This kind of game is typically not my thing. I usually prefer games with more of a focus over pure sandbox, but here I am 60 hours deep and I've really enjoyed my time with it.
Despite many of the gameplay systems being very surface level, No Man's Sky has kept me hooked with the intangible desire to just keep exploring. The planets are more often than not quite beautiful and cohesive, which is impressive given that they are all procedurally generated.
My main complaint is that ship v ship battles are insanely simplistic, which to me is a big part of the fantasy of space exploration. Does this kind of game need super deep combat? Not necessarily, but it would be very welcome. Hope this is part of a future update (which are all free by the way).
Overall, the game is really good. Excited for any future updates and to see how Light No Fire turns out. Glad Hello Games stuck with their game and came out the other side more successful than ever.
