BlockPost

Now for the best game on the list and my personal favourite. BlockPost is like you’re playing CounterStrike inside Minecraft. You get the same pixelated graphics, just the way you get in Minecraft, but the gameplay is very similar to CS: GO.

The weapons have some degree of customization available, and there’s a skill progression tree in place too. It’s a really fun game to try if you’re looking for a change from the serious gameplay both these games individually offer.

Who knew combining them would be so fun?
