LEGO Worlds

Sandbox with your own goals

A LEGO sandbox of procedurally generated worlds where you build brick by brick, reshape entire landscapes and ride dragons or gorillas around. Relaxed creative play comes first rather than challenge, and it works well in co-op.

The Forest

Resources and survival

After a plane crash you build shelters and traps in a dense forest while tribes of cannibals stalk and attack you. Creepy mutant-filled caves and the mystery of your missing son drive the exploration, and it's best played with friends in co-op.

Salt

Resources and survival

A pirate survival adventure in an endless procedurally generated ocean, where you sail, explore islands, upgrade ships, hunt and craft. Freedom and discovery matter far more than any story.

Blockland

Sandbox with your own goals

Blockland is a sandbox where you play as a tiny brick minifigure and freely build structures, vehicles and entire worlds from toy-like bricks, best enjoyed with others on community servers and mods.

Block Story

Sandbox with your own goals

A block-based sandbox adventure where you reshape the landscape, build, explore dungeons and fight dragons. It blends Minecraft-style building with RPG progression.

Forager

Cosy, great for unwinding

Forager is a relaxed 2D gathering and crafting game where you grow a tiny island into a sprawling realm piece by piece. Constant unlocks of skills, lands, puzzles and dungeons make the harvest-and-expand loop wonderfully addictive.

Mindustry

Gameplay comes before story

Mindustry blends tower defense with factory building: you design conveyor networks and production chains to supply resources and ammo for defenses against enemy waves. It also offers a map editor, co-op and PvP.
