Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Dense, handcrafted world

As CJ you return to Los Santos and fight your way across a huge state full of gang wars, corrupt cops and absurd side activities. Vehicles, shootouts, RPG-like stats and a legendary radio soundtrack make it one of the most expansive sandbox classics.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

Shooting and gunplay

As mob enforcer Toni Cipriani you work your way back up the Leone family in 1998 Liberty City, a compact GTA III prequel packed with open-city mayhem, driving, shootouts and the series' trademark satire.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Sandbox with your own goals

An explosive open-world shooter where you play a mercenary in a war-torn Venezuela, working for rival factions. You blow things up, hijack vehicles and profit from chaos, with heavy destruction and tongue-in-cheek humor.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Lots of humour

As Tommy Vercetti you rise from lackey to crime lord in a neon-soaked take on 1980s Miami, with sharp satire, a sprawling city to cause chaos in, and an iconic licensed radio soundtrack.

Just Cause 2

Sandbox with your own goals

A massive tropical island nation serves as a sandbox for over-the-top destruction: with grappling hook, parachute and countless vehicles, Rico Rodriguez blows his way through a dictatorship. The story is secondary to the gleeful chaos.

Grand Theft Auto III

Dense, handcrafted world

The landmark that took GTA into 3D: as a silent criminal you climb the underworld of grim Liberty City, stealing cars, running jobs for mob bosses and causing mayhem whenever you like. Satirical radio stations and the freedom of its open city made it the template for the entire sandbox genre.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Shooting and gunplay

As immigrant Niko Bellic, you chase the American dream through the gritty, living metropolis of Liberty City, only to sink deeper into crime and revenge. It tells a darker, more grounded story than earlier entries while keeping the series' sharp satire.

Far Cry 5

Open world

An open-world shooter set in rural Montana where you liberate Hope County from a fanatical doomsday cult, using companions, vehicles and improvisation. Chaotic sandbox action meets an unsettling, dark story, playable in full co-op.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Dense, handcrafted world

A top-down entry in the GTA series where you rise through Liberty City's Triad underworld, dealing drugs, stealing cars and shooting your way through a revenge plot. Touch-based minigames like hotwiring cars and a dense open-world sandbox set it apart.
