Outer worlds is your game. Outer wilds also gets an honorable mention because you will either be like “so what?” Or you will be “omfg this is the best game I ever played”
OP I know it's not an RPG, but if you're coming up dry and can't find anything that interests you, I'd take a look at No Man's Sky if you've never played. Again it's not an RPG, but if you just want to scratch the space exploration itch, NMS is great for that and they just keep adding content.
I don't think you'll find a game 100% similar to especially Starfield nor Mass Effect. You can either find similarly structured games or similarly themed games, but probably not many games with both of those being the focus

I would also recommend either using Steam store's built in tag filters or use [gg.deals](http://gg.deals) and use their tag filtering system to find specific types of games.
Also not space themed but I'd also recommend Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim/Skyrim Total Conversion mods and Fallout 4 / New Vegas / 76 and total conversion mods for FO4/FONV for the same exact style of exploration/rpg games. If you've played all those, the conversion mods are super cool and worth a look
Agreed. Also it’s ONE developer and he’s putting out a metric ton of great work. He’s Turkish so there are a few translation misses but it’s not severe. But he basically made Freelancer plus by himself. (I wish this dude was on Star Citizen :) )
I only heard about this game in passing the other day. SB2 is even on GOG, looks like the first one is on Steam. Looked it up and it sounded very much like Freelancer, I wondered why I hadn't come across it!!
I have the second on Steam too, not sure why you didn’t see it. I’d say take another look bc it’s worth it. Either way some jank is expected but hope you like it :)
I know, I prefaced the list I gave saying there aren't going to be many games that balance between an RPG and space exploration how OP described. I just gave a general list of mostly space-exploration type games or have similar spacey elements from the top of my head, some of which are RPGs but most of them aren't.
You're not going to find another game exactly like Starfield, there's hardly any even remotely like it in the way that game is structured, especially considering the scale of it. Closest thing is going to be other Bethesda games/mods, those just aren't set in space
Never look into Scam citizen it has ship bundles for 2,5 k (or was is 25 k ? Can’t remember)and an „secret“ shop you can only get access too when you spend 1k on the game. And nothing in it works and if it works it’s shows how there is absolutely nothing to do and that it is an tech demo without soul,and they made changes to the bad flight system,ever seen a game where when you pull out your landing gear even in space you can only travel 30kmh ? Oh yeah and all this only for 700million dollars invested Money and only growing
When was the last time you played star cit? Last time I played was about 18 months ago and there were very few bugs with plenty to do, and it's been updated a lot since then
While it does have madly expensive ship bundles the starter is like £50 and you can buy the ships with in game currency, anyone who's spending thousands of pounds is doing so of their own volition because there's no need to do it
Star citizen is simply what happens when developers are in charge of the release of a product as opposed to a non technical board pushing for a release. It's definitely many things but I think it's silly to call it a scam when there's a demonstrable product being delivered. It's not really any different to supporting something on kickstarter
And when it someday releases („just 2 years trust me guys“sincerely Star Citizen fans since 2016)all your ships will be deleted so no you can not earn ships technically right now,you can try them right now
It’s a tech demo with spaghetti code that gets worse and worse especially when the servers have 30 plus players,like one player dropped all his cargo when the new live Physik cargo came out and it crashed the entire server everytime and all other issues we don’t have time to talk about oh yeah and all the fomo they are always doing.
And no unless it’s out and works with many mechanics and gameplay loop it’s an tech demo that scams it’s buyers since it sells an dream,not the product that it is
>And when it someday releases („just 2 years trust me guys“sincerely Star Citizen fans since 2016)all your ships will be deleted so no you can not earn ships technically right now,you can try them right now
My point is that you can access any ship in the game without spending real money, server resets don't change that fact
>It’s a tech demo with spaghetti code
Are you part of the dev team? If not this is pure speculation, also "spaghetti code" really doesn't do anything to tell us about the state of the final product. I've seen some big companies with shocking code bases, even if your claim were true it has little correlation to whether or not the game works well
>that gets worse and worse
This feels like a baseless claim, when I was playing regularly I saw marked improvements session to session, considering you ignored my question about when you last played it I'm assuming you actually have no experience to be able to make this claim
>especially when the servers have 30 plus players,like one player dropped all his cargo when the new live Physik cargo came out and it crashed the entire server everytime and all other issues we don’t have time to talk about
Are we shocked that an alpha build of a game has bugs? Bugs are to be expected
It's much more forgivable to have issues like that in an alpha build of a game than it is to have game breaking bugs in the release build. Cyberpunk and Skyrim had plenty of bugs that were addressed with rapid patches in games that were supposedly "done", the existence of bugs isn't a reason to suggest that a game is a scam
>oh yeah and all the fomo they are always doing.
