First or third person, preferably 3D. No post-apocalyptic games unless it's a post-apocalyptic scenario in nature. Also it must have a singleplayer mode. Does anyone know any games like this?

This is going to be an oddball suggestion, but quite a unique gaming experience, in my opinion: NodeCore

It's basically Minecraft meets puzzling to progress through technologies.

The game is rather difficult. And it being so niche, there's no wiki to tell you the solutions, except for actual Wikipedia, because somehow it's relatively realistically modelled.
As such, it has this feeling of being the first human to figure these things out and I found it massively rewarding when I pushed through some of the more complex puzzles.

The whole game is completely free. Just download the Minetest engine/launcher and search for "NodeCore" in the Content-tab.
