Have you tried Sea of Stars? (seaofstarsgame.co)

I read about this game months ago, when it was released I was very glad to see that it was on PS Plus from Day 1. Since I am already subscribed to PS Plus, I have downloaded it and playing it right now. I really like the game up until now.

I will probably try the studio's other games like The Messenger when I'm done!

The messenger is actually a prequel to Sea of Stars.

Other way around. A "prequel" is a work that is released after (as in "sequel") but set before (as in "previous") another work.

Sea of Stars is a prequel to The Messenger, as it was released after The Messenger but is set (thousands of years) before it.

Ahh brain fart. Thanks for correcting me!

I tend to be less excited for prequels because of this. Good stories can go in a completely unexpected direction, for instance having a villain "win" in an unexpected way, or killing off characters you expected to survive. Prequels are often just an excuse to give more content of the same, especially in order to star someone that's been killed off in other media.
