Don’t call it an MMORPG, but Planet Explorers might just scratch your sandbox itch. Formally releasing out of early access on Steam today, the game is a massive sci-fantasy sandbox with 30 hours of solo and co-op story, but it can also be played in multiplayer on official and player-run servers. Developer Pathea Games says players will bump into digging, farming, colony-building, resources, enemies and followers, a realistic weather and diurnal cycle, a negotiation mechanic, and 200 unique items. For you hardcore tinkerers who just can’t leave well enough alone (*raises hand*), there’s a creation editor and story editor too.
And I swear I spy a pseudo-lightsaber in those pics.
The game is currently $24.99 on Steam.
