Sandbox games live and die by how much stuff you can do. They can be lean or expansive, massive or tight, but each must offer multiple approaches to the open word and its challenges. Games like Roadcraft and State of Decay manage this well, though they represent opposite ends of the sandbox spectrum. A vehicle-based survival game called The Front just got a huge update, which allows players to customize vehicles, opening up almost endless possibilities.
