The Best Crafting Games of All Time

TOP: games with crafting and construction on PC and console. The editors of VGTimes have compiled a list of the best crafting games of all time. Crafting (from the English craft) is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to create items from various resources. Typically, games that feature crafting mechanics also feature resource gathering or construction.

The mechanics are suitable for many genres, but most often crafting is given a lot of attention in survival simulators. Among the best survival simulators with crafting, resource collection and construction, Minecraft deserves special mention. It was this game that popularized the mechanics of crafting and served as a reference point for many imitators.

In some games, crafting takes up a significant part of the game time, while in others it can only play a supporting role. For example, in Conan Exiles, building and crafting are fundamental mechanics, but in The Last of Us Part 2, they are just one of many game features.