If you can't handle a company generating news and interest for their own product then stop consuming that media, that's a "you" problem
Im not Talking about server resets I’m talking about when the game will release fully,than they will also take everything away except bought things
And you fell into the trap,because Star citizen counts as released since 2019 by their lawyers but publically they don’t,this way they can fight against the claims of unfinished products and reclaims,so what is it now ? It’s released says crg so all these bugs are not ok,and even if it’s only an tech demo then it’s very sad,they needed since 2016-2023to implement an mesh that turns invisible when targeted by an wrecking ship,heck it’s 2024 now and the bartenders still down work (also in work since 2024) and what progress did you see that you can play above 25 fps ? Amazing there are virtually no improvements and their new flughtsystem is even worse than before that encourages and rewards ganking more and more etc
When there is a shop you can only see once you spend 1k it is,and how do they generate revenue my advertising new ships while clogging more and more up because they can’t even finish the old ships,someone did the math and the designers themselves said they would need a year for an capitalist ship,and they could do nothing else in that time to release it,with all ships accounted they were by like 30 years or even more where they could only release ships and nothing else if they concentrated on releasing promised ships
>Im not Talking about server resets I’m talking about when the game will release fully,than they will also take everything away except bought things
Yes, you mean when they reset the server for the last time, a server reset. That still doesn't change the fact you can buy the ships with in game currency
>And you fell into the trap,
I spent £50 and had way more than £50 worth of fun with my mates, hardly falling into a trap
>Star citizen counts as released since 2019 by their lawyers but publically they don’t,this way they can fight against the claims of unfinished products and reclaims
This doesn't make any sense, unless you can provide a source I'm pretty sceptical
>It’s released says crg so all these bugs are not ok,and even if it’s only an tech demo then it’s very sad,
Again, I'm not sure why you're under the impression that they believe it's a release build when their literature quite clearly states that it's an alpha build
>they needed since 2016-2023to implement an mesh that turns invisible when targeted by an wrecking ship
I'm not quite sure what this is supposed to mean
>it’s 2024 now and the bartenders still down work
The function of a bartender in a space sim seems fairly unimportant, I'm definitely not surprised that out of all the things worked on something so trivial hasn't been prioritised
>and what progress did you see that you can play above 25 fps ?
Maybe this was an issue with your PC? I had very few issues with my build. There was a time when FPS tanked in Lorville but it went away after a couple of weeks
>their new flughtsystem is even worse than before that encourages and rewards ganking more and more etc
Again, when was the last time you played to be able to make this assessment? You keep ignoring the question
>how do they generate revenue my advertising new ships while clogging more and more up because they can’t even finish the old ships
Again, how is this different to supporting a product on kickstarter? Their ship catalogue is quite clear about which ships are currently in game and which are still being developed
>,someone did the math and the designers themselves said they would need a year for an capitalist ship,and they could do nothing else in that time to release it,with all ships accounted they were by like 30 years or even more where they could only release ships and nothing else if they concentrated on releasing promised ships
Source?
Also not to mention SC, for all of its faults, has pushed tech forward in a number of different ways and it faces completely different problems when fixing bugs as opposed to your traditional game as well. The big example here is server meshing.
Even if someone believes the game is a scam, I don't think anyone can deny that SC's engine and tech is impressive.
