There's a game called the long dark that I really enjoy. It's got a story mode now, but it started as a sandbox game. The gist is that you're living in the Canadian north when an electromagnetic storm wipes out everything. Now, you have to survive the winter.

It's pretty simple to understand, but it's a permadeath system, so if you make a wrong move you can lose your character. Which is fine because there's tons to figure out and always a better way. It's neat if you like to explore.
