probably one of the best space games ever made

Don't stretch it. Maybe it could be #10 in a top 10, but when you have the likes of Elite Dangerous, Space Engineers, X4, Freelancer, plus little known indies like Empyrion Galactic Survival and Evochron Legends, it'll hardly be anyone's top choice.

I mean, I generally agree with your assessment, but elite dangerous? I love Elite, but it is not a good game. Best thing to come from Elite Dangerous is the community.

Armada for the Sega Dreamcast is also better than NMS.

How so? Honestly asking.

Judging from a quick Lets Play watch, the game is a top down 2D space combat with 3D graphics. You can go down on planets, but it's a small map and meant mostly to upgrade your ship and repair it. It's a space game with big focus on combat, but with nothing remotely comparable to NMS, really. Despite the irritating sound effects, I'm actually curious to trying it out sometime in the future.
