If you like these sorts of games (particularly games like Titanfall and Subnautica, or DRG), you might really like Elite Dangerous. Has a big learning curve, but it's a "once every decade or two" game when it comes to scratching a deep deep Sci fi itch. 1:1* milky way, set thousands of years in the future, with a variety of ships and missions,with excellent HOTAS and VR support. Co-op up to five people, even more if you are in a public server. FPS game with a variety of vehicles, from small cars to aircraft carriers 4x the length of the burj Khalifa.

  • the milky way is cut down slightly, as the core of our galaxy is so dense with stars, it melts computers and makes it impossible to fly between stars, which are almost as dense as sand in a sandbox.

I haven't played Elite Dangerous since the first year it came out. At that time it was the very definition of "A mile wide and an inch deep" though.

Has it gotten any deeper?

If you haven't played since 2014, it has gotten a lot deeper, haha. Hell, there's even a whole human civilization around Sag A* these days.

i remember doing the run to Sag A* in a single day a few years ago. In full VR with HOTAS. Experiencing that black hole like that is still one of my best gaming memories of all time.

The fact that there’s now a full human civilisation out there blows my mind.