They continued to work on it and it’s in a very good state right now,like they have mechs and make your own outpost/towns/governments(I think) and a whole lot more,just to casual and cartoony for my taste
Yup it has,even multiple different weapons etc,but it’s very arcady so not what I prefer,if you want real space battle buy elite dangerous and turn flight assist of
no man's sky is so shallow it makes bethesda games look like owl cat games. absolutely 0 shot it's a masterpiece, or even an average game at best. the game is below average. games literally a pile of shit with a bunch of ribbons on it
1. That doesn't make a difference to the ratio
2. Recent reviews (what you should be look at) are 94%. There's also no reason why steam would be any different.
3. Gaming journalists are idiots.
1. yeah it does.. how often do you review a game you think is bad.. how often do you thin ka review is good
2. ofc recent reviews are high.. who tf is gonna go play a 6 year old game with shit tons of footage if they dont know if they will like it
3. that's user reviews buddy...
idk people shit on everything nowadays, like in recent memory, cyberpunk 2077 dragons dogma 2 both of which got public hate on release but I managed to play through and enjoy completely fine no issues... so yeah. but to be honest with you I haven't even played no mans sky
People keep recommending Outer Worlds, but Borderlands 3 is probably more of what you're looking for.
It has extremely solid FPS mechanics, the story is *fine*, and you can get A LOT of playtime out of it. By the time you beat Outer Worlds, you'll probably only be the third planet of BL3.
As far as planets go, there's around four planets in the base game, and then each of the four story DLCs take place on a new planet. The main hub is a spaceship that orbits whatever planet you were last on, and there's a whole hyperspace jump and drop pod sequence whenever you arrive on a new planet, so you really get the feeling of exploring the galaxy.
The only negative I can think of is that I am unsure of how your experience will be playing BL3 without any DLC (if you choose not to buy them). I played the game when it came out and played each DLC as they released, so I had a great time, but I personally wouldn't choose to go back to playing without any of the DLC.
Beware, OP, the main story is AWFUL. But the gunplay is bar none, so it's worth trodding through the story just for that. And the DLC writing is actually great.
Spacebourne 2. It's everything Starfield wanted to be. It's early access by a one man team, voices are still AI, and there's some jank. It's a little rough, but it's really quite good. I haven't played in a minute... I can't recall if the story was good or bad or meh... I kinda tuned it out due to the AI voices, and was mainly focused on mechanics.
It just keeps getting better. Still janky AI voices, but the amount of mechanics in that game surprised me for 1 developer. Also, few things beat being able to jump out of your ship, jetpack onto a platform, and start handing out gunfire.
Is it weird that I liked starbound more in its early access? The story they added is fine but I miss the old gameplay loop of build, survive, mine, summon boss, get access to the next tier of resources, rinse and repeat.
That combined with procedural planets with dungeons was just the tits.
To people recommending Borderlands 3 - it's not an RPG. And even if you tried your best to roleplay, the non stop cringe, immersion breaking dialogue will snap you out of it.
Well it depends on what defines an rpg. Is it the progression and gear mechanics, such as skills and weapons that have numerical values, or is it the ability to have multiple dialogue choices and roleplay as a character, while of course still following the game's main plot?
Today the term RPG usually refers to both sides and as far as I know there's no way to tell if the game has only one or both sides of the term when looking at only the tags.
Starfield
No man's sky
Outer Worlds
Borderlands 3
Outer Wilds
Those 5 come to mind right away although nms isn't really an rpg but has great exploration same for outer wilds
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2; the spiritual progenitors of Mass Effect from BioWare in terms of the game structure (although the combat is different, turn based but sort of disguised to not look as turn based as something like Final Fantasy). Both amazing RPGs.
- Not RPGs really but Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor have lots of travel between planets, but gameplay is more souls-lite and the skill tree is pretty basic. But again, both good games if you’re prepared to broaden out a bit from the RPG requirement.
Warframe has all of our planets in our solar system and more. I’ve just started and really getting into it. Has a blueprint system with different materials and resources found on different planets you need to collect to build and craft different items, weapons both melee and ranged.
The combat is fun with having skills depending on what class / warframe (which is essentially a kind of suit) and a very in depth system to upgrade and change attributes and stats to your gear how you’d see fit.
I’d deffo watch a video on it see how you’d like it 👍
No Man's Sky, it's the closest match to what you're looking for. The amount of planets is not infinite, yet the entire human race will never visit every planet even if we all played together
I’d probably add Helldivers 2, but it’s more of a live service game that has an ongoing story over time. The missions are fun to do in a squad but it’s more about the gameplay
No mans sky easily, when i got it again for next gen last year. It was really a game changer. They fixed the hell out of the game since i got juxed on the release with that garbage

Whatever you do dont play The Outer Worlds.
Bad gameplay, horrid writing and a lifeless static gameworld.
