Sandbox game

en.wikipedia.org · 6,037 words · saved by 1 readers

A sandbox game is a video game with a gameplay element that provides players a great degree of freedom to interact creatively, usually without any predetermined goal, or with a goal that the players set for themselves. Such games may mostly or totally lack any end goals, and are sometimes referred to as non-games or software toys. Very often, sandbox games result from these creative elements being incorporated into other genres and allowing for emergent gameplay. Sandbox games are often associated with an open world concept which gives the players freedom of movement and progression in the game's world. The game design term "sandbox" derives from the nature of a physical sandbox, which lets people create nearly anything they want within it.
