What is a "sandbox game"?
A sandbox game is a type of video game that allows players to freely explore and interact with the game world without being restricted to a set path or specific goals. The term "sandbox" comes from the idea of a child playing in a sandbox, where they can create and shape things as they wish. Sandbox games became popular in the 2000s with advancements in technology, which made large, open worlds possible. In these games, players can often build, destroy, and customize their environment while pursuing their own objectives or simply experimenting with the game’s mechanics.
