Terraria

Although the game does feature combat the game’s focus on building and exploration is the central theme. Children can use their understanding of the real world to work out how to craft materials in the game, using wood to make walls and workbenches, stone to build houses, etc. Crafting in a virtual world allows children to create almost anything their imagination can conceive with materials that would likely be out of reach in the real world. Experimenting in this way may lead to a desire to replicate the experience in the real world complementing their virtual skills with real world design and construction skills.

Players can save the game at any time.

The open-ended nature of the game means players can progress at their own pace.
