However, the developers have bridged the gap by adding in things such as Redstone for a more personalized building. Unfortunately, the game is not free to download with in-app purchases.

10. Friday the 13th
Price: FREE Of course, no list is complete without the horror-puzzle game, Friday the 13th. Besides its thrill factor, the game offers a ton of surprises that’ll keep you looking over your shoulder. The mechanics of the game are simple: players must slaughter all the people without being captured by the cops while avoiding land mines, traps, and (strangely) rotary telephones. This game is definitely age-restricted. We don’t recommend this one to kids as it’s just too gruesome. Thankfully, this game can be played offline –– as long as you’re okay with the blood and gore.
