Hello and greetings from Eastern Europe, my name is ColdBeer and this time I prepared
you an amazing list of an upcoming sandbox games.
Some of them will give you a total freedom and some has limitations, like only 50% of
the freedom.
So, don’t expect all of them to be at the same level.
Also I won’t be talking about games that are in Early Access from 2016 or 2017.
Most of us already know such titles like Brick Rigs, where you can construct various machines
from Lego-like bricks, or even famous Scrap Mechanic.
Yeah, Scrap Mechanic is in Early Access from 2016.
The year when you were still young and your scales showed less kilos.
Oh, those were the times.
Although the full version of Scrap Mechanic will be released this year, keep an eye on
it, it is really cool game.
So let’s start the list with
Space Engine
This is a 1:1 scale science-based Universe simulator, featuring billions upon billions
of galaxies, nebulae, stars and planets, all shown at their full real-world scale.
That sounds incredible and a bit unbelievable, but it's true.
Here you can explore Earth and our neighboring worlds in the Solar System, orbit a black
hole or even dive into it or fly to a random galaxy billions of light-years away, visit
anything in between seamlessly, without any transitions.
Although you can't mess with the given universe like in famous Universe Sandbox game, here
you can control time, universe appearance and... your own vodka intake while playing.
Yeah, you probably have to adjust that one more carefully.
And while doing that you can travel faster than light or form your spaceship armada and
embark on a mission to another planet.
And you can even make it real time so after 10 real years you will finally arrive at Pluto
in full glory.
You know, you can beat the main story of Skyrim in about 35 hours and here you can actually
play for decades.
I know, I know, unbelievable.
Although you will probably get bored after a day or two.
Or sooner.
Anyway, this is a great exploration game, amazing science tool for everyone who loves
space.
Game is in early access from 2019 and we have to wait for the full release one more year.
Satisfactory
This is a first-person open-world factory building game with a dash of exploration and
combat.
Play alone or with friends, explore an alien planet, create multi-story factories, and
enter conveyor belt heaven!
Basically this is a Factorio game but in 3D setting.
Here you will conquer nature by building massive factories everywhere.
Expand wherever and however you want.
The planet is filled with valuable natural resources just waiting to be utilized.
You will not be restricted by some rules of Earth, you can finally make the nature work
for you without any laws to be kept in mind.
Exploit the planet in any way you like.
Here are no coral reefs, sea turtles no orangutans protected by treaties, all those animals and
plants are unimportant.
They live to serve you and your factory.
Here you will find about 30 square kilometers of terrain filled with unique flora and fauna.
Make factories out of them.
Build metal constructions instead of ugly nature, cover whole surface of the planet
with your elegant conveyor belts and train tracks!
Be a true hero of industrial era.
Play alone or co-op with friends and travel through your world of factories using variety
of vehicles, from jump pads, factory carts, hypertubes to trucks or even trains.
The freedom this game gives you is incredible, I'm totally recommending this one to you.
Paralives
This is an upcoming doll house life simulation.
Yeah, you heard it right, doll house, but don't skip this one yet if you're a man.
I believe you are manly enough to watch this one unfold, so you could tell about it to
your sister, girlfriend or wife.
Or... you know, you can try it by yourself, just for the sheer curiosity.
Yeah, curiosity.
You're still a man if you play such games.
Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
So in Paralives, you are free to build homes, create characters and manage their lives inside
their homes and all around an open world town.
The game features innovative build tools that are easy to use but they are also powerful
enough for advanced builders.
The sandbox mode allows players to explore a city full of events, people to meet and
ways to make their characters evolve and live a happy life.
So, basically this is Sims, but different.
And like in any similar game, here you can play as a serious home designer.
Paralives is a very powerful tool for creating your cozy space and some of the ideas you
can even carry to the real world and make your own house look better.
Subnautica: Below Zero
A sequel to a one of the most popular games in the world, Below Zero is an underwater
adventure game set on an alien ocean world where you can dive into a freezing underwater
adventure.
Here you as a scientist posted to a research station on the planet's surface, you are tasked
with studying alien artifacts...
The Vesper space station orbits high above you, sending supplies, instructions, and receiving
samples you launch from the surface.
When disaster strikes the research station, you must improvise to survive: construct habitats,
scavenge for resources, hunt for food, craft equipment, explore snow covered peaks, venture
into dangerous icy caves and discover new lifeforms in the chilly depths.
Well, basically your main goal is to Stay alive.
Yeah.
Take care of that and everything else will be just fun and games.
Among Trees
This is your little wood house.
Located in the heart of a lush forest, the cabin is expandable: you can build new rooms
and unlock additional game mechanics, including food cooking, plant growing, and tool crafting.
