Cube World vs Kenshi
Cube World
Cube World is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG that follows the same realm of thinking as Trove did. The game features an open world filled with plenty of new locations and hidden areas for you to discover wiht strategically-placed portals to hlep you get to different lands at a much more rapid pace. There are even dungeons you can conquer and dungeon bosses that you can defeat to get that sweet, sweet loot. For gear upgrades, you'll need platinum coins which can be earned by doing daily missions. As you venture across the world, you'll also get to use and hone your adventure skills, including but not limited to climbing, sailing, hand-gliding and more.Cube World has so much potential to be Trove's main rival but unfortunately, the game has apparently faded out once again to obscurity due to lack of updates. However, if you are interested to give the game a try, you can still play the game with the small group of loyal fans who are still sticking around in the game.
Kenshi
Kenshi is an open world, semi-sandbox, party-based RPG that offers players an completely open-ended gameplay rather than opting to force players to go through a storyline. You can be anyone you like in this game, be it an honest trader, an adventurer, a bandit or others. Scavenge important resources, including weapons and armor, from corpses and use them for your own. Recruit new companions from towns, build an outpost of your own, and grow it to accomodate more of your companions. Of course, as your little town thrives, bandits and jealous rivals will attack you and you'll need to make sure all your people have what they need to defend the town and repel the invaders.Sounds like fun? Well, it definitely is. However, Kenshi, being a pretty ambitious early access game, does have it fair share of flaws. The game still has plenty of glitches still and can be really hard to get into, especially at the beginning of the game where you literally have no idea what you need to do.
That said, the game is very unique because it has a pretty rare theme and its gameplay - a combination of party-based survival/ base building - is also oddly rare among the other games on the market. So, you might want to check this game out.
