The Forest

If horror is your favorite theme, then we suggest diving into The Forest. It’s a first person open world survival game for starters. Players must survive in this huge, dense forest after a plane crash and features great sandbox elements. There are no set objectives or missions, and the choice for progression lies entirely with you. You’ll scrounge and scavenge tools and of course, avoid or fight the creepy monsters that are out for blood. Gameplay wise, it runs excellent and has excellent graphics to boot. The best part is definitely the co-op mode that adds the multiplayer feel that truly makes this MMO worth checking out.

ARK: Survival Evolved

One of Steam’s most popular games in recent times, ARK is the quintessential survival game. he game puts you (naked) on a dinosaur inhabitied island either alone or with friends. Your job is then to survive. Sounds simple eh? Not quite, and what you’ll be doing on this island on the long run either with friends, tribemates or solo is the fun part. By just playing, you earn XP which is then used to craft gear and weapons. You also have the freedom to build bases and of course, tame the dinosaurs! Studio Wildcard – the developers – have added so much content over the last couple of years. There’s two expansions now, and the game just keeps growing. It is buy to play on Steam, and we do recommend this as a good alternative sandbox survival MMO.

Minecraft

If you can dream it, you can build it. That’s been the mantra for Minecraft since its inception. Minecraft is Google of sandbox worlds – a franchise that million of players enjoy daily, creating worlds that are both original, to things like Lord of the Ring’s Mines of Moria. The game lets players build anything with pixel blocks, and the RPG elements are what players make of it either solo or in a group. Thousands of Minecraft servers have emerged both official and non-official to offer you anything under the sun. It’s also everywhere, so you can pretty much play this on your PC or Nintendo Switch.

Conan Exiles

If fantasy is your thing and you like Conan, then Conan Exiles is the sandbox survival game for you. First hitting early access in early 2017, it has now launched globally and have become Funcom’s best selling game ever. Why is it so popular? Well, you create a Conan-ish character (with nudity if you so wish) and then explore the world solo or with your tribe. You pray to gods. Gather resources. Build incredible bases and battle it out with rival tribes. What’s not to like? With fresh DLC packs offering more choices for gear and mechanics, it’s also a great game to play casually and enjoy the Conan World. Check out our review for Conan Exiles here.

No Man’s Sky

Remember a time when No Man’s Sky use to be the punch line of a joke? Those days are all but gone. No Man’s Sky has a series of fresh and free updates that has appeared to turn the game around for the better, with many flocking back to the game they once found a “rip off”. Features like multiplayer are now live in this sandbox interstellar game where players travel to procedural random generated planets to harvest resources, upgrade ships and document wildlife. It’s an incredibly unique game and setting with great graphics and presently, fresh gameplay mechanics that keeps players interested and eager to explore the next planet. And the next.

The post Top 5: Best Sandbox Survival Games of 2018 appeared first on Mmos World.

First of all, let me explain what Roblox is. Roblox is a browser-based game creating and publicizing platform. Anyone can make a free account, download a small light software and start creating and playing games on the platform.

What is Roblox?

I spent some time with Roblox and I wanted to share my experience. The first thing you notice is that Roblox is made super accessible. Registration is really fast and you don’t even have to provide an e-mail address. As soon as you register you are presented with a list of games you can click and play. The first game you play will have you download the Roblox client. After that it’s simply click and play. This kind of browser-based games platform is not new and I remember spending a lot of time in my former years on sites like newgrounds, kongregate and miniclip. Having said that, Roblox actually offers something new. All of the games on Roblox are in a 3D engine and they also offer a game creation tool. And on top of that they also offer cross-platform gameplay.

These kind of platforms are a paradise for children and Roblox is no different. Roblox offers a ton of games for free, in your browser, all just a click and a few seconds of loading from playing. I can guarantee you that if this platform existed when I was a kid I would be on it nonstop. The developers of these games seem to be well aware of this and as such, most of the games are aimed towards a younger audience. Even though the games are aimed at children, some of them are decently enjoyable for adults and children alike.