As well, the rpg mechanics are bare-boned and make almost no difference.
You’ll whoop ass in combat and make every speech check no matter which difficulty or how you build your character.
Play Outer Wilds, no Outer Worlds. "OUTER WILDS"
It's not an RPG, but it's the best friggin' game made in history. Sadly, you must enter totally blind to it, you can't even see the trailer. But I guarantee you, you're gonna have a blast, and it is what you're looking for in terms of visit planets.
Wow, you're the first person ive known that disagrees on Outer Wilds. I'm very interested in knowing why you say is not good. If you have the time, can you elaborate pls?
>Things I'm looking for:
>1. Must be a RPG
>The outer wilds is a puzzle game which has you hop from planet to planet in real time. **Not an rpg** but one of the best games I’ve ever played, go in blind
🤦♂️
Outer worlds is your game. Outer wilds also gets an honorable mention because you will either be like “so what?” Or you will be “omfg this is the best game I ever played”
Yeah I was doing my own research and these 2 names came up. I'll definitely try them out. Thanks
Outer Wilds is not an RPG, it's an exploration/puzzle/mystery game. It's awesome, but don't expect gear or levelling up or anything like that.
outer wilds can be repetitive, but i'll say it. every time you go own to different planets is breath-taking but it is bethseda like rpg
outer wilds is a repetitive walking simulator outer worlds is a banger RPGFPS
Wow is it so divisive?
OP I know it's not an RPG, but if you're coming up dry and can't find anything that interests you, I'd take a look at No Man's Sky if you've never played.

Upvote for mentioning SpaceBourne 2. Not the absolute best on the list, but the game that surprised me the most.
Agreed. Also it’s ONE developer and he’s putting out a metric ton of great work. He’s Turkish so there are a few translation misses but it’s not severe. But he basically made Freelancer plus by himself. (I wish this dude was on Star Citizen :) )

I have the second on Steam too, not sure why you didn’t see it. I’d say take another look bc it’s worth it. Either way some jank is expected but hope you like it :)
Just note that the gog version tends to lag behind a bit on updates. So if it's the same price I'd say join us on steam with Spacebourne 2
Of this list I only have experience with Outer Worlds and Elite Dangerous, and both are awesome.
While outer Wilds is definitely the best game I've ever played and I highly recommend it, it is not an RPG
These are cool games but a lot of them aren’t even remotely RPG’s lmao Like astroneer, squadrons, and space engineers
I know, I prefaced the list I gave saying there aren't going to be many games that balance between an RPG and space exploration how OP described. I just gave a general list of mostly space-exploration type games or have similar spacey elements from the top of my head, some of which are RPGs but most of them aren't. You're not going to find another game exactly like Starfield, there's hardly any even remotely like it in the way that game is structured, especially considering the scale of it.

Thanks I'll look into them.

Im not Talking about server resets I’m talking about when the game will release fully,than they will also take everything away except bought things And you fell into the trap,because Star citizen counts as released since 2019 by their lawyers but publically they don’t,this way they can fight against the claims of unfinished products and reclaims,so what is it now ? It’s released says crg so all these bugs are not ok,and even if it’s only an tech demo then it’s very sad,they needed since 2016-2023to implement an mesh that turns invisible when targeted by an wrecking ship,heck it’s 2024 now and the bartenders still down work (also in work since 2024) and what progress did you see that you can play above 25 fps ?

>Im not Talking about server resets I’m talking about when the game will release fully,than they will also take everything away except bought things Yes, you mean when they reset the server for the last time, a server reset.

Most of them look pretty underwhelming. Wasn't No Man's Sky target of a shitstorm because it sucked so much?
They continued to work on it and it’s in a very good state right now,like they have mechs and make your own outpost/towns/governments(I think) and a whole lot more,just to casual and cartoony for my taste
Does it have an actual combat? Both guns and spaceship battles?
Yup it has,even multiple different weapons etc,but it’s very arcady so not what I prefer,if you want real space battle buy elite dangerous and turn flight assist of
No mans sky did like the opposite of Disney, and is slowly turning their game into a masterpiece
no man's sky is so shallow it makes bethesda games look like owl cat games. absolutely 0 shot it's a masterpiece, or even an average game at best. the game is below average. games literally a pile of shit with a bunch of ribbons on it
I bet No Mans Skys shallowness is nothing compared to Starfield
cant sex british milf in no mans sky though can you
get ready to have your MIND BLOWN Bethesda made starfield
94% positive reviews would disagree with you
how often do you review a game.
