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.

The game has intuitive virtual pad controls that let players command attacks, special moves, super combos, and more. Of course, you can’t play a game against real players when you’re offline.

For example, if you touch the bushes their leaves move, birds fly off to the sky, and so much more!

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.
