It's awesome to see No Man's Sky still up there. I gave up on it long ago but that team has been resiliant with the updates and just making it better for free.
I am absolutely some of that NMS time. I just run it at default, and I get about an hour. Which is great, because after that I really should take a break.
I tried it when it hit Game Pass years ago and had the same experience. Although people tout the expansions as game changing I found it incredibly dull.
