Is No Man’s Sky a good game after all the updates and fixing and adding all the stuff they promised?

I love space stuff but am not the biggest fan of Minecraft style crafting/mining. I don’t mind it in Stardew and factory games are a favorite genre of mine, for reference. Basically I like the mechanics but it matters how they are implemented.

I’ve been trying to find a game that I can just turn my brain off and chill after a long day and right now Stardew is starting to get a bit stale(or I’m just dreading winter since there isn’t much to do).

The game looks beautiful and I did spend maybe 100 hours on Starbound, which is like 2D NMS I think, but even on sale, it’s at the upper limit I’d like to spend.

The other game is Hyperlight Drifter and it’s $6 right now so I’m probably gonna get that one regardless.

Edit: I went ahead and grabbed it. I think my kid will also enjoy watching me play it.

    As a DSP player I’m used to “just enough variety” and after 5 hours and 4-5 planets in so far the variety is ok. I just found a nice planet with floating islands and water and set up a base but got hit with a heat storm halfway through halfway through building it lol. But yeah it’s been chill so far.
