Morphite
Set in a distant future where humanity has colonized the far reaches of space, Morphite follows the story of Myrah Kale, a young woman whose life takes a sudden turn when a simple mission develops into an epic interstellar journey revealing her mysterious past and relation to a coveted substance called Morphite.
Myrah will voyage to the furthest corners of space and explore uncharted procedurally-generated planets, each with diverse landscapes and teeming with exotic flora and fauna. With the help of a scanner, Myrah will sell biological information for ship, suit and weapon upgrades.
Inside Myrah’s vessel, players will engage in random encounters with real-time space combat, trade with other travelers across the galaxy and navigate outer space with Morphite’s easy-to-use Starmap system.

I was quite surprised that Morphite was able to hold my interest for as long as it did.
It is an indie version of No Man's Sky, and the gameplay loop is fairly fun. Unfortunately it's incredibly buggy.
You go down to planets, you scan animals, you shoot animals, you find minerals, you go to stations, you sell your stuff and you upgrade your ship and weapons. You do all this while progressing through a fairly mediocre story. It doesn't sound that interesting, but Morphite manages to do this really well.
Morphite is very much about chilling and meandering. The natural progression and upgrade systems always create a simple goal, I was able to follow. The planets are distinct and the animals are nice to look at. The game also throws in other smaller elements, every few hours making the game always interesting. We have space events, space fights, grappling hooks and fun puzzle sections, as well as boss fights and funny story events. The gameplay is surprisingly not grindy, even though I expected that from a game like this.
It all sounds really good, sadly Morphite is an indie game and it that really shows, because it's full of bugs and glitches. Geometry doesn't always have collision, animals can hit you from far away, missions you have completed repeat, if you land on the same planet twice. Clipping through puzzles happens often. Checkpoints don't always work.
What finally broke the game was a bug that happened while I was shooting and entering a cutscene. After the cutscene was over all my guns needed to be aimed half a screen lower to connect. This made the game unplayable.
There were other smaller issues, like terrible enemy AI, boring combat, all weapons feeling identical, no settings, difficult controls, random location for upgrade stations, side quests that are just checklists without meaning etc. These didn't break the game... The bugs did.
This is why I ultimately can't recommend this, even though I enjoyed most of my time with the game.
