Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris (2017)
Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris is a 2017 shooter video game made by Bungie.
Curse of Osiris sends Guardians to Mercury, a planet the Vex have converted entirely into a machine world called the Infinite Forest. The expansion follows the search for Osiris, the legendary Warlock exiled from the Last City, as his student Ikora Rey tries to pull him back from obsession. The Forest is a simulation engine capable of running millions of futures, and the story turns on finding a path through it to prevent a timeline where the Vex win. New story missions, a patrol zone, and a Strike round out the content.

A few thoughts on Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris
Stargate Universe shares the feeling of a small group navigating an ancient, incomprehensible alien construct with unknown purpose, where every door leads somewhere unexpected. The sense of scale and mystery maps well.
Worlds run by a simulation testing every possible future
The Infinite Forest turns Mercury into a machine capable of running millions of timelines at once, and these works build the same premise from different angles. Muse's Simulation Theory questions whether reality itself is programmed, Portal and Portal 2 trap their test subjects inside an artificial intelligence's endless experiment, and Ghost in the Shell asks what's left of a person once their mind runs through a machine.
The sound and look of getting swallowed by deep space
Curse of Osiris strands its story on Mercury against a machine vast enough to simulate the future, and these picks share that cosmic scale. Black Holes and Revelations plays like a transmission from the galaxy's edge, the Blade Runner score defined widescreen synth dread, In the Court of the Crimson King is prog rock at its most apocalyptic, and Project Hail Mary follows a scientist facing an incomprehensible threat.
Crews who find something built long before they arrived
Osiris vanished into a Vex machine world built on tech older than anyone chasing him, and these picks share that same unease. Stargate Universe strands its crew aboard an Ancient ship built for a purpose nobody remembers, Half-Life 2 pits Gordon Freeman against an alien order that rewired Earth, Patlabor's robots turn on their own makers, and Skyrim's Dwemer ruins are what's left of a civilization that vanished long ago.
