Will I like No Man's Sky? It's on sale right now and considering it and one other game.

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.

NMS is still a buggy jankfest that took years to get a sort inventory button and yet its still one of my favourites. Being able to fly from planet to planet scratches an itch no other game really does
- I ended up grabbing it and started checking it out. I just got to the point where I got my ship fixed and went to a nearby planet. The seamless transition was something that always intrigued me about the game. Dyson Sphere Program does that too but it's a different type of game. NMS planet scale is also way larger from what I can tell.
