anything. Players can choose to build epic communities with friends or work to defeat every in-game battle and puzzle, but at the end of the day, Minecraft is particularly special because it can be anything.
