I've been looking for an alternative to SC, something that plays similarly. What do you suggest? Elite Dangerous has been brought up before but I found it isn't quite there yet.
- smoldesu 4y agoNo Man's Sky is quite fun nowadays, it scratches my Star Trek "to boldly go" itch whenever I boot it up. It isn't Star Citizen, but it also never promised to be. In a sense, No Man's Sky is to Elite Dangerous what Breath of the Wild is to Elden Ring. Similar games with very different approaches that lead to much different experiences. That being said, it's not very hardcore unless you play it on the harder difficulties. Even then, the cartoony/comic-book aesthetic might rub you the wrong way (totally understandable). I'd also recommend Rimworld, though it's a completely different kind of game from Star Citizen. However, I think a lot of the people who enjoy the ideas of tightly-interlocked systems would get a real kick out of it. It's heavily management-focused and doesn't have any space combat, but it's in a highly-complete state with thousands of really well-made mods. If you're looking for oodles of procedural sci-fi storytelling, this is where to get it at.
- Arrath 4y agoCan also highly recommend Rimworld, if you're into colony/town simulators or like Drwaf Fortress. > doesn't have any space combat No space combat, out of the box, mods to the rescue[1].

- dpkirchner 4y agoI do dig NMS and I just noticed the last time I played E:D was almost five years ago, probably time to try it again. Rimworld is a gem!
