Portal Knights vs Ylands
Portal Knights
Portal Knights brings an epic 3D sandbox adventure to your screens with a huge variety of game maps and portals to travel through. You can choose your character from three classes: warrior, mage and ranger. The game brings an open world map where you are free to let your imaginations run wild. Explore the worlds, craft items and build anything you can imagine. You also get to explore beautiful biomes, most of which hides secrets that you can try to find, as you hop from world to world. The game even features a multiplayer mode with up to four players playing co-op or two players in a split screen game as you all try to build your very own world from scratch.Portal Knights features amazing animated graphics and a really addicting RPG play. If you are a fan of sandbox adventures like Minecraft, this is the perfect pick for you.
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!
