I feel like I've missed a trick by not playing Elite: Dangerous.
I picked it up in Beta, put about 30 hours into it and was really enjoying myself. Then they wiped the saves for release and I went "fuck it" and never went back. Had a couple of looks in VR (utterly stunning) but by then had moved here and didn't have the space or time.
There was a big Thargoid war and some of the footage was really fucking cool (I watched an in-game vid of a 'titan' exploding in a nebula - the captain of the ship had to get to like earth > mars distances so the explosion wouldn't take him out.

Now apparently they're releasing a "go colonise the solar systems" update. Including planets, of course.
I think I actually have the sort of eternal account for all updates etc? Haven't touched it in years
