I have had so much fun with STANDBOX that I am super grateful that a good friend of mine gifted the game to me. It is the kind of game that is so simple, but it is also so addictive. This is a rag doll style of game where you just have fun abusing a poor old rag doll. What makes this game so much fun is the game engine which is one of the best that I have seen in a game of this style!

Meet Stanley

Stanley is the name of the rag doll that we are going to be putting through his paces in STANDBOX. Stanley is not your typical rag doll that we have all abused a million times before in a game like this. You see Stanley has bones, internal organs, and so on and that may not sound like a big deal or just an excuse to break bones and cause him to bleed, but it actually does play into the gameplay and that is what I found to be quite interesting.

He's Already Dead!

What I mean by that is that in STANDBOX, you can break his bones, damage his organs, and even mess him up so much that he bleeds out. You are basically not just screwing around and putting him into all kinds of dangerous situations, you are seeing just how much he can take until he can stand up no longer. It is a kind of sadistic thing I know, but it is no worse than doing all those final blows or fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1! It makes you get quite creative, almost like you are Jigsaw from the SAW movies as you try to “play a game” with poor Stanley to see how much he can take!

Getting Creative With Poor Stanley

Let me ask you a question, have you played a rag doll physics style game before where you just abuse a little rag doll in all kinds of crazy ways? Well, that is pretty much what we have here with STANDBOX. From shooting him, throwing him, setting up elaborate SAW like traps. You just screw around and come up with all kinds of crazy scenarios to put Stanley through and then see if he can get up afterward. There are only a few maps, but there is still enough to mess around with to make this worthwhile.

A Taste Of Things To Come

On the Steam page, the developer says that they want people to buy this game for what it is, not what it can become. I like this, but STANDBOX is a game that I am sure will be updated with more maps, more things to use, and so on and that is awesome. However, one thing that I really do hope is implemented into the game is workshop support. The community can make or break a game like this and it would be awesome for creative types to be able to share their maps and other things that they have made.

At the end of the day, STANDBOX is a game that is not exactly full of content, but what is here is very enjoyable. I have played many games of this style, but I think the fact that Stanley has organs and bones so you can see just how much damage what you are doing to him does make this one stand out. I have had a lot of fun with this and it is a game that I can fire up in between playing other games as a way to chill out and have some fun. I am legit excited to see what else may be coming to this game.

Pros:

  • I like how Stanley has more going on than a typical rag doll
  • You can get very creative with what you do to Stanley
  • There are a few different maps/areas to play in
  • This can be very addictive

Cons:

  • While fun, there is not a great deal of content here
  • It may turn you into the next Jigsaw!

Game Reviews

STANDBOX is a sandbox game that allows you to mess with your ragdoll. Unlike most games of this genre in STANDBOX your ragdoll reacts to all manipulations with it. The intelligent ragdoll is able to keep its balance on unstable structures, react to injuries and makes attempts to escape even in desperate situations. Use all your sadistic fantasy to kill the unfortunate ragdoll, or try to play something completely non-threatening with him.

Pros of the game:

  • Realistic physics of the objects
  • Ragdoll reacts to your actions
  • Three locations and endless possibilities