Explore a colorful, breathing world that is filled to the brim with life.
There is nothing much to show you except this 50 second trailer from 2018, but I’ve managed
to find some additional info in the creators website, where you can see showcase of an
actual gameplay.
Game is about crafting and surviving, so stay safe as you explore, but do what you need
to do: scavenge for food, catch fish, chop down trees and build new stuff and equipment.
And also stay stealthy so that you can avoid the wild, deadly beasts that roam the forest.
Stay warm during ice cold blizzards – and who knows what other dangers the night brings.
The Video Game Machine
Here you can make, play, and share unique video games that you've made yourself!
The Video Game Machine is a sandbox that removes the tricky parts of development and leaves
only the fun, putting the power of creativity in your hands.
You can choose from a massive selection of heroes, enemies and special items.
In game editor, you can customize your levels with unique terrain and interesting landmarks.
Build worlds, place enemies, hide items, write dialogue, and set rules to personalize the
gameplay details.
Although game is available to play in alfa I found the lack of video material kinda disturbing.
I've managed to find only this lonely video released almost a year ago, and it is not
impressive at all.
Something’s fishy about this.
Although screenshots they provide are way more optimistic.
I have no idea what to believe now, I guess we have to wait for developers to release
official gameplay video or something.
Eco
This is a fully simulated ecosystem bustling with thousands of growing plants and animals
living their lives.
Build, harvest, and take resources from an environment where your every action affects
the world around you.
An imminent asteroid strike threatens global destruction.
Can you save the world without destroying it in the process?
Construct buildings and towns, tend to your farm, hunt wildlife, build infrastructure
and transportation, craft clothing, build power plants, and research new technologies.
Also you can specialize in a craft and trade your goods to other players.
Develop your civilization and sculpt your planet, but try to balance everything.
Because you know, if you make another Satisfactory out here, the poor asteroid will lack things
to kill.
Imagine how it would feel after flying in the empty space for millions of years, hearing
stories about the great asteroid who killed all the dinosaurs, plotting to be even more
devastating, to cause even more extinction, and after you finally arrive at your impact
point you’ll see that everything is already extinct and your impact will do no actual
damage.
That is a huge bummer and biggest fear of any asteroid, please if you don’t care about
the nature, think about him.
Think about the asteroid and his feelings.
Raft
Trapped on a small raft with nothing but a hook made of old plastic, you awake on a vast,
blue ocean totally alone and with no land in sight!
With a dry throat and an empty stomach, survival will not be easy!
Game reminded me of a book named The Ocean Waifs by Thomas Mayne Reid written in 1869,
where few survivors spent about two months on a raft in a middle of the ocean.
One of the favorite books of my childhood, have you read it?
Of course setting here is kinda relaxing - it is a fun game where you alone or
with friends are thrown into an epic adventure out on the big open sea, with the objective
to stay alive, gather resources and build yourself a floating home worthy of survival.
Expand your floating wreckage to a buoyant mansion, research and craft new things, sail
towards new places and dive deep into the depths for more resources.
Minecraft Earth
I don’t usually cover any mobile games, but I’ll make an exception this time, because
by looking at the gameplay I just want to say - the future is now!
Here you will discover a new dimension of Minecraft as you create, explore, and survive
in the real world.
Join a community of builders and explorers spanning the planet, collect resources for
your builds, craft in augmented reality and then place them at life-size.
Collaborate with other builders and create communal masterpieces together, explore a
whole new side to your local neighborhood, and watch it evolve over time.
So, again, you can go and build a giant dick on your friends lawn just to make fun of him.
Leave your creation in front of his door and wait for the reaction.
It will be a real surprise when he finally discovers your secret dick.
You realize how this sounds?
Oh, oooh, I can hear it now, yep, mhm.
Kerbal Space Program 2
With the original Kerbal Space Program having become one of the most beloved games of all
time, second part has been fully redesigned from the ground up to meet the demands of
modern and next-generation space exploration, all while maintaining the monumental foundations
of the first game.
Build a space program, construct powerful spacecraft, design resource-gathering colonies,
and much more to uncover the secrets of the galaxy.
A plethora of exciting new features will captivate veteran and returning players, and of course
- new wave of Kerbonauts to the ingenious and comedic world that has entertained millions
of players.
Actually this gameplay footage is looking really cool when comparing with game one.
That’s it, main list is over, but you can also check on Medieval Dynasty, where you
will live your medieval life, Dysmantle, where you can dysmantle almost everything you see
and Population Zero - sandbox MMO with amazing environments, possibility to build your base
and so on.
Game will be released in 2021.
Aaaand now it’s the time for you to press like or even subscribe to my channel, so you
