Terraria

Sandbox with your own goals

A 2D sandbox adventure where you dig, build and craft while ever-tougher bosses unlock new gear tiers and biomes. Its huge item pool and hidden secrets make it a near-endless experience, especially with friends.

Just Cause 2

Sandbox with your own goals

A massive tropical island nation serves as a sandbox for over-the-top destruction: with grappling hook, parachute and countless vehicles, Rico Rodriguez blows his way through a dictatorship. The story is secondary to the gleeful chaos.

Necesse

Sandbox with your own goals

A 2D sandbox survival game in an endless procedurally generated world where you build a settlement alone or with friends, delve into dungeons, fight bosses and craft gear. Its appeal lies in blending base building and settler management with action-driven gear progression.

A 2D sandbox blend of Terraria and Dungeon Keeper: you direct a band of dwarves, build fortresses, gather resources and craft gear while exploring a randomly generated world and fending off monsters.

Magic Carpet

Fantasy setting

You pilot a flying carpet over island worlds, casting spells and collecting mana to destroy rival wizards' castles. Its early 3D flight and deformable terrain were groundbreaking for the time.

Citadel: Forged With Fire

Fantasy setting

You build massive castles, tame beasts and wield magic in an open fantasy sandbox, while rival players compete with you for power and influence. Its appeal lies in the freedom to choose your own path through scheming, hunting or construction.

Make Sail

Gameplay comes before story

You build your own ship piece by piece and sail it across a dangerous ocean full of storms and beasts. Each better part you find lets you make the vessel bigger, faster and distinctly your own.
