Brings what grabs you about Spore: a sandbox with your own goals, building and crafting as well as an open world.

A life sim where you create Sims with distinct personality traits and guide their daily lives, careers and relationships across a seamless open neighborhood. Its charm lies in the quirky, often hilarious chaos that unfolds along the way.

Satisfactory

Sandbox with your own goals

As a FICSIT Pioneer you build sprawling automated factories in first person on an alien planet. Designing efficient production chains in a beautiful open world, solo or in co-op, is deeply satisfying.

Astroneer

Sandbox with your own goals

As an astronaut you explore colorful planets, reshape terrain like clay with your terrain tool, and build bases with automated production chains. A relaxed mix of discovery, gathering and tinkering, solo or in co-op.

Kerbal Space Program

Sandbox with your own goals

You assemble rockets and spacecraft from parts and send the endearing Kerbals to moons and planets under realistic orbital physics. Failure is part of the fun and often as entertaining as success.

Solar 2

Sci-fi setting

You control a celestial body in an abstract sandbox universe, growing from a tiny asteroid into planets, stars and even black holes. Its relaxed, free-form play encourages experimentation.

No Man's Sky

Lots to discover

A near-infinite procedurally generated universe where you hop freely between vivid alien planets, gather resources, build bases and upgrade your ships. Years of free updates have turned it into a relaxed sci-fi sandbox with optional co-op.

Kerbal Space Program 2

Sandbox with your own goals

You build rockets and spacecraft out of parts for the little green Kerbals and try to reach other planets and moons, learning orbital physics through trial and error. The early-access sequel aimed at colonies and interstellar travel but was left unfinished after the studio was shut down.

Slime Rancher

Lots to discover

As rancher Beatrix, you vacuum up adorable slimes on a distant planet, feed them and sell their plorts to expand your ranch. It pairs a laid-back farming loop with relaxed exploration of a colorful world full of secrets and new slime species.

The Sims 2

Cosy, great for unwinding

The definitive life sim: build homes, raise families and follow your Sims across generations, with inherited genetics, wants and fears producing quirky, personal stories.

TerraTech

Sandbox with your own goals

You assemble custom vehicles from blocks to mine resources, build bases and fight your way across a procedurally generated planet. The appeal lies in creative tinkering and testing your own contraptions.
