Same. I keep picking it up every now and again but it really needs me to put a bit of time into it to understand all the new mechanics since launch. I’ll get to it one day!

I felt this same way until I jumped into the Omega expedition. It was an excellent crash course for all the game offers and I now feel way more comfortable jumping into the base game and doing whatever I feel up to.

Can you still play it? Been a while since I've played but last I knew the expeditions were limited-time thingies.

FOMO-leveraging shit needs to stop. All it does is make me not want to touch the thing at all because I know I don't have the time to do all the things in a season.

NMS isn't so bad at it, but seriously FUCK the games that leverage it. Almost as bad as microtransactions.

No one likes to be manipulated/tricked for someone else's profit.

I tried the game two or three times sitting down with the "I want to play a space sim" mindset and could never get past the tutorial. Then the next time, it had clicked that it's a survival crafter that just happens to have a space theme. When I sat down with that mindset and perspective on what I was in for, I suddenly throughly enjoyed the game.

The game just does a really bad job of showing you what it is trailers and other media. Sure, all the things it shows off are there, but they're not the core of the game.
