What people are saying

The Real Review

People are pretty sour on S&box overall, with a lot of negativity aimed at Facepunch Studios and the PC platform's performance issues. While the idea of a modern sandbox platform for community-made games has appeal, the execution is getting slammed for feeling half-baked and overpriced. The core promise of a connected ecosystem for building and playing is landing with some, but most reactions say the value is terrible and the current state is a buggy mess.
