How we pick games like Minecraft

The order depends on how much each game has in common with Minecraft. Style of play and genre (Sandbox) count the most, then whether you play on the same side or against each other, and after that pace, setting and camera, with the most-played game going first when two are tied. Every game here runs on at least one platform that Minecraft is on, so nobody in the group needs new hardware to switch.
