Stray, it just came out and kinda fits in the latter category. Basically you are a cat in a cyberpunk dystopian city, its really fun exploration-wise.

I really couldn't see the appeal of Vagrant Story, I remembered the name from one of my friends talking about it when I was 12 or so.

But it just seemed a fairly repetitive dungeon crawler.

asterism asked for something that gives that lonely exploration feel. i think if you go into vagrant story looking for a vibrant rpg world with lots of characters and epic narrative arc, then yeah, you’re not gonna get anything like that. if you want to get lost in a sparse, claustrophobic, isolated world with a lot of atmosphere, that just happens to also be an rpg, then there you go.

Played Vagrant Story on your recommendation. It hasn't gripped me yet though I may come back to it soon. It definitely has a great atmosphere which is what I am looking for but I find the combat system to be frustrating.

These recommendations I've tried to suggest less commonly played games - these I played on PS Vita so not sure how easy they are to get.

RPG - Soul Sacrifice: Delta. Not really what I'd think of as an old school RPG, more like Monster Hunter. The story starts basic, but gets pretty complicated and twisted if you keep going through multiple times.

Lone explorer - The Swapper - 2D Puzzle Platformer, but really has a lonely feeling to it.

There is a PC release for the Swapper so I might check that out. But I think Soul Sacrifice is Vita only and so I might be out of luck there.
