Creativerse vs Growtopia
Creativerse
Creativerse is a voxel-based, sandbox MMO game that's still relatively new on the internet. Available on Steam, the game may seem to be a Minecraft clone at first glance, but we assure you - it's most definitely not a clone despite retaining most of the core game concepts that had made Minecraft so popular.So, basically, you'll be mining for blocks out in the world and craft them into weapons, structures, tools (including mechanical wings that will allow you to fly) and the like at the respective crafting tables. Of course, there's also the not-so-minor detail of surviving to the next day unharmed and well-fed, which mainly involves you building up your own shelter and gathering foodstuff.
Unlike Minecraft though, Creativerse is more of an MMO since it has an interesting storyline, providing players with a sense of direction that isn't obviously present in Minecraft. You'll also have access to more convenience items such as the touchstone which will teleport you to a single pre-linked spawning location... and yes, the location can be set at your shelter as well.
So, if all of these sound great to you, well, be sure to download Creativerse on Steam now and check out the game. It's admittedly no Minecraft, but some may go as far out as to say that Creativerse is so much better.
Growtopia
Growtopia is a unique type of 2D sandbox game due to its incredibly social nature, as well as its special seed-splicing system that allows its players to discover new types of blocks and items. In this game, players can harvest the blocks they need by punching their surroundings, be it the ground below their avatar's feet or the tree that someone planted in a public world, and then use these blocks to create almost anything they like! There are tons of worlds in this game that you can visit and you can create new ones whenever want.That said, one of the two more interesting parts about this game though is the players' ability to obtain seeds of various types of blocks like stone, dirt and others - it sounds ridiculous, but bear with me for a minute here - and splice these seeds to get other, rarer types of blocks and items. The other part being the ability to set up player stalls. Players can actually sell off the stuff they have spliced in stalls they have set up and use the game's chat system to broadcast their wares.
Growtopia may feel like just another "Minecraft-like" sandbox game albeit in a 2D form, but once you play it, you'll quickly realize how social the game is. Of course, let's not forget about its one-of-a-kind splicing system as well. This is definitely a very unique sandbox game that you'd be missing out if you have not at least tried it.
