I can't actually think of anything that doesn't have something that
could be construed as a boss that involves combat.

Elite Dangerous Odyssey has FPS that is usually constrained to arena
bouts at a settlement.  Though, sometimes you'll have a mission to
restore power at a settlement, and there will be Thargoid drones roaming
around -- they can be tough.

The real "bosses" in the game, though, are the Thargoid starships,

Oh, and sometimes in a "High" Combat Zone, a capital ship will jump in,
which you have to make retreat.  But you don't end up in a CZ by
accident, so you'll know what you're getting into.

There might be Thargoid foot soldiers at some point, that might offer

There's a lot more to the first person play than combat,
though -- I've just flown off on a xenobiology expedition where one
scans fungii, plants, and bacterial mats for major space bucks. :)

Lousy ratings on Steam.  But thanks!

Be sure and read the reviews.

I finally posted mine after over 10,000 hours of play, accumulated
over 10 years.  I posited my opinion that it's a simulator with game
elements bolted on, which isn't for everyone.  For the most part,
you have to find your own things to do -- if you're expecting a game
on rails, Elite Dangerous Odyssey definitely isn't for you.

Also, the game engine also has become a bit dated.  I hope they
update it someday.

I recently took some time out from my regular BGS activities and
went exploring.  It's an excuse to fly space ships looking for
life -- and when finding it, scanning it.  I was 800LY from
Sol, on planets that nobody had ever stepped foot on before.

It's only a simulation, but I still find it a restful pastime.
