Games for Good
Creativity
Minecraft
Ever since its release all the way back in 2011, this blocky world has showed how creative people can be. One of the main reasons for this is that the game is not based on any particular story. Players are left to their own imagination. With the tools supplied to them players have created almost anything you can think of. Citys both real, like Los Angles or fictional, like Kings landing and Ministereth, star ships like the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 to working computer and a fully playable creation of the original Pokémon. With this game still getting updates, adding more and more options, it looks like we will be discovering new creations for a long time to come.

Dreams
This is not so much a game but a tool/software that allows players to create whatever they can dream of. Using this incredible game people have made equally incredible pieces of art. These creations included first person shooters, platformers, racers, horror, fantasy adventures or even a highly detailed reaction of a full English breakfast (I’m not joking), you can do it. Unlike Minecraft this is much newer only being released last year, we’ve only scratched the surface of what can be made.

Subnautica
Have you ever wanted a life by the sea? Well, this sci-fi survival game gives you that. After your spaceship “the Aurora” crashes on an ocean covered world, you have to use your skills to gather sources and build a new home for yourself. One of the games main features is its’ base building. The game allows you to build where you want and its whatever design bests suits you. If you really like the base building you can go into creative mode where all those pesky survival elements are removed and it becomes DIY SOS: The Underwater Build.
