Children learn through play, and as adults we never quite lose our fascination with games. Whether it’s to challenge our problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and put our minds to work, help us turn back the clock and step into our childhood shoes, or simply to allow us to defocus from stressful surroundings by letting us step into a different reality, games are for everyone, not just children.
Welcome to creativeideas.org.uk, where we compile a list of some of our all-time favourite creative games that are just the thing for helping you escape from reality and into your own imagination for a while.
Minecraft
This primitive game, with its very simple graphics, opens a whole new realm of possibility, and one’s only limit is one’s own imagination. Armed with nothing but crafting tools and basic building blocks, you are able to create whole new worlds and shape your environment. What could be more creative than that?
The options are literarily limitless; you can build anything from machinery to whole new worlds. You could potentially create your own Matrix.
Spins for Free
Most online casino sites these days offer free spins to new players. This is a great way to enjoy some fun games and get to experience casino-like thrills without spending a penny, yet not forgoing the opportunity of winning some money. If that’s not neat, then we don’t know what is.
The free spins are usually on the most popular games with the catchiest music and brightest colours. However, some casinos also allow you to use them on games of your own choosing, so you could pick one that would just be your perfect fit.
Doom
If you have anger issues, this is the game for you. Jokes apart, though, this game is legendary in the sense that it revolutionized the industry in terms of being a pioneering first-person shooter game, resulting in the birth of a now popularized genre.
The player assumes the role of the main protagonist, a space marine called Doomguy who makes his way through Hell, battling the countless demons that cross his path. The objective of the game is always the same: avoid obstacles, collect power-ups, destroy the creatures, make it to the exit and proceed to the next level. Your opponents become more powerful and levels more difficult as you progress through the game.
The best part about the game, however, is the selection of weapons, the mesmerizing graphics and the possibility of playing multiplayer.
