Elite Dangerous Odyssey has FPS that is usually constrained to
arena bouts at a settlement.  Though, sometimes you'll have a
mission to restore power at a settlement, and there will be
Thargoid drones roaming around -- they can be tough.

The real "bosses" in the game, though, are the Thargoid starships,
which you don't have to go anywhere near if you don't
want to...usually.

Oh, and sometimes in a "High" Combat Zone, a capital ship
will jump in, which you have to make retreat.  But you don't
end up in a CZ by accident, so you'll know what you're getting
into.

There might be Thargoid foot soldiers at some point, that
might offer some kind of "boss" play.

There's a lot more to the first person play than combat,
though -- I've just flown off on a xenobiology expedition
where one scans fungii, plants, and bacterial mats for
major space bucks. :)
