Pacific Drive is weird but really fun. It's like DiRT meets CONTROL.
I don't think it needs another. It stands alone as a testament to an interesting game design that shouldn't be watered down.
I have yet to find another game that plays like Inscryption. It's a deck builder, but wow, it has a story. Interestingly good game that I want more of.
While Elite Dangerous is part of a genre, it is a rare game that is actually meant for lots of controller/J HOTAS methods and has shockingly deep gameplay. You can tell it was really meant for adept players, a rare style of games these days. I doubt we will see one like it for awhile, just due to the needs of consumers, the game engine, and the capital required to build a game of that size again.
I personally though ED was quite shallow. Deeper than e.g. No Man's Sky but still very "fake". The economy is just a bunch of RNG, nothing real. I recently got into X4: Foundations which is much better IMHO. It really simulates the entire economy and production chains. You can carry out supply chain attacks on your enemies. It's like a cross between ED and Stellaris.
