Sandbox is a loose term used to describe the open world video games. In a typical sandbox RPG, players can move freely through a virtual world and are given particular freedom in regard to objective approach - unlike in other RPG games with more linear structure. A sandbox RPG usually lacks the invisible walls and/or loading screens (a common trait of linear level designs) but still has some restrictions in the game environment. Games with a particularly high level of autonomy are typically MMORPGs (e.g. World of Warcraft) and sometimes also classic single-player RPGs (like the Fallout series). The most appealing trait of typical open world games is that they try to simulate reality and allow players to develop many aspects of their gameplay (e.g. character, world, questline, etc.). It should also be noted that sandbox games don’t have a specific goal or pre-defined ending. The best, most popular sandbox games include Watch Dogs, Final Fantasy XV, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto V, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and of course Minecraft.

Well, there is one particular title that contributed more than the most to this aspect of video game mechanics. What game are we talking about? Take a wild guess. Gothic is an action RPG franchise, developed and owned by German studio called Piranha Bytes. However, the latest installment in the spin-off series was developed by Spellbound Entertainment. The Gothic games’ setting is a medieval fantasy world, in which humans are losing the war against the orcish armies. The protagonist, a young nameless man, is forced to work his way up, from being a convict in the penal colony to saving the world from the ancient evil. In order to continue the fight against the countless orcs, demons and the undead, our protagonist has to gather much-needed experience, form alliances, and develop into a real hero of Myrtana. The franchise consists of three main games, two large expansions, and an official spinoff, Arcania. This spinoff, Arcania is set in the same universe and shares many aspects with the original Gothic series. Gothic games were extremely successful and, in many ways, groundbreaking. You should definitely give them a chance!The Watch Dogs franchise revolves around two main video games, created and published by Ubisoft. It also encompasses a novelization and few comic books. Both games are a unique mix of genres, combining action-adventure and third-person shooter with open-world RPG. The first game, Watch Dogs, was released in late 2014 on multiple platforms (but was popular mostly on PlayStation, XBox, and PC). Both games are open-world (Watch Dogs is set in Chicago, Illinois and Watch Dogs 2 in San Francisco Bay Area) and both follow a story of a gifted hacker (in WD it’s Aiden Pearce and in WD2, Marcus Holloway). Players can freely roam both cities in a third-person perspective and use the protagonists’ skills to hack into various systems and devices. An online multiplayer mode is also provided in the game, allowing up to eight players to engage in both cooperative and competitive gameplay in a recreation of the single-player setting. Both of the Watch Dogs games were a massive hit. The first installment sold over 12 million copies and its sequel even more. Open world, movie-like plot and a lot of action. Watch Dogs games can be a great experience for any gamer. Get your own copy at Games Republic.Hide
