Minecraft
| Release date: | 2015-07-29 |
| Genre: | Adventure |
| Developer: | Mojang |
Let’s start with probably the best educational game of all time. Minecraft took the entire world by storm. Its formula, inspired by the Lego bricks, has proven to be truly fantastic and ageless.
There are two basic modes in the game: Survival and Creative. The former pits you against all sorts of dangers in a procedurally-generated world. You need to collect resources, build and craft things, as well as manage your hunger bar. You’ll also encounter all sorts of monsters along the way, including the famous creeper.
The probably even more iconic Creative mode is basically like a Lego playground. People have used it to craft insane stuff, including replicas of famous buildings and locations, and so can you! Still, if you’re more action-inclined, you can always stick to the survival mode and its two variations (Hardcore and Adventure) instead.

Elden Ring
| Release date: | 2022-02-25 |
| Genre: | Action RPG |
| Developer: | FromSoftware |
This is obviously a FromSoftware game, with insane difficulty level and all that jazz, but there is something special about this one. It’s…more accessible, perhaps? Anyway, Dark Souls’ creators’ latest outing introduces some new elements to the famous formula, making the mix feel pretty fresh.
One of the things responsible for that is the open-world format. If you can’t beat a particular boss, there’s no need to grind your teeth and attempt that for the umpteenth time. Instead, you can simply move on to the next one and try your luck someplace else.
As far as other stuff is concerned, the game features a dark fantasy world known as the Lands Between. There is combat involving several types of weapons and magic spells, there is a trusty mount to help you roam this realm, there is crafting and there is summoning various allies to aid you in battles. All in all, it’s a fantastic FromSoftware game, so if you’re a fan, you’ll love this one.

Risk of Rain 2
| Release date: | 2019-03-28 |
| Genre: | Indie |
| Developer: | Hopoo Games, LLC |
Risk of Rain 2 is both similar and quite different from the previous game. The core gameplay features remain the same: it’s a quite punishing roguelike shooter where monsters get tougher the longer you play.
The main difference is that the game shifted from 2D to 3D. As one of fourteen available Survivors, your task is to progress through several levels, taking out alien beasts attacking you, using special abilities at your disposal (each character features a different set of skills), collecting useful items that boost your stats, and locating a teleporter that leads to the next area, until you reach the final one.
Once you activate a teleporter, all hell breaks loose. You need to defend yourself from enemy swarms and dangerous bosses. Risk of Rain 2 is a simple, fun and pretty addictive game. Try it especially with a bunch of friends (the coop mode supports up to four players).
By the way, an expansion titled Survivors of the Void was released in March 2022.
