Star Horizon is an on-rails space shooter where you're John, a Federation grunt who'd rather be anywhere else, paired with Ellie—an AI co-pilot programmed to keep pilots sane and bound by a hard rule against killing humans. You fly pre-set routes through combat zones, dodging fire and returning it in rapid bursts. When Ellie's mothership gets destroyed, she freezes John for a millennium. He wakes to a galaxy he doesn't recognize and has to piece together what went wrong in the centuries he missed. The setup trades hero fantasies for reluctant survival, and Ellie's restrictions shape how missions unfold. If you want arcade shooting with a sci-fi mystery frame and a protagonist who's tired before the first mission starts, this delivers that mix.
