1. Los Angelcraft

Outside of GTA V, this Minecraft monstrosity may be the most evocative recreation of Los Angeles in a video game. Creator Fujiwara1990 clearly went the extra mile: every single building visible is accessible and furnished.

2. Portal Texture Pack

A lot of recreations have been built in Minecraft, but most of them end up feeling slightly wonky. This Portal texture pack by carlotta4th absolutely nails the atmosphere of Valve’s masterpiece.

3. Conan O’Brien's Show

Although Conan’s proposal for an entire Minecraft episode of his show got squashed, the small tease they gave us of Andy and Conan’s adventures in the Minecraft universe were delightfully charming.

4. Acropolis of Athens

As Pericles said to the Athenians upon the erection of the ancient citadel, “What you leave behind isn’t what’s engraved in stone monuments, but what’s woven into the lives of others.” Good work, gtofan74.

5. Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64

The only possible thing harder than racing this notoriously difficult track from Mario Kart 64 is building it block by block in Minecraft. We hope creator chocobokupo makes more tracks from the classic racer!

6. Adventure Time’s Candy Kingdom

While this castle from Ooo is impressive enough, designer Flame Prince Finn has also created the iconic Tree Fort too. Such talent is beyond comprehension! Beyond space! Beyond time!

7. Fort Bulwark

While this military base by the sea inherits its name from Oblivion, this is a much more modern take that exists in its own universe. Creator GolankaSwe now owns the ocean.

8. Zelda Adventure Map

Everything you love from the classic Zelda universe exists in this map filled with six dungeons and plenty of bombs, bats, and boomerangs. One of the early Minecraft hits from Gary520.

9. WesterosCraft

Winterfell is just a small glimpse of the amazingly ambitious undertaking by a group of 125 dedicated Game of Thrones fans. Look up the Welcome To WesterosCraft video and hang on to your jaw.

10. Mystcraft

The past and future of games collide in this mashup of the Myst and Minecraft mythos. If you stare into the auburn sunset you can see the sun setting on an older generation of gamers.

11. Apocalyptic Church

Some of the most impressive Minecraft creations come directly from the minds of their designers, like this Gothic cathedral created by linusaccount. Intimidating enough to inspire its own lore.

12. Star Wars Trench Run

Fundamental design flaws in the original Death Star aside (why is there a vulnerable hole leading straight to the main reactor?) this fan made Minecraft movie by Paradise Decay totally kills it.

13. Wall-E

And here’s where Wall-E’s condemnation of entertainment folds in itself. This intricate creation of the beloved robot took so much work it’s the exact opposite of the lazy dystopia the movie predicted.

14. Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings

The City of the Kings has rarely loomed so large in our imagination. It would be a terrible shame if some Orcs and Creepers teamed up to take it down. Exemplary work by Cornbass.

15. All 151 Original Pokémon

QueenMercury has made a grand homage to all 151 original Pokémon, designing each one by hand without the aid of a scripting program. Pikachu’s just the tip of this obsessive iceberg.

16. Battlestar Galactica

It took over 5 million blocks and nearly half a year for Ragnur Le Barbare to create this lifesize model of the legendary ship. The kind of dedication only a Cylon could muster.

17. Petra

Mrc93’s creation of Jordan’s historic landmark might be the 8th Wonder of the World. If UNESCO isn’t successful in protecting the world heritage sight, we’ll always have the Minecraft version.

Wonder through an endlessly gray world in search for some unknown thing while also fighting strange apparitions

1. Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery

A blocky, pixelated style doesn’t have to mean ugly visuals, as proven by this mesmerizing game.

2. Child of Light

Don’t you wish more video games had a storybook-like feel, the way this title does?

3. Broken Age

Another title that seems like its graphics sprang straight from a children’s story book that never was.

4. El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron

The gameplay is pretty inane--a character named Enoch can repair his holy armor by using hearts (???). But the visuals? Stunning

5. World of Goo

Sometimes the best art doesn’t totally make sense. World of Goo definitely comes from the Salvador Dali School of Gaming.

6. Dragon Age: Inquisition

Sure, the third installment in the Dragon Age series features fantastic gameplay, but would you look at these costumes, please?

7. Monument Valley

Critics have slammed the game’s short length, but that’s kind of like criticizing the Mona Lisa for its small size.

8. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Reviewers have called this peaceful tale “mesmerizing,” and we couldn’t agree more.

9. BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea

Honestly, we could have picked any game from the BioShock series, thanks to its amazing aesthetic, which designers have described as a cross between 1984 and Logan's Run. Even this DLC takes the look to amazing heights. Or, rather, depths.

10. Kentucky Route Zero

What if you could play a game that looked a little like a Hockney painting? Wonder no further.

11. Ancient Trader

Some of the most beautiful art in history comes from the world of cartography, and the creators of Ancient Trader seemed to know that.

12. Gone Home

The setting may be ordinary -- an empty house -- but sometimes a story is so quietly powerful that it elevates the humdrum into something extraordinary.

13. The Cave

Sharp-eyed gamers know that this is the second title on this list from Double Fine entertainment. Maybe that’s because their visuals are double fine.

14. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception

Every leaf and drop of water has a realism so stunning that the player might forget to LOOK BEHIND YOU THERE’S A MERCENARY WITH A GUN.

15. Okami

Japanese myths and folklore inspire a game that looks like an ancient painting come to life.

16. Grim Fandango

The game designers turned to the Mexican Day-of-the-Dead aesthetic to create a colorful, unforgettable world -- a world that’s getting a new life this month on several platforms.
