Lol. Minecraft is definitely an open-world sandbox game.

My top three are:
3. Minecraft
2. Fallout 3
1. Just Cause 2

Also, I think GTA and RDR fail pretty hard as open-world sandbox games. They Feel very linear compared to the games I mentioned.

If you didn't notice, Minecraft does not have side-missons or feature a pre-built sandbox environment like the other ones you've mentioned.

Its more of an LBP-style game but with a fully-featured sandbox environment. It isn't open-world.

Open world games with an abundance of side quests are not at all sandbox games. This is an appropriation of a term to describe completely different type of game.

The games mentioned in the poll are merely open world games, not sandbox games.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Infamous 2 and Scarface the World is Yours.

*edit*

I didn't think of Yakuza 4 because it's not traditional open world, but add that one too.
