    NMS is one of my most played games with over 500hours. What experience does it offer better than Starfield? Outside of seamless planet travel, NMS is a lot less compared to Starfield. Everything is proc gen, the variety is pretty low.

      Your first 100 hours in No Man’s Sky will be packed to the brim with discovery, holy shit, random thing, stuff you didn’t even know existed, three or four ships you didn’t even know you could get, giant space cruisers, black holes on an almost never repeating dispense to your face.

      Generative Aliens and planets aside, NMS is full of surprises.

        True, but once I went through my first black hole, I came out somewhere in the middle of the great unknown, and I thought ok, now what? Do I just go back and diddle around in my own area, or what is this endless vast space even for? I kind of had an existential crisis making me wonder why I was doing anything in the game at all, why did anything I do matter? Never felt that one on a game before, haven’t gone back yet because I’m not sure what to do.
