Hello and greetings from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeerHD and this is a video about
a Sandbox games, where they give you tools and let you run wild with them.
Sandbox is a wide term, so I included various games, some of those are 100% sandbox, others
are just 50%, so do not fixate on the term itself.
And also in this list I tend to avoid MMO’s.
Not a rule, but just for you to know.
Enjoy.
Garry’s Mod
Let’s start with the true star in the sandbox universe.
This game is really just a giant toy box.
Absent of objectives and rules, it provides players with various props, character models,
and a whole load of tools from which you can create all manner of weird stuff and kinky
stuff.
The Garry's Mod community is a tremendous source of content and has added hundreds of
unique modes to the game.
Here you can be a plant, a soldier or a vodka bottle, or just vodka, without bottle.
You name it.
Spore
I think everyone will agree with me when I say, that the best part of this game is creature
creation process.
You can make a flying giraffe with four dicks on its head or a giant floof of gnarble snorbs
meant for glittering gibberish.
Yes, that’s exactly what I said.
No I don’t understand it either.
So, anyway it’s up to you what or who you create.
After a creation process you have to dominate the world by killing weaker stuff than you
are.
Aha, sounds cool, but it’s boring, so you just go back to creation screen over and over
again and commit some more crimes against nature.
Prison Architect
Here you can create your own prison.
Tadam!
And not prison of mind, where most of you already live, but real prison with real inmates
and real guards and real prison toilets and prison walls and prison stuff in general.
Yeah.
This whole game let’s your imagination fly, but first you have to learn how to connect
electricity to the electric chair, because no matter what your stands in real life about
death penalty are, here you’re definitely executing some nasty inmates just because
you can.
Minecraft
This game has no age restrictions.
Doesn’t matter if you’re 7 or 57, Minecraft can bring you lots of joy.
And I mean it.
My favorite games are Elder Scrolls, Witcher, Starcraft and similar ones, created for a
mature player, but I had tons of joy building giant dicks in Minecraft.
Back in a days I even had my minecraft channel with 300 subscribers, and that somehow felt
a lot.
So, I do believe many of us have tried minecraft, but if you, for some reason think that this
is a childish game, think again.
There is nothing childish in building giant dick skyscrapers.
Please write in the comment section what is your craziest creation in Minecraft.
Share your experience with everybody.
Universe Sandbox 2
In a sense it’s not a game, but serious physics and astronomy simulator.
But we all know what you gonna do here: smash that asteroid into another asteroid, smash
that moon into that planet, smash that sun into to that black hole, smash black hole
into another black hole SMASH!.
Yeah!
Or you can create calm nice solar system, where everyone lives in peace and prosperity
and then wipe everything out in an terrible cosmic event.
Games like this shows us that everything we’ve got can be instantly destroyed by one wandering
star and there is nothing we can do to prevent it.
Like absolutely nothing.
We’re all alive just because no stars decided to swing by.
Yet.
Kerbal Space Program
It’s an ambitious simulator that tasks players with sending rockets into space, colonising
planets, mining asteroids, and fooling around with moon buggies.
Game is fun, but also it is hard: here you have to create your own spaceship, so don’t
expect anything easy.
It’s a rocket science all right?
Building a spaceship here reminds me of creating abominations in Spore - every detail can be
scaled, turned and attached to another detail.
So, you have to do everything right in order to take a space flight.
Game has really good physics engine, so you can’t take off successfully with a giant
unicorn or something, but if you practice enough, you can send giant vodka bottle to
the moon.
Shape is good, very rockety I’d say.
My biggest wish about Kerbal Space is to see Elon Musk playing it.
Can he go to space from the first try?
By the way, in 2015 Elon said that “Kerbal is awesome”, so we know that he at least
tried it.
Factorio
Game is in early access, but actually it kinda feels like finished product already.
It has overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam, so I can guarantee that you can buy
and enjoy this game without fear.
Factorio is a game about building and creating automated factories to produce items of increasing
complexity, within an infinite 2D world.
Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into amazing structures,
and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.
So, what are you waiting for?
It’s your chance to make biggest and greatest vodka factory in in the entire universe.
Game is great.
Seriously.
And now it’s the best time for you to press that like button.
There is no way in the world that you watched so far and you didn’t like what you see.
Press like button and I will marinate herring in your honor!
Terraria
People tend to call Terraria Minecraft 2D, but it’s nothing like that.
OK, I’m sorry, it’s exactly like that, but at the same time it’s very different.
Yeah, I don’t know where I’m going wit this.
Here you have the whole world you can explore alone or with friends, dig deep, fight hard,
craft and build - game has everything you need and even more.
Exploration possibilities are endless, world is huge, and you will never get bored in there.
And now, what do you think, which one of those, Minecraft or Terraria is better?

The Forest
How strong are your balls?
I guess this is not the question you hear every day, except if you live with your very
weird mother, then anything can happen, but I’m not talking about your strange family,
no, I’m talking about The Forest.
This game will ask you this question over and over again, because alongside the sandbox
part, where you cut the trees, build houses, lay traps and freeroam the whole world there
is a... cannibal part of the game, where you have to defend yourself against a clan of
genetic mutant enemies that have beliefs, families, morals and that appear almost human.
Nights are scary in the forest, you’ll need tough ones.
Have you any crazy stories from this game?
Share them with us in the comment section, let people who never played The Forest understand
the fun of it.
Besiege
This is a physics based building game in which you construct medieval siege engines and lay
waste to immense fortresses and peaceful villages.
Build a machine which can crush windmills, wipe out battalions of brave soldiers and
transport valuable resources, defending your creation against cannons, archers and everything
else.
Game looks beautiful, the art style is 10 out of 10.
So build your mechanical herring with fins of terror and destroy some peaceful castles
with your marinated hate.
And now it’s the time for honorable mentions:
Cities Skylines, Astroneer, Surviving Mars, Fallout Shelter and of course The Sims 4,
where you can do crazy social experiments.
There is a lot more games to talk about if you expand the term of sandbox.
In example GTA V is not a sandbox game itself, but you can have great sandboxish fun in it
just because death means nothing in there.
Also, you gonna be surprised by the sandbox capabilities of Starcraft 2.
You can make entire campaigns here, create your own maps, even your own games.
Yes, you can make a 3D shooter in Starcraft 2 engine or even play Bejeweled in there,
the possibilities are endless, and it doesn’t really matter that this sandbox fun isn’t
meant to be the main thing of the game and it is very very hard to learn.
There are probably way more sandboxish games that avoided this list.
If you know some, please share your wisdom in the comment section, many people will be
grateful.
And now, I want to invite you like my Instagram, Twitter and especially Facebook page, where
I post not only my own videos, but also links to free legal games all over the internet.
And, last, but not least.
Have you pressed that like button?
Have you?
I’m waiting...
I have all day... press it.
Do it.
OK, thanks.
Thank you for watching and have nice day, bye.
