My own interpretation which should be the official definition.
Who defines "official" after all? Is there a game authority? To me a sandbox is not just open-world or free-roaming. An open-world or free-roaming with no effect on that open world, is not a sandbox. In that sense Far Cry is a sandbox game? In your edit, you contradict the "open world" yourself. Indeed a sandbox enabled game may limit your actual freedom or roaming somewhat, but DOES enable you to affect (your limited) environment. Open world does not automatically mean "do whatever you want". This is why I consider the terms related but not same. |

As for frontier, I spent months travelling the galaxymap with a fuelscoop, pushing the boundary of discovery. In the settled bubble, I pirated the crap of NPC's and felt true immersion back than, and freedom. For me that's definitely within sandbox realm.
I consider each game that allows me to build and/or blow things up, with a ruleset in place that couldn't care less and near infinite playability in a persistent world a sandbox game. Last edited by onkelarie; 01 November 2018 at 08:34. |

What we really need is another term, "sandbox-like", to make the whole question of definition easier.

PS I'd stick with the "sandbox" and changed nothing. Some flexibility and common sense should be applied thou. |
