Sandbox games always had a certain charm to them no other game could capture. It could be either the limitless amount of possibilities or just the stress-free environment where nobody is pressuring you to pursue certain goals. And these are just the things we're looking for when it comes to the best games to play during isolation, a good old sandbox title! So if you were looking for the best sandbox games to play during isolation you came to the right place. Let's take a look at the most relaxing and the most content-packed sandbox games available!

Sandbox games to play during isolation can take you out of this world

What is the best way to forget about being in isolation? To leave the planet altogether and join the sandbox world, of course! Unfortunately, the Virgin Galactic program still isn't widely available, so we're recommending the next best thing - Kerbal Space Program.

In Kerbal Space Program you build spaceships, rockets, and vehicles using any combination of parts you can imagine. Then you send them into space, either in orbit of some other planet, or trying to land on it and explore it. But more likely, crash into it. But that's where the fun comes from.

But what makes Kerbal Space Program one of the best sandbox games to play during isolation is its amount of content. As mentioned before, you can make anything you can imagine. And I mean anything. Although, whether it's going to fly or not is a whole other deal. Granted, the challenging physics might not relax you. Especially while waiting to see if the rocket you just launched will make it into the orbit or crash into the Mun. But I guarantee it will make you want to try over and over again until you perfect your design and make it to the furthest reaches of the solar system.

Create your own non-isolated community

Is there a better type of a sandbox game than the one that lets you create your very own city? Of course not. That's why, when it comes to the best games to play during isolation, we recommend you pick up Cities: Skylines. It offers a unique opportunity to build up your city from a small town to a major metropolis.

You can do anything from passing zoning laws to dealing with how the garbage is disposed of. Just be careful about how you plan things, because what you might consider insignificant in the beginning might come back later to nip you in the bum. Furthermore, it features an extremely realistic traffic situation that some real cities have been known to use in city planning. If that doesn't make it appealing to the fans of city builders, I don't know what will.

But what if you prefer a different type of management? For example, something like a dictatorship. And given the time you spend inside you're probably lacking sunlight exposure. Gotta get that vitamin D, am I right? Well, in that case, we have a game that combines both of those needs. There is no better way to spend your time than to rule your own tropical island in Tropico!

Take up a role of El Presidente, a supreme leader of a small tropical nation. Under your leadership, this tiny island nation can become world leader in any industry you want. From tourism, farming, and even weapon manufacturing, nothing is out of your reach. Disclaimer: 2game does not take responsibility for any assassination attempts that might occur.

Engineers don't rest, they find sandbox games to play during isolation

For those of you that are technologically inclined, we figured it would be best to find you some sandbox games to play in isolation before you start to disassembling your computer, fridge, or any other piece of technology you can get your hands on. The great thing is, we have two amazing games ready.

Those of you who prefer high-tech settings and a bit of space exploration in your sandbox game should try out Space Engineers. That is, if you don't find the impending danger of being sucked out into the vacuum of space terrifying. This game is an engineer's dream. You can build whatever you want, from space stations to crafts that will get you on a meteorite. And great news for those of you who love to dab in software engineering. Space Engineers features fully scriptable missions and game modes which you can share and experience with others in online play. Not to mention writing programming blocks that will be executed in the game.

But if you prefer to stay on solid ground rather than float around like Sandra Bullock, we have another option. Medieval Engineers features all the same possibilities like its space counterpart, except it focuses on architectural works and mechanical equipment of medieval period. You know what that means, right? Trebuchets all around.

However, if you find yourself unable to decide between the two engineering options, we have a solution. That is, our Medieval Engineers and Space Engineers bundle! You can grab both games at once and play to your heart's content.
