| ''[[Minecraft]]'' || ''[[Terraria]]'' || [[Wide Open Sandbox|Wide Open Sandboxes]] featuring blocky graphics, random level generation, and underground gameplay. || ''Minecraft'' is 3D, ''Terraria'' is 2D and features RPG elements. || ''Minecraft'' has sold more than five million units since the alpha stages, and received widespread critical acclaim upon official release. ''Terraria'' however still did rather impressively, selling at least a million since release with highly positive reviews and remaining one of the most-played games on Steam. Also, Notch approves of ''Terraria'' and quite a bit of the ''Minecraft'' fanbase also plays it, so there's no real "winner".

| ''[[One]]'' || ''[[Video Game/Apocalypse|Apocalypse]]'' ||3D overhead shooters released exclusively on the original Playstation.|| ''One'' has more emphasis on platforming and cinematic setpieces. ''Apocalypse'' is more actioney and features [[Bruce Willis

| ''[[LA Noire]]'' || ''[[Driver]]: San Francisco'' || [[Wide Open Sandbox]] games released in 2011 where you play as a police officer in a [[Period Piece]]/[[Retro Universe]] [[California]] city. || ''Noire'' is set in an accurately-detailed and researched 1947 [[Los Angeles]], while ''Driver'' is set in a [[San Francisco]] with modern technology and vehicles [[Retro Universe|but an otherwise heavy '70s aesthetic]]. ''Noire'' is heavily focused around the process of police investigation, while the ''Driver'' series' strength has always been its car chases, something that looks to remain true here. This is also a continuation of the Rockstar/Reflections rivalry that began in [[Grand Theft Auto III|2001]]. || ''Noire'' wins this one easily, with rave reviews and over three million sales. ''Driver'', though, has also gotten good reviews and decent sales, and has helped to restore its franchise's respectability (which it had previously squandered with the execrable ''Driv3r'') in the eyes of most critics and gamers.
