Amazing worlds and gorgeous universe-building, you can base-build, ship-build, explore, and achieve. Multiplayer optional, but NPC interactions are repetitive, boring, or non-existent.

It'll scratch your sci-fi Fallout itch, but otherwise a vapid galaxy with uninteresting characters and even less interesting romances. Shipbuilding is great, boring settlement system. Mods are a must.

Finally a new generation of life simulator to compete with The Sims, but needs more development time, as it's still rather spartan and lacking in character. It does look great, though!

FPS where can do more than shoot: drive, fly, interact with people (shallowly). Open world, linear storyline, occasional emergent behavior/situations. Solo & co-op play. Character Customization: 2 /5

Great with friends, but almost no NPC interactions. Solo or co-op, exploration and survival zombie game. Mine, explore, scavenge, shoot, build...endless possibilities with and without people.

Essentially Fallout 4, but you can play with people. With the new Wastelanders expansion, two new characters for relationships. You can build your own C.A.M.P.; open world, exploration, shooting.

Why don't you own this yet? Robust mods via NexusMods, settlement building, romanceable characters, character customization, open world. It checks almost all the boxes!

This is what games should be evolving to become...story and character-driven, significant choices which directly impact the endings.

Not quite as good as Knights of the Old Republic or Mass Effect, it still has its storylines and romanceable characters as well as avatar customization.

Satisfying conclusion to the Heileen series! Somewhat grindy job system to build up points, but a lot of dialogue and options for romance!
