Share any games with large natural environments to explore that aren't loaded with shitmobs (this would disqualify STALKER for example). Two examples that come to mind would be Okami and SotC, something more akin to SotC is mainly what I'm thinking of, it isn't "exciting" to explore but the massive, eerily empty landscape is somewhat refreshing to be in, not to mention the huge amount of little points of interest hidden in it. I kind of want that vague spiritual feeling that being alone in nature provides. inb4 hurr go outside

Journey works I suppose, though I think the ruins of the lost civilization are the key feature in that rather than the environment, since the only two you get are a desert and snow-blasted mountain.

Try some of underwater exploration games like Everblue 2 or Endless Ocean, also Abzu.

Talos Principle and The Witness. Just Cause 2 even though it's got enemies all over the map, just by virtue of how large the game world is. GTA V gave me a refreshing feeling of isolation when I played it years ago, purposely flying off into the distant horizon away from all of the chaos and action, or just wandering the wilderness. Minecrap on peaceful mode, especially with some environment enhancing mods.

I'm sure there are a plethora of games like you describe if you simply search a tag like "environmental" or "atmospheric," but I don't think they would give the same feeling, since they're designed for that specific element. The sort of experience exploring a game world or the wilderness always means more when you know it wasn't the main intent of the game devs. It makes your action feel like actual exploration into some unknown territory. WoWin the day and things like finding the little attention to detail secrets in The Elder Scrolls made me feel that way, anyway.
