for me its dragon ball z. i’ve always wanted a good 3d open world dbz action rpg kind of game, but it’s just never been done to its full potential. the closest we’ve gotten in my opinion is dragon ball z kakarot, which has great DBZ fighting game style fighting, and tries to incorporate it with an open world with rpg-light type features, but the world and rpg elements are just so uninspired and poorly done. they don’t really blend well with the fighting segments either, it feels like all of the ‘open world’ is more of just a 3d overworld with minigames
Star Trek. ST online started promising, but it turned into loot box gambling.
There is an old mod for FTL that made it the same game but star trek that was cool. The NES and SNES top down games are charming when you get the hang of em, maybe just play a rom with a guide. They’re charming. I think an mmo where you’re aboard a ship and the bridge crew are NPCs would be neat
That’s what STO is, and to be fair you can do a lot solo last I checked. But it went f2p and suddenly it turned into a casino.
