Minecraft - https://minecraft.net
[From their website] Minecraft
is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built
structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew
players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.
It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun
rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible
things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also
visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.
