Roblox vs Ylands
Roblox
Roblox is a kid-friendly, voxel-based, 3D sandbox game or platform where players can unleash their creativity and imagination by creating their own games or virtual worlds brick by brick and share them with the Roblox community. Or, they can just hop into the many games created by other Robloxians, be it a racing game, a tycoon game or even a reworked version of their favorite games like Pokemon and Mario. The game is very supportive of its creators, giving them not only the tools (which are constantly updated) that they need but also the guides and tutorials on how to use these tools. Creators are even allowed to monetize their games by adding in in-game purchases. Not a game developer yourself? Well, you can also design and create outfits and usable, interactive items to sell on Roblox's items marketplace! Roblox has always been likened to a free-to-play version of Minecraft, but it's obvious today that the game has become so much more. If you get the chance, we'd highly recommend you to give it a try!
Ylands
Ylands is a sandbox adventure game that has a gameplay that's a lot like a massively expanded version of Minecraft with a lot more resources for you to gather, items to craft, and amazing things to build. Instead of being "just a game", Ylands is more like a platform, much like Roblox is, where players are given the tools to create whatever worlds or games they like, be it a fun go-kart racing game that's inspired from Lega Racers or even a watery world where epic pirate-themed naval battles can take place. The worlds are completely interactive as well and every action you do will modify, no matter how slightly, the game environment of that segment of the world you happen to be in. In fact, if you change a terrain and populate it with an entirely different diversity of flora and fauna, you can basically change the climate system there.Unlike Minecraft though, Ylands has opted for a more polygonal appearance which gave it the extra leverage it needed to overcome the painful dismissal and degratory label of being simply a "Minecraft clone" - which admittedly, Ylands is most definitely not. The game has so much going for it and players truly have all the freedom within the game's pretty wide parameters to literally create anything they like. Of course, the game also supports sharing, so you can let other players in Yland enjoy that (for example) crazy maze-running game you've just made!
Ylands is most certainly impressive to say the least. However, due to its indie origins, not many players know about the game, let alone buy it on Steam. So, if you really like Minecraft-like sandbox games, you simply must give this game a try, and if you've had a great time there, be sure to recommend it to your friends or even buy it for them as their Christmas/ birthday gift!
