I like building games!! Any suggestions?

mgilbrtsn · December 2016

Currently, I have a classic type MMO in my kit (BDO) and I have a Moba (Overwatch), but I'm missing a building game in my queue. Anyone have any suggestions?

I like games like Minecraft and Trove, but looking for something other than those. Minecraft, I love, but want something new. Trove I like, but looking for something with a more persisent feel (I know you have your special island, but I'm talking about the larger world.)

looking at creativerse right now, but would love to hear the communities opinion.

Everquest Landmark ...kidding don't kill me.

Hmm how about those Sim stuff. Not sure if you can play those like an MMO . Like Age of Empires.

Creativerse is pretty good ....http://store.steampowered.com/app/280790/

as well as Portal Knights .. http://store.steampowered.com/app/374040/ combat is better in this one

Rising World is really good , and a more realistic feel to it ..http://store.steampowered.com/app/324080/

Planet Explorers is a great game .. And just went 1.0 ...http://store.steampowered.com/app/237870/

The Forest .. great atmosphere ... http://store.steampowered.com/app/242760/

Couple of these lean towards survival but still good building aspects .....

Novus Inceptio , is also coming alomg nicley as well as Astral Terra..

of acourse also 7Days to Die , is also a very good game and does have a just build mode , but it is restrictive in its atmosphere imo

Hope this helps

Overwatch is a team-based FPS, not a MOBA.

Have you played on an ARK server?

Another is Blockscape which took alot of heat last year as the developer quietly worked towards changing the direction and engine, But updates have picked up the last 4 months at a pretty good pace and the people playing it are happy , I personaly havent tried it yet , but it is on my list .. Watching for a Xmas sale ...http://store.steampowered.com/app/223490/

Terraria is a good game , But i think that Crea has out Terrariaed , Terraria ... As far as this type of building game goes Crea is far better than Terraia or Starbound imo , Much better combat , and the Class development skills ,combat is Far more interesting and cohisive, research skills , harvesting skills ,looks cleaner to, sets it apart from the others ... http://store.steampowered.com/app/280520/

Can build stuff in Archeage

Ark Survival Evolved. Start single player and survive in wilderness. Buy the Scorched version if you like Mad Max Survival.

do not play on official servers. its cancer there.

I played Ark on my own private server and built a nice base. I let my kids and their friends attack me on Saturdays. Was a lot of fun to see if I could build a base that could withstand their dino attacks.

You should google some pictures of crazy base designs from Ark to see all that is possible. Elevators, turrets, greenhouses, windows, furniture and tons of options.

Wurm Online

come on now.... come on! You know better than that

AA is not a minecraft like game!! See my thread on forcing games into every discussion

DrunkWolf · December 2016

Its a survival game, but 7 days to die is a great builder also. there are no Pre fab walls and stuff, you have to build everything yourself one block at a time. then you can upgrade the blocks to stronger ones.

oh and every 7 days a horde of zombies will come and attack your building trying to tear it to the ground ! so put some log spikes around it and protect yourself !

Wurm Unlimited
Ark
Terraria

If want something to tide you over, have you played World of Goo yet? That's a single-player game where you build with goo balls to solve puzzles.

Skysaga is pretty good and a nice mix of adventure/building.

Overwatch is a hero shooter.

Space Engineers is what you are looking for.

Lerxst · December 2016

A couple weeks too late, but I'd suggest Empyrion: Galactic Survival. It was the game that No Man's Sky could only have dreamed of being. Huge amount of building, including space craft to launch off and explore other planets, or build a space station.

Medieval Engineers is also another one on my personal list and they are starting to update more regularly. Realistic building physics. Resource gathering. Barbarian raids. Etc.

7 Days to Die, already mentioned, but also really challenging and keeps you on your toes throughout.

Unturned - a Free To Play, MMO much like Minecraft... only... zombies.

If you're into the 2d types of games, try Dig or Die for about $7.00 on Steam. Lots of building options, structural physics, nice combat, boss fights and a definitive ending to reach for.
