Trekking around the world got old sometimes, especially when I wasn't sure where to go, but I felt like they designed the layout well enough to let you discover it naturally. I did have to use some outside resources to track some things down after I finished, but I was glad for the experiences I got from just playing it blind for my first run. Currently sitting at 111% completion (out of 112%), but I almost don't want to get the last percent because it means I've officially beaten it, haha.
Celeste is really good, I haven't had a lot of time to really delve into it, but I did try it out and had a pretty good time. Think I set it down around level 4, but I have every intention to beat it at it's fullest! Finding the Pico 8 was awesome, beat the whole thing in one session and was too burnt to finish that level after, had to take a break!
Have you tried Shovel Knight? I've been watching it for some time, from what I've seen it may be close to what you're describing. It's level based with platforming and combat, but I haven't looked too far past that to avoid spoiling it. Anyways, if you haven't tried it, you may enjoy it! -

It takes place in real world time and is based on diplomacy and grand strategy, take a look if you haven't tried it! If you like hex games there's always civ and age of wonder, and if you don't mind auto resolving battles there's the total war series. None of those other ones are in space though, they're much more confined by the map so they might not be what you're looking for.

The art and music is breathtaking, the combat and platforming are succinct and satisfying, and the world, story, and characters are enjoyable and make you eager to learn more. My next two are pretty hard to pin down and would likely change depending on the day you asked me, but right now I'd probably say that Battlefield 4 or Zelda Windwaker would be them. Honorable mentions are the latest God of War, Dark Souls, Metroid Prime, Age of Empires II, Halo 3, Zelda BotW, Cuphead, Fallout NV, or Horizon Zero Dawn.
I don't think envy is disputing that people launder money through art, I think he's arguing there are much more inconspicuous works to use than a piece that basically begs to gain attention and scrutiny. I'll give your links a look when I have more time in case they say something to the contrary, but I'd argue the banana is much more likely to be a genuine attempt at making a statement (i.e. "art") than a money laundering scheme...
