With amazing titles available, the PS4 definitely has a great library of sandbox games.
So, if you’re a fan of both the PS4 and sandbox games, there’s a chance you’ll like this list.
And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. Birthdays the Beginning
- Release Data: Arc System Works, 2017
- Genre: Action Adventure » Sandbox
Birthdays the Beginning is not an action game or even much of a strategy game.
It has some fun elements to it that allow players to create and relax.
Finding all the life forms is a fun endeavor, and people who enjoy games like Viva Piñata and Minecraft will have a lot of fun with it.
#4. Don’t Starve: Console Edition
- Release Data: Klei Entertainment, 2014
- Genre: Action Adventure » Sandbox
Don’t Starve: Console Edition is a wonderfully dark survival-craft game with great scope for emergent, unique experiences, even if it will make you rage occasionally.
There are those who will find Don’t Starve just too mean-spirited to fully appreciate, but as an intentionally unforgiving survival sim with a sinister twist, it absolutely excels.
#3. Dragon Quest Builders
- Release Data: Square Enix, 2016
- Genre: Action Adventure » Sandbox
Dragon Quest Builders is totally, thoroughly engaging.
Its gameplay is accessible to kids while its dialogue offers enough sly references to keep mature gamers amused.
Collecting, crafting, and building all sounds familiar, but this package encapsulates so much of the best parts of this creative process and wraps it in light role-playing progression and storytelling.
#2. Dragon Quest Builders 2
- Release Data: Omega Force/Square Enix, 2019
- Genre: Action Adventure » Sandbox
Dragon Quest Builders 2 does a lot of things better than its predecessor.
A better story is propped up by better characters, and even though the opening hours are slow, there’s a better overall flow to the game.
All in all, Square Enix has constructed a rock solid sequel that should satisfy both returning players and newcomers alike.
#1. Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition
- Release Data: 4J Studios/Mojang AB, 2014
- Genre: Action Adventure » Sandbox
Even without the ability to install mods and play on infinite worlds propped up by dedicated servers, Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition is still a strong addition to your library.
Granted, the title’s not to everyone’s tastes, but there’s a reason that it’s dug a path into the hearts of millions of players since its initial release in 2011.
