What asynchronous games, or games with asynchronous features would you recommend?

A recent example being Death Stranding and its light social features of indirectly building/maintaining structures or leaving helpful equipment around. The Souls' games message system is another even lighter example.

I enjoy these indirect, optional social features in some games, but they seem few and far between.

Preferably no MMOs/always online game recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Journey is the only other one I can think of.

Journey is so extremely not asynchronous though hahaha

You play with a person the whole time, actively

That is not really true. You can ignore the persons you meet completely and play the whole game on your own. Also, you can only interact through audio effects and a small proximity effect, to charge your scarve. They are more like a ghost, playing alongside you.

I played the first time and had an amazing time with a person who showed me the world.. my partner hates the game because some cunt speedrunner joined them and just left. Fuck anyone who ruins the experience of Journey for someone else
