Lots of good suggestions already. I'll throw Overload onto the pile:

If you ever played Descent back in the day, you know what to expect. This game is Descent 4 in all but name, and solidly well done.

Anyone who already bought it got the remaster for free.

Yeah; I got it and it's a nice surprise to get it for free on the back of purchasing the original game.

One day I'll install it and remove the original version. It is a fun open world game.

Most recently? For me it's Subnautica all the way. It has it all: exploration, resource gathering, base building, and a great story that you solve along the way. It's what exploration in Elite should be. It will also be a fantastic VR game once it fully supports the use of Vive Wands or Oculus Touch as controllers.

Picked this up a while back, for VR, but I'm waiting for motion controller support. Looks like a neat game tho - did you play in VR as it is, now?

Or a new Wing Commander.

We thought Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky and Star Citizen meant a rebirth of the space shooter but all we got is these overly ambitious projects that totally missed the mark.

All I wanted was game that plays just like WWII combat sims. You have a campaign where you fly in squadrons with AI. You have a multiplayer where you join a server where humans take sides and fight for objectives.

That's all I wanted. I didn't want billions of stars and second life and second job where I grind away to buy virtual ships.

I would support a kickstarter for a real space combat sim with no MMO/RPG nonsense.

Well, SQ42 is supposed to be the single player campaign for Star Citizen but it's pretty much up in the air if/when/How is is released.

Who in their right mind ever though ED or NMS would ever be a 'WW2 campaign shooter in space'? :S

Yeah, whatever happened to games with campaigns where you play a series of missions with a briefing before each one? That's really missing from modern space games. I was hoping for that from Squadron 42 but I now doubt there'll ever be a squadron 42

If you want a 'military career' game with a mix of spaceships and FPS, try Cod:IW. Its actually pretty good!
