WWGDB - 7 Best Games That Aren't Minecraft Where You Can Build Whatever You Want

Games are great for destroying things. After all, breaking stuff dishes out a cathartic feeling and in a way, relieves stress. Although most games are all about breaking things and mindless destruction, there are countless games about creating things. May it be large fortresses or complete and immersive worlds and experiences, there are many games that enable you to make products of your imagination into reality.

Although Minecraft is a perfect game to get this done, not a lot of people are fond of its presentation elements. So, if you’re looking for a different experience, here are some games you’d want to try out:

Conan Exiles

Conan Exiles is a game set in the lore-rich world of Conan the Barbarian. Though you won’t get to explore Hyboria, you’ll test your mettle and try to survive in the hostile Exiled Lands. It’s standard survival-sandbox thoroughfare. You’ll gather resources, build structures, and strengthen your character while fighting off monsters and other exiles who want to rob, kill, and even eat you.

Although it’s a great game with a robust multiplayer experience, it’s only for people who can commit dozens of hours into it. It has numerous crafting mechanics, rich lore, and many things to consider. If you’re playing in a PvP server, you’ll have to defend your base from other players. That aside though, it has a robust selection of building materials and pieces that you can use to form giant fortresses, sky castles, and uniquely-shaped bases.

Dreams

Dreams is a PlayStation 4 exclusive, made by the makers of LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway. This a more game and art-focused creation platform. Here, you can create actual worlds and pieces of art. The game focuses on exploration and creation of places where people can explore. So far, there are actual paradises, queer worlds, and replicas of art and things in other games like Kratos’ ax.

No Man’s Sky

No Man’s Sky’s release was hounded by a plethora of issues. It was a flawed and bareboned experience, but it has improved leaps and bounds in three years. Primarily, it’s a space exploration game where you go around numerous solar systems and unlock certain secrets. Today you can create large planetary bases, may it be a humble homestead or a large station. With that in mind, it’s a must to look for lush paradise planets or moons and set your own place there.

Terraria

In a nutshell, Terraria is a Minecraft in 2D. Available across all platforms, it’s a game where you can build 2D buildings and underground caverns. Though a large part of it involves building, it’s mostly about defeating monsters, strengthening your gear, and of course, exploration. Despite being 2D, it has a large world and to unlock all that it has to offer, you’ll likely have to dedicate dozens of hours.

Fortnite: Creative Mode

Fortnite is undoubtedly still the king of battle royale and even so, it’s still continuously improving. One of its additions is Creative Mode where you’ll be treated to your very own island. Here, you can create anything you want using pieces that are on the battle royale island. You can create futuristic cities, your own jungle, theme park, or even a spooky castle. In addition, you can also create your very own game which you can show to and share with your friends.

Ark: Survival Evolved

Ark: Survival Evolved a flawed yet widely played and loved game. It’s essentially a survival and building game much like Conan Exiles and Rust, but with a huge twist: dinosaurs. Yes, you can tame dinosaurs, ride them, and use them as guards. Apart from the dinosaurs, you can also build large structures and anything you want. Just be sure that it’s strong enough to repel the gargantuan reptiles.

Cities: Skylines

Last on our list is Paradox’s outstanding city builder, Cities: Skylines. You can build modern cities on a number of preset locations. You’ll manage its economy, zone areas appropriately, and try to make your citizens happy by fulfilling their needs. Though what you build isn’t fully customizable, you have free reign to make the city of your dreams and even replicate your local one.

Sure, there is fun in destroying things in video games, but it’s incredibly fulfilling to stand in awe after seeing one of your creations. It’s a surreal feeling especially after hearing other people’s praises and compliments. In any case, give these games a shot and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
