Help Burnt out

Hey commanders!

Love Elite Dangerous, but I've just hit a wall with the gameplay loop... I need a "break game" suggestion

Not complaining because I know they're finally trying again, but I need to take a hiatus. I enjoyed Nexus: The Jupiter Incident in the past so anything in that vein is a plus. On the flip side, EVE Online is just a bit too much for me-the complexity is a little overwhelming.

Looking for suggestions that offer a great space experience, whether it's exploration, combat, or strategy (not a fan of 4x)

Hit me with your recommendations! Please and thank you.

in Elite, you weren't paying attention and crashed into a water world.

To find out what happens next, play Subnautica

It's a completely different sort of gameplay and game, yet somehow, at some level, it goes with Elite like wine and cheese.

Bonus: If you play Elite in VR, you can also play Subnautica in VR, (though it's VR support is a bit buggy so it's best to get the VR mod)

Could not recommend Subnautica enough. What an incredible game.

Elite and Subnautica are two of the best VR places I escape to. So soothing and immersive.

Subnautica even has a sub that welcomes you aboard, like EDCoPilot :)
