I find the core to games like Sim City and Minecraft is the player will establish their own goals ... build a thriving working city in Sim City ... or build a not so thriving city in Minecraft a block at a time. I think rather than goals there perhaps needs to be progression ... either you progress through the story, mission objectives or you progress on your own personal project.
