Kerbal Space Program
Definitely Terraria, Factorio, or Project Zomboid.
Dyson Sphere Program - more of a factory builder than a sandbox I guess but it is sandbox in a way
Also Garry's mod - showing my age here but this was the classic sandbox game I grew up with
Crusader Kings
Minest is a lot of fun
Considering 250GB of mods, Skyrim lol.
openTTD is fun if you want to harrass an abstraction of a city
IMO sandbox games are games in which players have the freedom to do things that make gameplay non-linear, such as exploring the world or building structures. Sandbox games can also be based entirely on player creativity, like creating levels or even entire game modes (or games) within a game
ah, then we have a pretty similar definition :)

is rather cool and fully open-source.
Terraria, definitely.
Garry's Mod
Unciv is pretty cool. It's a open source civilization building game. Pretty entertaining with all the various mods it have
The classic ==> its evolution...
-
Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero ==> Burnout Paradise
-
Phantasy Star Online ==> Borderlands 2 (online co-op)
-
Perfect Dark ==> Battlefield 3 (online multiplayer)
