Elite Dangerous sets itself apart through its colossal persistent universe. While Starfield has myriad pre-written stories, Outer Wilds challenges you to find the cracks in the solar system, and No Man's Sky makes survival the goal, Elite Dangerous puts all the power in your hands. This sci-fi universe can morph and change thanks to your decisions (or anyone else's), and after ten years it's only getting bigger. So if you fancy giving Elite Dangerous a go, it's currently the cheapest it's ever been on Steam.