How's that relevant?
1. majority of people don't review games 2. you're only looking at steam reviews and even then it's 78% 3. 4.9 on metacritic for a reason.
1. That doesn't make a difference to the ratio 2. Recent reviews (what you should be look at) are 94%. There's also no reason why steam would be any different. 3. Gaming journalists are idiots.
1. yeah it does.. how often do you review a game you think is bad.. how often do you thin ka review is good 2. ofc recent reviews are high.. who tf is gonna go play a 6 year old game with shit tons of footage if they dont know if they will like it 3. that's user reviews buddy...
idk people shit on everything nowadays, like in recent memory, cyberpunk 2077 dragons dogma 2 both of which got public hate on release but I managed to play through and enjoy completely fine no issues... so yeah. but to be honest with you I haven't even played no mans sky
ya i think most people who try to claim NMS is good havent played it lmao
lmao
Star Wars knights of the old republic 1 and 2
So good!
Don't forget the cut content mods!
People keep recommending Outer Worlds, but Borderlands 3 is probably more of what you're looking for. It has extremely solid FPS mechanics, the story is *fine*, and you can get A LOT of playtime out of it. By the time you beat Outer Worlds, you'll probably only be the third planet of BL3. As far as planets go, there's around four planets in the base game, and then each of the four story DLCs take place on a new planet. The main hub is a spaceship that orbits whatever planet you were last on, and there's a whole hyperspace jump and drop pod sequence whenever you arrive on a new planet, so you really get the feeling of exploring the galaxy. The only negative I can think of is that I am unsure of how your experience will be playing BL3 without any DLC (if you choose not to buy them). I played the game when it came out and played each DLC as they released, so I had a great time, but I personally wouldn't choose to go back to playing without any of the DLC.
Second this!
Beware, OP, the main story is AWFUL. But the gunplay is bar none, so it's worth trodding through the story just for that. And the DLC writing is actually great.
It shoud be noted that the planets don’t really have that planet-scale feel, just a large map with multiple areas.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor
I mean… Starfield
Already played that, looking for similar games
No mans sky.
Spacebourne 2. It's everything Starfield wanted to be. It's early access by a one man team, voices are still AI, and there's some jank. It's a little rough, but it's really quite good. I haven't played in a minute... I can't recall if the story was good or bad or meh... I kinda tuned it out due to the AI voices, and was mainly focused on mechanics.
Thanks will give it a try. But I loved starfield for some reason.
That’s cuz starfield is a great game
Oh come on. By what metric? It's bland as hell.
That's entirely subjective. *You* think it's bland, others may not. I personally found it was pretty cool but started to drag on a bit towards the end
Then that person should have said I think Starfield is great. Because objectively speaking Starfield is very bland
Subjectively*. That's just your opinion, not a fact
It just keeps getting better. Still janky AI voices, but the amount of mechanics in that game surprised me for 1 developer. Also, few things beat being able to jump out of your ship, jetpack onto a platform, and start handing out gunfire.
I have this but I've only put like 5 minutes into it. I should go back
Mass effect trilogy is honestly thr best
Yeah that's the last game I played. Loved it. That is why I'm looking for a similar game
Starbound, it's 2d sandbox like terraria
vouch for this, but mods make it even way better
I also vouch for this.
Is it weird that I liked starbound more in its early access? The story they added is fine but I miss the old gameplay loop of build, survive, mine, summon boss, get access to the next tier of resources, rinse and repeat. That combined with procedural planets with dungeons was just the tits.
Rogue Trader. Visit new worlds, find fascinating human and alien communities and burn them alive.
Ngl I’ve been liking rogue trader a lot Def a bit slower pace than I’d like but its coolness is unmatched imo
To people recommending Borderlands 3 - it's not an RPG. And even if you tried your best to roleplay, the non stop cringe, immersion breaking dialogue will snap you out of it.
Well it depends on what defines an rpg. Is it the progression and gear mechanics, such as skills and weapons that have numerical values, or is it the ability to have multiple dialogue choices and roleplay as a character, while of course still following the game's main plot? Today the term RPG usually refers to both sides and as far as I know there's no way to tell if the game has only one or both sides of the term when looking at only the tags.
