May be its because I have not reached hardmode yet but I feel Terraria is the best "sandbox" game I played, mainly because of the different influences it takes (metroidvania, RPG I guess with the items, etc) and it just having a lot of depth. I only started playing this month though.
I also came to say Terraria. It has such a great progression from fantasy monsters and swords and magic, then you get a musket, then a laser gun, and by the end of the game you're using a sword that shoots Nyan cats. It's style is so distinctive, despite being a mishmash of different genres and media references. I can't think of any other game that lets you progress from nearly helpless to master of the world in such a satisfying way.
Also Hardmode is imo where the game hits it's peak. It's a bit more linear in terms of boss order, because you don't have to actually fight any bosses pre-hardmode except the wall of flesh to advance, but in Hardmode you gotta go mech bosses -> plantera -> golem-> moon lord. But I think that works well, because it means there's a few different tiers of progress you can make in Hardmode.
Damn I am excited. I got all my pre-hardmode NPC's and three pylons up for each of the villages. I ran out of money and bombs when making a hellivator though :(, but I guess I should farm the jungle underground in the meantime even though I think I am pretty well geared (got full demonite armor, the minishark, bee sword, and like both the slime and bee summon ally thing).
