Minecraft has Some Competition

I'm not much for sandbox games.  I guess I am lacking that creative spark that makes someone build amazing things out of cubes.  That doesn't mean I'm not intrigued by them.  Minecraft seems to be extremely popular even after several years.  Earlier this week on the Steam Store I saw an ad for a new Lego game known as Lego Worlds.  Lego's were my favorite toys as a kid and I've generally enjoyed the goofy Lego videogames that I have played.  Here's a trailer so you can check it out:

Currently Lego Worlds is in early access but it looks like a promising addition to the building/exploration/sandbox genre.  You can play in a number of procedurally generated worlds and eithe mess around with the existing creations like vehicles, animals you can ride (there's a dragon that spits fireballs that can destroy objects on the ground), or focus on creating your own world and characters.

I've been tempted to give this game a look, but know that my attention span in sandbox games is pretty short.  I think it's great that new developers are bringing options to the genre.  The Steam Sale is coming up (supposedly later this week) and maybe I can pick it up for a steal.
