I'd rather not do D&D. I had been looking at GURPS (my game of choice back in the day) but I'm aware the rules can seem daunting for new/casual players. I'm thinking maybe a sci-fi space opera game or a pseudo Japanese fantasy game.
I’ve started starfinder recently and it’s a good sci-fi setting. Lasers, aliens, spaceships, power armour, hacking etc. The system is more complicated than D&D 5e but it’s not wildly different. Space lizards, ratmen, psychic insects, androids... what’s not to love!
Android and Aliens is a good podcast that gives you a feel for it and is pretty funny too!
