Look at No Mans Sky. Everyone and their grandmother is praising the shit out of it.

1: You must see No Mans Sky. Its going to be amazing.

2: Oh yeah? Whats it about?

1: You explore planets....and.........do some spaceship shooting.................

2: Ok. Whats the story? Do you find treasures on these planets? How is the combat system?

1: .....................................just fucking buy the game.

No man's sky is about whatever you make it to  be. There are fleets of ships that you can ally yourself with or make enemies of. There is space combat as well as ground combat. The problen isn't in no man's sky, but in your own narrow definition of what it should be. It's not a cinematic experience, you don't get mmo type quests where you're told to go kill 5 gnolls or something stupid like that.

 

You do explore planets, you can collect resources for trade if you want. You can do whatever it is you want. The idea of finding a "treasure" is incredibly gamey anyways.
