Ehhh, maybe. While the game is so much better than it was at launch, it's still pretty sandboxy and repetitive. I found myself dropping it after I realized I was trying to build bases to get better at gathering resources to make money to buy bigger ships to make more money to... What exactly?

I came to a realization a few years ago that I am too boring to play sandbox games. I need a tightly crafted narrative, I cannot be left to my own devices. After a long time of trying to get into every sandbox game that looked cool, it was such a relief to finally realize that about myself.

I’m the same way and I hate it.

I really really want to enjoy those games.

Yea Elite Dangeous is kind of the same, you have to make your own objectives or you're just running missions to make money to buy ships to be more efficient at those runs and eventually even bigger ships to make more money.

There is at least a couple of core storyline loops that I think are fairly engaging, besides just setting your own goals.

Isn't that most games, though?

Yeah once I had a fleet and some bases mining resources for a ton of money , and a ship I liked, I kind of lost interest.

It's a good game but it doesn't go on forever.

Unrelated but this is why I stopped play BotW after the first boss temple thingy.
