SimCity

Calm and deliberate

Will Wright's genre-founding city builder: you lay out zones, roads and power and watch your city thrive or struggle with budgets, crime and disasters. An open-ended sandbox with no fixed goals that launched a whole genre.

Calm and deliberate

Tilt Brush

Accessible and relaxed

WorldBox

Accessible and relaxed

A pixel-art god sandbox where you shape worlds, watch civilizations rise, and intervene with miracles or disasters. The appeal is the emergent chaos as kingdoms form, wage wars, and collapse.

Chunky Orbits

Accessible and relaxed

A relaxed gravity sandbox where you toss boulders into space and watch them pull on each other and orbit. There are no goals, just experimenting and wonder.

Mindshow

Accessible and relaxed

Shapez

Calm and deliberate

Calm and deliberate

Equilinox

Accessible and relaxed
