I gave it my best shot, out about 6 hours in, and was left thinking … very impolite thoughts.

You go to the bridge, and get an external view of the ship as if it’s a toy? Why not be able to take a station and do navigation, weapons, science, or command cooperatively with other people? And the MMO style of on-planet combat where there’s chaos, people running through each other, and that rather than combat it’s a statistical exercise was really unsatisfying.

My wife just got me No Man’s Sky for very cheap, I hope that’s a better fit for me.