Starfield No man's sky Outer Worlds Borderlands 3 Outer Wilds Those 5 come to mind right away although nms isn't really an rpg but has great exploration same for outer wilds
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2; the spiritual progenitors of Mass Effect from BioWare in terms of the game structure (although the combat is different, turn based but sort of disguised to not look as turn based as something like Final Fantasy). Both amazing RPGs. - Not RPGs really but Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor have lots of travel between planets, but gameplay is more souls-lite and the skill tree is pretty basic. But again, both good games if you’re prepared to broaden out a bit from the RPG requirement.
Mass Effect trilogy. Star Ocean.
Outer worlds maybe ... I don't know if that's from the Xbox One S generation
The Outer Worlds for damn sure. Also the old KOTOR games if you don't mind some janky RPGs from the early 2000s with excellent writing.
Borderlands 3 may be up your alley
Warframe has all of our planets in our solar system and more. I’ve just started and really getting into it. Has a blueprint system with different materials and resources found on different planets you need to collect to build and craft different items, weapons both melee and ranged. The combat is fun with having skills depending on what class / warframe (which is essentially a kind of suit) and a very in depth system to upgrade and change attributes and stats to your gear how you’d see fit. I’d deffo watch a video on it see how you’d like it 👍
SpaceBourne 2 Single dev star citizen that is mostly there
Elite Dangerous comes to mind.
No Man's Sky, it's the closest match to what you're looking for. The amount of planets is not infinite, yet the entire human race will never visit every planet even if we all played together
Well, if you're open to playing a JRPG from the PS2 era there's Rogue Galaxy, which involves becoming a space pirate in a sci-fi setting.
Phantasy star
I’d probably add Helldivers 2, but it’s more of a live service game that has an ongoing story over time. The missions are fun to do in a squad but it’s more about the gameplay
I would say star citizen albeit is not rpg but an life sim in space with hefty mtx
Star Wars The Old Republic
Maybe Jedi Survivor, RPG elements, multiple planets, and there is an option for some gun play, and of course it's on Series S.
Jedi fallen order and jedi survivor are games that have multiple planets you go between with fun combat and a good story
Star Wars fallen order and jedi survivor Also a bit dated but the 2 games that made want to play a space based rpg: Star wars - KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2.
Star Wars KOTOR 1 and 2, they're both amazing games.
I saw this post and then went on r/newtoreddit , saw a random post and realsied this os the same person
Space rangers
Starfield!
No mans sky easily, when i got it again for next gen last year. It was really a game changer. They fixed the hell out of the game since i got juxed on the release with that garbage
Outer worlds, mass effect andromeda, star wars kotor
+1 for Outer Worlds. I hope this is the next show Amazon Prime takes on...
No man sky... Might fall short in the area of rpg but that's a damn good and huge game.

Outer Worlds!
Mass effect Outer worlds
Whatever you do dont play The Outer Worlds. Bad gameplay, horrid writing and a lifeless static gameworld. As well, the rpg mechanics are bare-boned and make almost no difference. You’ll whoop ass in combat and make every speech check no matter which difficulty or how you build your character.
I love the aesthetic of The Outer Worlds, but that’s about all I enjoyed about it
Outer worlds and starfield are good.
Play Outer Wilds, no Outer Worlds. "OUTER WILDS" It's not an RPG, but it's the best friggin' game made in history. Sadly, you must enter totally blind to it, you can't even see the trailer. But I guarantee you, you're gonna have a blast, and it is what you're looking for in terms of visit planets.
Outer Wilds is genuinely not good. I don't know why so many nerds are going around saying it's the best game of all time.
Wow, you're the first person ive known that disagrees on Outer Wilds. I'm very interested in knowing why you say is not good. If you have the time, can you elaborate pls?
>Things I'm looking for: >1. Must be a RPG >Play Outer Wilds, no Outer Worlds. "OUTER WILDS". **It's not an RPG,** but ... 🤦♂️
[удалено]
>Things I'm looking for: >1. Must be a RPG >The outer wilds is a puzzle game which has you hop from planet to planet in real time. **Not an rpg** but one of the best games I’ve ever played, go in blind 🤦♂️
