LEGO Worlds vs Salem
LEGO Worlds
LEGO Worlds allows you to build anything you want, anyway you want with any character you want. It really is that simple, this amazing game lets you make your own world. There are lots of different characters for you to use, vehicles for you to move around in and a huge range of pre made items you can create with. If you want there is a brick by brick editor that means you can make anything, the only limit is your imagination.Build in real time with your friends, or just make your own wonderful little world. As you expand you can find “studs” which you can spend on new things to build with, or new bricks to play with. With all the fun of lego at your fingertips you can make anything, from a dinosaur to a space shuttle the world is yours to make and shape.
Salem
Salem is an old-school and somewhat obscure (but fun) sandbox MMORPG that unlike Wurm Online has a stronger emphasis on its in-depth crafting system and survival aspect rather than building.Similar to Wurm Online though, Salem is not a voxel-based game, but you are still able to mold the game environment through resource gathering, mining and digging in a way that reminds me of the currently-shelved MMORPG, EverQuest Next: Landmark. Of course, although not exactly the focus of the game, you can still build your homestead and the process is quite similar to Wurm Online except that it occurs at a much higher speed.
Not to mention, the game world in Salem is simply humongous to the point where it feels like an actual world. Salem also borrowed some features from ArcheAge where open-world PvP is the norm, so you'll need to be vigilant at all times, but players who kill and steal for no reason will be labelled as criminals and can be punished.
However, as good as it is despite being an indie MMO and all, Salem does have its fair share of flaws due to its low development budget. So, we'd recommend you to take a look at Salem without carrying along any high expectations. It's a pretty good MMORPG like Minecraft, but if you're expecting a Minecraft clone, you may end up disappointing yourself.
