New $5 sandbox game distills Terraria and Minecraft down to just the best part

There are a lot of things I love about sandbox games. Terraria gives you gear progression and big milestone boss fights. Astroneer invites you to explore space in search of that precious resource you’re missing. Minecraft is a playground for creativity. But A Game About Digging A Hole boils the genre down to the part I truly love most - carving my way through acres of land. It’s soothing, satisfying, and simple. Built by one developer in their spare time, the new indie game is already proving a winner on Steam.
