Is No Man's Sky a good game after all the updates and fixing and adding all the stuff they promised?

I love space stuff but am not the biggest fan of Minecraft style crafting/mining. I don't mind it in Stardew and factory games are a favorite genre of mine, for reference. Basically I like the mechanics but it matters how they are implemented.

I've been trying to find a game that I can just turn my brain off and chill after a long day and right now Stardew is starting to get a bit stale(or I'm just dreading winter since there isn't much to do).

The game looks beautiful and I did spend maybe 100 hours on Starbound, which is like 2D NMS I think, but even on sale, it's at the upper limit I'd like to spend.

The other game is Hyperlight Drifter and it's $6 right now so I'm probably gonna get that one regardless.

Edit: I went ahead and grabbed it. I think my kid will also enjoy watching me play it.

Yeah, completely overhauled game from the original release, actually pretty fun to play. It's still a procedurally generated playground, not a handcrafted gaming experience, but it is fun.

I haven't played in years, but I put in 50 hours back then and when I switched to whatever other game all I thought was "this will be a fun one to regularly come back to and just burn some time in". But, I haven't done that.

I've been interested in the procgen part since I first heard about the game, tbh. I'm a mid-school era roguelike player(angband, broque, nethack) and though I never spent a whole lot of time in those games, the procedural generation stuff always interested me. Seeing that on a game with this kind of scale seems really neat.
