Man, nothing fits the answer better than Minecraft. That thing exploded into one of the biggest games ever... o:

It's a surprisingly bad game for having so many sales.

I think it`s a good game, but I understand that not everyone will think the same : X What`s bad about it?

There's really nothing to do . You can build, you can create random games through the use of functions provided you have the imagination and want to do a useless task.  There's really no gameplay outside of that, or atleast for what gameplay is provided, it's there just for the sake of being there, not actually good gameplay.

Yeah, that is one of the biggest things against this game. There really isn`t any purpose to play the game. No goal, no story, no point. Though I guess that may be part of the charm this game has, at least for some people. It could be a sort of "Make your own story" out of it. I`ve seen people do hardcore playthroughs of the game, trying to survive and defeat the ender dragon as a goal, or maybe explore as much of the world as you can, to see what sort of interesting things you can find. And there`s the biggest draw to MC, which is building. That may be the thing most done in MC, whether it`s your dream house, a weird machines, spirte art, or even recreate all of pokemon in MC. It`s not the most exciting game and has core things lacking, but it has things about it that some people like : )
