Archeage vs Ylands
Archeage
Archeage is one of the world's most innovative and outstanding, fantasy-themed sandbox MMORPG that's set in the vast gorgeous world of Auroria. Unlike many other similar games, Archeage offers a lot of freedom and variety to its players to create the characters that they want - 21 different vocations are definitely more than enough. The game is not merely an MMO where you simply complete quests, run dungeons and fight in PvP arenas; Instead, you will even get to enjoy a slew of other fun activities like sailing, gliding, composing music or home building and decorating. Let's not forget the game's amazing justice system where players who have broken game rules, such as killing other players without provocation, will be placed in front of a panel of juries - also chosen from the player population to face judgment.Despite facing intense competition from recent MMOs like Skyforge or Revelation Online, Archeage is still going pretty strong, mainly because of its loyal playerbase and partly because the game's just wonderful to play. If you have not tried this game before and you are a fan of MMO, you owe it to yourself to at least give this special game a go. Sign up today!
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!
