Man of the House,
Monkey Business,
F.I.L.F.
Summertime Saga

I like both, and as said above, sandbox needs to be done right.
Sandbox is fun because you feel like you can focus on certain goals, VN's, things happen when they happen.
Coming Home does a nice job with sandbox. In-game way to see how to progress.

 

[Sandman9]

Visual Novels. Don't really like sandboxes, but some of the are good.

 

[_Frt2_]

VN definitely. There's only few sanboxes I'm willing to play. I can't believe I did grind games like "Man of the House" or "My Hot Roommate" some years ago. Maybe there was no better options, I don't know, but I have no interest on useless grinding and clicking anymore.

VN, in Sandboxgames the grind makes no fun sometimes

 

[medi0]

Visual Novel

 

[Karamchad]

VNs are barely a game, you just press enter and sometimes get to pick a response.
Its not that different from simply reading a comic.

 

[lowyogurt]

Visual Novel

 

[LadyCeleste]

Sandbox; I can't understate how much repeatable scenes and being able to choose what order I do them in (on any particular day) adds to them, as compared to seeing it once in a novel-style game.

 

[lolilewder]

visual novel, when i first started playing these games i played and completed big brother, i'd never do that nowadays, i don't have the patience anymore

 

[battlemercy]

sanbox for 3d,vn for 2d

 

[Tar]

Definitely VN. Very few sandbox games are decent. Grind shouldn't exist in porn.

 

[miniboss]

I mostly prefer VN

 

[creepman]

it depends if you can actually do stuff in the sandbox then generally sandbox but if the story is really good then VN

 

[shitt2]

I more like visual novel because it usually simpler to play.

 

[Skrotum]

VN is preferred. I like sandbox if there is something to discover, but only if it is without grind. The Headmaster has a good sandbox for example.

 

[Dragon6969]

both but its hard for a sandbox to tell a story the same way a vn can

 

[Dragon6969]

its been done successfully before but its rare
