Not a videogame per se, but still a potential timesink for some of us. I like it anyway.
Space Engine is a free space simulation software that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, starting from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by human astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets!
So, a space simulator. Allows FTL travel to get between universes. No interesting creatures like Noctis had, but it is very pretty sometimes.

Edit: Also prone to crashing. Such is life.
I love this, but I’m disappointed that planets don’t seem to render at all (on Wine.)
Have you tried landing on them with shift+g instead of flying into them? If so, I got nothing. They render for me, if slowly.
Likewise, Kerbal Space Program, which is somewhere between Space Engine and the hardcore space sim Orbiter. It consumed about a month of my life.
If you checked it out when it was first released, I highly recommend (staying away from) its current state—it has matured very well.
