Minecraft is an indie sandbox video game based around building structures and exploring the world for new and better materials. Contained within is a survival mode (the most commonly played), as well as a free-play build mode, called "Creative Mode," in which you don't have to go looking for materials as you already have full access to everything.
Survival mode starts you off with nothing. You begin on the surface of the world and must find materials for crafting and building with your bare hands. Like many survival games, you will be faced with an onslaught of enemies at some point, and night time is generally that time in the world of Minecraft. Make sure to build yourself a shelter quickly so you can avoid certain death!

Pros
Pro Enthralling, unpredictable gameplay
Exploring and fighting expands on what is a randomly generated world, never knowing what's going to happen next or what the player will find. There are no set goals and no end to reach: it is all a sandbox experience that the player formulates as they go along, making it all the more thrilling.
Pro Amazing extended community
The community surrounding this game is huge due to its popularity. There are lots of servers and projects revolving around it that allow for so many different choices in how one wants to play and who they want to play with. From crafting guides/videos, themed servers and YouTube play sessions, there is enough out there to help one find what they are looking for
