3. Minecraft
"Minecraft?" you're probably thinking to yourself right about now, "how could such a child-friendly game like Minecraft be included so high on this list?" Well, in all honestly, the world-building sim can be absolutely terrifying under the right conditions, especially as nightfall begins to creep in. From venomous spiders to camouflaged cave-dwellers, eight-legged enemies lurk around just about every corner of Minecraft. Want to peacefully collect some resources away from the intense action you're used to in other games? Well you're straight out of luck, because the deeper you dig and the father you explore, the more potential there is you'll disturb some creepy crawlies around the next corner. The Creepers might have become the most iconic figures from the game, but the world's inhabitants are just as memorable if encountered under the right conditions.
