Seconded elite dangerous, especially if you have VR. If you also have the joysticks for 6DOF control it is super super super fun docking at stations and having dogfights.
Comment on I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant

Elite Dangerous is like that. You’re small in a literal sense, it has a 1:1 recreation of the entire Milky Way galaxy. You can land on a planet and walk into any direction for hours and see nothing but rocks. In terms of gameplay it fits your description as well, there is no predetermined path, you’re just one pilot and you can try different professions and make a fortune, but you will not change the history of the galaxy.

It’s a shame that they half-assed VR support for Odyssey. Elite really shines in VR.

How do you land on planets? I never found a way to get out of the spaceship except at ports

As your ship gets closer to ground, there should be a marker at some point, you press whatever button it is and it auto lands. Try to slow down as you lower the ship

Landing on planets used to require the Horizons expansion. Since 2020 it’s included in the standard edition. Maybe you tried it a long time ago without the expansion ?
Nowadays getting out of vehicles to walk around requires the Odyssey expansion.
