Good singleplayer games without any story? (lemmy.zip)

Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action.

Do you know any games where there's no story (or very minimal/skippable one), and the game mechanics alone carry the game?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions. There are some that I've never heard of and look very interesting. Will definitely pick some of them up.

Rebel Galaxy. There is minimal story but it's easy to blow through and really only there to provide a reason for what you do.

Space battles that play like sea battles. It's tons of fun.

It is a fun game, but if you know what you're doing it's so exploitable to get powerful components early.