The Games

As I mentioned, most of the games are aimed at children. The most popular games on the platform are shooters, tycoon light management games, and “mining simulators” similar to minecraft but with the craft part stripped away.

Shooters

For shooters you get a choice of battle royale clones and more traditional shooters clones. One of the most popular games on the platform is Island Royale, a battle royale very reminiscent of Fortnite. Another popular game is Phantom Forces, a first person shooter highly influenced by CS GO. I spent a brief time with both of these games and for what they are, they are pretty good. Now if you can you should probably just go and play the originals. But for children, the fact you can play these games from your browser for free with basically no registration makes all the difference.

Tycoon Management

Tycoon management games are very popular on the platform. I played Pizza Factory Tycoon. In this game you manage a pizza shop. You slowly get passive income just by building pizza makers. And in addition to this passive income you also need to server customers asking for different pizzas and milkshakes. The money you earn is used to make your pizza place bigger and to purchase cosmetic outfits and toys. In my short time playing this game the gameplay never got too hectic and it is a pretty relaxed experience overall.

Mining Simulators

Mining simulators are these simple mine, sell, upgrade, treadmills. The most popular of these is Mining Simulator. In it you delve into a mine, mine some blocks until your backpack is full. You then return to the surface, sell your collected materials. And use the money you earn to buy bigger backpacks and better mining tools. The gameplay loop is pretty simple but I have to admit it’s also pretty satisfying and relaxing. Out of all the games I played at Roblox, this one was my favorite. It’s hard to explain but there is something very relaxing in going into a mine and chipping away at blocks.

Others

Other than shooters, tycoon, and mining simulators, the platform is also home to many different games with varying genres. One of the most popular games is MeepCity. MeepCity is a virtual social place with no real objectives. You get money passively every now and then and you can use that money to upgrade and design your house. I also played a game called Museum Jailbrek. In this game you play as either a prisoner or a cop. Trying to escape the place as a prisoner and trying to keep prisoners in check as cop. Another game I checked out was Dragon Ball Z Final Stand. A DBZ RPG in which you complete quests and level up as a custom Dragon Ball fighter.

A Word of Warning

Every game I played so far on Roblox shoves micro transactions in your face the second you launch it. And I do mean it, every single game has a popup the moment you launch it, offering you some sort of real money cosmetics or upgrades. I fully understand that making a game is not cheap and the developer has to make some money to keep doing it. But the micro transactions in these games are a bit too much. All of them constantly offer you to buy real money items and services. And some of the games even go so far as to make it difficult to distinguish between the in-game currency and real money transactions. I would highly suggest that if you give your child a way to pay, you keep a close attention on how much he’s spending.

Roblox Studio

The game creation tool called Roblox Studio is extensive and is not made for the simple man. Clicking the create button will launch Roblox Studio and you can very quickly start creating a game if you know how to use it. Roblox offers tutorials on their studio, but even if you go through all of them, you still need to know how to code at least on some level. The Studio is not made for an average joe. I poked around in it for a little while and managed to get a few objects but anything more than that requires learning and coding knowledge.

Now if you do know what you’re doing, it seems the studio offers great options to create your game. I only say this because of the variety and features I saw while playing the live games. I can’t really tell you if the studio is good compared to other game making tools out there. This is something you will have to check out and decide for yourself as a developer. The only thing I can say for certain is that it’s made for developers.

Conclusions

Roblox is a great platform with a great future ahead of it. The combination of fast free on demand 3D browser-based games, and the ability to play cross-platform, Make Roblox a paradise for children. Launching into a game is fast and easy and you can start playing immediately. Although the games are filled with micro transactions they can still be played completely free and are pretty good for what they are. The platform already has a vast catalog of games and I imagine more are added every day. Overall, the platform is great, it is very easy to use and offers a great number of games. The only major issue is the egregious micro transactions use. Other than that I can recommend it to any one looking to play some simple games.
