What video game should I play?
Constraints:
- This will be on Windows.
- I'm particularly interested in either (a) a wargame that's about maneuvering my units rather than climbing a tech tree or diploming with seven other factions or (b) something where I'm operating a vehicle (car, spaceship, whatever) but that is easier than actually getting a pilot's license.
- I'm not interested in retro games.
@peterdrake Have you played Elite Dangerous?

@antares I tried, but that definitely fell into the "getting a pilot's license" category. I don't want to do 20 hours of tutorials before I can have any fun. I mean, crikey, this "essential starter guide" is 9 pages long:

Also, give me missions, not this open world "track the prices of 40 commodities across 200 star systems" stuff.
I really *wanted* to like Elite Dangerous, but obviously I had a bad experience.
