Minecraft.

I usually hate creative builder games with a passion, I joined fairly early in the alpha process and fell in love with the blocky design.

Then when i thought the game couldn't get more engaging, forge was released for it and mods started being made and it opened a whole new universe that I'm /still/ playing today.

    Also was Minecraft for me, but different story.

    Back in 2011 or so someone told me it was a game where you could do anything: build anything anywhere, craft, fight, explore an unlimited world.. But without mentioning the graphics and that it was made with cubes. I was a kid back then, so I believed it would be realistic graphics. Imagine my disappointment when they showed it to me.

    But I actually watched some videos after and tried it myself and absolutely loved it.
