just a note for inattentive readers: Outer Wilds from GP's comment is a very different game compared to Outer Worlds which the parent comment mentions. (it doesn't help that they were both released in the same year, 2019)

Outer Wilds: action-adventure, open world mystery game with puzzles

Outer Worlds: action role-playing game, open world first-person-shooter (similar to the Fallout games)

I get them confused all the time and you'd be in for a ride if you got Outer Wilds while expecting Outer Worlds, but the (G)GP actually mentioned both of them.
I mentioned both in my comment. I spaced them out in my list on purpose although perhaps that contributed to confusion.

There indeed entirely distinct games, but you can make a case that both fall into the AA category.
