Palworld

Sandbox with your own goals

Palworld mashes creature collecting together with survival crafting and base building. Captured Pals fight beside you, carry you across the islands or toil away in your factory while you explore an open world armed with guns. Its cheeky, slightly macabre humor gives the whole thing a flavor of its own.

No Man's Sky

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.

Unturned

Sandbox with your own goals

A free-to-play zombie survival sandbox with blocky low-poly visuals where you scavenge, craft and build bases across large maps, teaming up with or betraying other players. A huge modding and workshop scene keeps it endlessly replayable.

Rust

Sandbox with your own goals

7 Days to Die

Resources and survival

A zombie survival sandbox built on crafting, looting, base building and skill progression, where every seventh night a massive horde tests your fortifications. Played solo or in co-op, it blends first-person shooting with tower-defense tension.
