Lol, my grandkids WILL be joining me in exploration as soon as i can ween them off their sippy cups

No, they will react like the kids in Back to the Future II to Duck Hunt lol.

Except Duck Hunt wasn't in that movie... that was Wild Gunman :P

And I'm sorry, but just because you are tired of NMS, that doesn't mean it's a dying game... Plenty of people are only now playing it for the first time.
I only started playing last year.
Yes, I played a lot of it when I first started, and have now done enough that it feels a bit repetitive if I overplay it, but I have other games, so I just play those when I'm not enjoying NMS as much, then come back and continue to enjoy it when they release an update or run an expo...
If you think it's dead, then you should play something else for awhile, and let the people who enjoy it continue to do so...

Lets be honest some people just knock a game they do not like for whatever reason. Now some games deserve do be criticised. The ones that release too early and are a buggy mess, or are out and out cash grabs, or start good and then become cash grabs, or suddenly change their EULA to say that they can grab all your personal data etc.

NMS had a very difficult release. However instead of running away HG worked on it and continue to work on it. It has had dozens of free updates and runs the regular expeditions. All this takes time for the developers to produce. If that does not deserve the Steam labour of love award I don't know what does.

A lot goes down to personal preferences. I have games in my library that I bought, played and then thought, nope this is not for me, sometimes quite a long way though them. It does not mean the game is bad, its just I don't like it.

I've no idea if Hello Moto (OP) has found this thread useful, I just checked their profile again and saw they like Astroneer, a game I have not played but which appears to have some aspects similar to NMS. So I'll just add (since that game has multi player) that while NMS also has multi player it is somewhat glitichy due to the way it works. Your mileage will vary a lot depending on your interment speed and the internet speed of the players around you.

Oh yes and if you get the game turn PVP off, sadly gankers exist in NMS as they do in many other games. I still like NMS all the same.

When you ask this question, it means yes.

I wouldn't recomment it. Then again it's only 79 cents. Haha

worth the price. you get 3 main quests a whole lot of different aspects to the game you can get into without getting stuck in the details of a simulation game and the vibe is very nice. IF you are looking for an intricate simulation or intense and realistic combat this is not the right game. if you want an easy to get into variety of minecraft, deep rock galactic and Elite Dangerous then you are in the right spot

[Golem1.0.]

yes

yes (I have 500h)

Apsolutely not! This game will consume 1000's of hours of your life ! This is a huge sandbox with nothing to do but explore, build bases, hunt for ships and now ship parts, make friends with the wildlife and quests to many to mention and various other things but if thats what you want dont ever say you havent been warned !!

I like the game but you should know two things.

The quest lines are rare and short.
All the universe(es) is(are) just copy paste.

Yes you can have hundreds of hours of fun. and visit thousands of planets. If you enjoy base building maybe even more, but the game itself is way too repetitive due to all the crazy amount of copy paste that is going on.

One would think that they could have introduced more quest lines, races, fractions, things to do in general and to find on planets and in space alike in seven years but it seems like all they knew is howto copy paste content with tiny changes.

The freedom is astonishing but it is basically meaningless because from some point on you will barely see something new.

Fraction reputation raises too fast, (Which might be a good thing because of the lack of variety in any regard.)

Combat on foot and in space is too easy after a short time already.

this ^^^^^^^^

sums up my experience as well. I can only add that building is (kinda) awful – be ready to suffer with poorly made UI in construction mode

also at some point the game may end up being "gotta have them all"-type of thing, as endgame-wise that's one of the most common things to do afaik

[AmberAnvil]

Well, OP asked the question 8 days ago and still doesn't appear to own it....
