as someone that used to just aimlessly explore in space engine i really want to play elite. i'm going to wait until the planet walking expansion and might finally dive in
It's a lot more casual that Elite. If you're looking to close the curtains, light some candles, open a spread-sheet, whip out a fat fucking HOTAS and spacetruck all god damn night long -- and who could blame you? -- it won't scratch that itch.
But the spacetruckin' ain't bad either! The exploration, dog-fighting, base building, buggy driving, mech suit, stuff in between is pretty fun too. The work they put into the game since release is kinda great. And not a penny charged for DLC while they did it is pretty admirable, imo.

No Man's Sky is pretty fun now. If you haven't looked into it in a while, might be worth checking out.
my finger hovered over it when i saw it on sale a few months ago after reading about the changes. i may check it out after all!
