Definitely Terraria, Factorio, or Project Zomboid.

is rather cool and fully open-source.

Crusader Kings

Dyson Sphere Program - more of a factory builder than a sandbox I guess but it is sandbox in a way

Also Garry’s mod - showing my age here but this was the classic sandbox game I grew up with

Considering 250GB of mods, Skyrim lol.

My list:

  • No Man’s Sky – exploring the universe
  • Parkitect, OpenRCT – building a theme park
  • Satisfactory – building a factory, exploiting a planet with Diesel trucks without destroying the real life one

What defines a sandbox for you?-

IMO sandbox games are games in which players have the freedom to do things that make gameplay non-linear, such as exploring the world or building structures. Sandbox games can also be based entirely on player creativity, like creating levels or even entire game modes (or games) within a game

ah, then we have a pretty similar definition :)

Minest is a lot of fun

openTTD is fun if you want to harrass an abstraction of a city

Terraria, definitely.

Unciv is pretty cool. It’s a open source civilization building game. Pretty entertaining with all the various mods it have

Garry’s Mod

Stormworks: Build and Rescue!

i really want to like this game and i have reinstalled it at least a half dozen times now but i always end up extremely frustrated with it

Oh really? Why ? 🥺

i think i just suck at these kinds of games really… like i want to be able to build awesome things and it turns out to be a lot of work and I’m just not good at it

The classic ==> its evolution…

  • Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero ==> Burnout Paradise

  • Phantasy Star Online ==> Borderlands 2 (online co-op)

  • Perfect Dark ==> Battlefield 3 (online multiplayer)

cool question georgy :)

[ whoever down-voted this - I’m curious to know why? ]
