I'm playing X4 Foundations right now. It's like someone mixed the best parts of Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, and Stellaris into one single-player game. And it runs on the Steam Deck to boot!
Outer Wilds is the most unique space mystery game with rogue-like elements I've ever played (not to be confused with The Outer Worlds). I feel that describing the premise takes away from some of magic of learning the game, but if you like the exploration elements of games like KSP and the puzzle elements of Portal or Stanley Parable I highly recommend giving it a go.
same for me, but maybe a bit more recent. i have fallen in and out of love with elite dangerous several times, but i haven’t played in maybe about 6 months or so. i probably have at least 500 hours in the game, i’ve got a fleet carrier that is slowly draining my finances while i’m not playing… but i feel like there’s nothing for me to do anymore other than continue to repeat the same trade routes over and over.
Outer Wilds! It's the game I suggest to anyone who enjoys exploration and puzzles. The story unravels slowly as you piece together clues. The solar system is so fun, with each planet having unique mechanics. One of my absolute favorites!
Outer Wilds is a really great game! I have some minor grudges with smaller parts of the story and world but it's an overall awesome experience that doesn't take itself to seriously.
It’s so good! My suggestion is to try and avoid looking anything up or reading too much about the game beforehand. The magic is really in exploring and discovering things as you go. Beautiful game :)
Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but I have fond memories of StarFox on the Nintendo 64. It feels a lot like an arcade game, best played with a controller, but you can play it online here and elsewhere. I had a shot, but even changing the keybindings it's quite hard to play with a keyboard.
