Elite Dangerous is a counterpoint to that; massive procedural galaxy, but very tight and designed gameplay loops.

  Maybe I don't see it. A friend spent a few hours operating like a tourist bus service in Elite Dangerous, where somebody would contract him to go to specific places and then come back. But he wasn't playing it a week later, so I have no idea if there's actual depth there (Build a chain of tourist hotels orbiting interesting phenomena maybe?) or that tourist job is just one of a handful of ways to make some money but it doesn't really go anywhere.

    The tourist bus thing is procedurally generated missions saying "fly from X to Y". It doesn't really go anywhere interesting; no difference to flying cargo missions.
