I found this amazing little game called Z-Exemplar. It's like R-type. I'd say it's worth a try. I know it has pretentious looking graphics, but the annoying features can be turned off.
It's only real problem is that it gets slightly repetitious, but it opens up after an hour or so. You get more planet variety, more toys to play with, and more customization to your ship.
I'm a novelist, so I spend my breaks from gaming working on my next book. Whether that's planning, editing, drafting, what have you.
One of these days I'll write a book about how gay PS4 owners are.
